5. Reminiscing about concerts I attended. Sharing a photo I took of the Majestic Theatre in downtown Dallas, TX where I saw Art Garfunkel (without Paul Simon but had a person on instruments) Apr 11, 2014. Art Garfunkel talked to audience and sang. No photography was allowed during performance.  I won a pr of tickets from local radio station KLUV 98.7.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Has been delays in mail. I mailed couple Valentines end of Jan & Feb 1. The one mailed to FL end of Jan arrived Feb 15. Two (one to CO & another to VA) mailed Feb 1 arrived this past wk. Mailed 2/26 a St. Pat Day card & tag to FL and it arrived Mar 1.  Mailed 2/26 a bundle (St Pat Day, Easter & birthdays) of cards in a non padded envelope (padded envelopes are treated as packages with tracking # but not non-padded so no tracking #) to FL and not arrived yet. Anyone else experiencing mail issues?

St. Pat Day Wooly Lucky Tag - Simon WoolyLucky

Click here for What's Happening Thurs 2/25. 

Made this Tag for my Great Niece, Hartley.

Used Simon stamp Wooly Lucky. Heat embossed sentiment. Colored portions of the stamped Llama image. Added a scrap of ribbon.

Glad I found my Tim Holtz stapler and stapler refills. Usually after not using a tool or such for some time not always remember where to find it if it was not put back in a particular place. Last time this happened I bought another stapler and luckily before opening I found mine and was able to return for refund the one that was unopened. Have any of you misplaced an item, rebought & then found the one you had misplaced?
