I’m starting to think that a week of DIY is a little more than Rich and I can handle.  I think a video will only last five minutes and it ends up lasting 25.  I’m not sure where the time goes once I start talking.  Today’s project is another round of pearlized (and for some reason I keep calling them metallic) inks.  I decided it was too simple, so I added making handmade mulberry paper as well.  Neither really took that long to produce but somewhere along the way, the card I made seemed to take forever.  I may be overstating it with “forever” but seriously, that card took a really long time to make (in my mind).  I’m hoping it is only in my mind and that it really only took maybe five minutes.  How long is too long to create a card?  I used to watch videos of a woman who said she would produce a card in five minutes and she always went significantly over her time limit.  Should I expect to create a card that’s not really simple in a short amount of time?  I’m not sure, but something keeps popping into my head that I don’t believe has any significance to my card issue.  How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?  That stupid Groundhog Day “groundhogeeze” isn’t out of my head yet apparently.  I think I must be trying to decide if I’m chucking enough wood, or if my video is lasting too long.  Oh who can tell what’s going on in my head?  Maybe I should confer with my neighborhood groundhog.  Surely I must speak the language.
