Hi, again!

Another heads-up: I will be taking my first vacation of the year (yikes!) from September 2 to September 9, so please be on your best behavior! 

 

Seriously though, no one will be moderating the site or answering site emails at that time (or if I do, it will only be very minimally), so please be patient if response times are slower than usual, or if oddities (like the spam that occurred this morning) take longer than usual to correct.

 

Also, there will be no Saturday Spotlight on September 5, but I resume them upon return on September 12.

 

Thanks!

Signed, Desperately Seeking Time Off

My first surprise was posted, titled chalk b (I think) lol.

 

Attempting to upload my bigger surprise just for you!

 

Here goes (praying)...  See attached.   I couldn't believe I did it!  I had some harrowing moments though, lol.  Yep, I wouldn't leave it alone and tore a few spots (sad face).  But I can cut around that.  

The first two pics were done in several applications.  I got so anxious, I don't remember exactly what I did.  I only used one side of the mat.

 

The next pics were done with one application.  I forgot to dust the mat.  Had difficulty removing it from the mat, tore and stretched it.  I used both sides of the mat.  One side got murdered - lol - and trashed.  I'm sure you can vision my reaction.  It wasn't pretty!  lol   Anyway, I kept the two shreds, put on parch and into a zip lock.  I was surprised when I looked at them again that they could be handled.  I kept them thinking I might be able to use them.

 

But; yes, always a but...   I don't know what to do with them.  lol

Great! It takes a little while to get used to working with SugarVeil and when to pull it from the mats, but it looks like you got there. I'm not checking site posts very frequently while on vacation, so I haven't seen any of the photos you mentioned yet. But will look more closely when I return in a few days.

Thanks so much.  I thought you came back because I saw comments and the video.  I'm sorry to infringe on your relaxation.  

(I assumed you the site is triggered to tingle you when your name is mentioned and all other activity.  lol)

No problem. I've been checking in every couple of days; otherwise, I'll have way too much email to deal with when I get back.
