Saturday Shines

And such a beautiful Saturday morning it is here in Dallas. The cat has the right idea. Opened windows for everyone! I tell you what, having these few days off from work have been nothing less than Heaven. The million things I planned to do on these days off--well, I've made a dent in. Truly. Today I do need to dash and buy a new printer. The one I had, which was free--has paper jam which I can't find where any more paper is jammed. I've even removed dust. A couple weeks ago, the printed started to hum before it made its louder than usual loud noise before it printed. The printer drank more ink than I did frappucinos. The printer was given to me by a chum 6 months ago. It sat in the unopened box for a year or two. So I've gotten my money out of it! After the printer stuff gets done, I need to write my autobiography for one of my classes. Only 6-7 pages. Wow. My life in 6-7 pages. Talk about Reader's Digest Condensed version! Nonetheless, it is a splendid day the Lord has made. And I gotta go out and rejoice in it!

Print On Paper Napkins

Ain't for me.
Yea..yea. That whole practice makes perfect thing--
It could be the printer-
Or, as I don't wanna admit it: could be me!
I can print on napkins. So if I can, you certainly can.
The thing is to get the napkin to feed thru the printer.
I do anchor the 3 ply dinner napkin to a piece of cardstock
I realized, on my printer anyway, I need the end that feeds into the printer
Must be the actual cardstock and not napkin covered.
Otherwise the cardstock covered napkin goes right thru the printer
With nary a drop of ink on the napkin. Not amused.
So after about 5 napkins, I left about a quarter inch of cardstock uncovered
And napkin was printed on almost beautifully,
I wasn't almost out of ink, hence the picture came out too light...
I do love the look of napkin as decoupage-
And yes, practice DOES make perfect...
My guess is I need more practice to find somebody
Who prints on napkins perfectly and inexpensively....
Stay tuned!
