3 Positives:
test cut for new design went well, but isn’t quite there yet – tweaking today
rain in the forecast – we need every drop!
fixed the talking watch for T. He likes that thing almost as much as his dad did.

My Journey Notes:
T’s first post-op went fairly well. We’re back up to 5 different eye drops a day – with different instructions for all! It’s kind of crazy. Hoping to find a few more things to help with accessibility that aren’t going to cost an arm or a leg — he has to go back to work today or go on unpaid leave. He’s been out the 3 days allowed for illness. If he goes in today, he resets the clock and can use vacation pay for the next two half days he needs to take for his next post-ops. The dr added another one since there’s quite a bit of swelling around the incision site and it’s causing some discomfort under the lid.

Gathered tax documents yesterday. Just missing one now. Hoping to get things ready for filing by the end of the weekend. Fingers crossed things go better than last year.

Tag 2 for this challenge has a bit of a patriotic theme.  I used a popsicle shape from a grouping I found on Creative Fabrica.  I've used it previously – last July on my ministering cards.   Resized to a larger size and each of the pieces was cut from white cardstock. 

I added color using inks from my stash and a blender tool with some painter's tape to block the center area to leave it white.  I added some white paint dots to the blue area and swiped the red and blue areas with some nuvo drops to add a little sheen, though it doesn't really come through.  I inked around the edges using the blending tool.  The popsicle stick is swiped with the inkpad to add a little texture and depth as if it was made of wood.  The star is a shape from the SCAL library and is a stack of three shapes to create a little depth.  I like how it turned out.  I added a button with a little twine to the front of the star and some cotton twine as a hanger is attached to the back of the tag.
