Decisions ....

The sun is still shining here .. though it's set to change next week and we will be back to the rain and cool days. 
This week was the last class at Practical Philosophy for this term ... 
I can't say that I enjoyed this last term ... it was not so 'practical' as 'theoretical'  ... and now I have to decide whether I am going to return in May ... I'm not great at decisions ... Well I'm ok with material things but when it comes to people I hate to think I am letting anyone down ... so I'm hoping the next few weeks will enlighten me as to what to do ... 
I made a card for our tutor Mike ... he gives up his time and travels a fair way every Tuesday evening just to tutor 4 of us ...


Unlike my decision this was very simple ... The image is from MadeByJanet and a great 'turn to' for masculine cards ...


The sentiment is a stamp from WaltzingMouse

Maybe I just have a lot on at the moment ... I had to come up with something on the last minute last week for Thursday club ... Not easy when you have over 30 people of mixed gender and mixed abilities ... but the lady who was supposed to be covering didn't let us know until the night before that she couldn't make it ... and you know I can't let them down ... 

On Monday I will be doing my talk at the Womens Club and have them make some book houses too ... It's a little nerve wracking thinking about talking to over 40 women ... and I've been preparing a few things to take along to give them some ideas about making and using books

Guess I just need to wind down a little and clear my head .... and maybe create a little something .. "just because" 

I hope you have a great day ... Thanks for stopping by

That image IS perfect for male cards Ros! Love the added stitching and twine with button.
I have a though time making decisions too but not usually about the kind of things you are. LOL You've got a lot on your plate there girl, but just so you know, I bet you'll be a blessing in whatever you do take on. Hugs! :-)

Beautiful card, Ros, what a nice thank your for your teacher! It will all sort itself out, I'm sure. You are so busy, don't let the day pass you by. It has been rainy for the past 24 hours, but the rain waters the earth so I am pleased. Have a wonderful day no matter what you chose to do.

Um amável cartão marinho...Quantas coisas para pensar: sua aula de Filosofia, seus alunos, a palestra...Ocupar amente é muito bom. E muitas vezes é difícil se decidir...

Beautiful masculine card! :) Lovely! You will do wonderful with your talk. The easiest time to talk to a group of women is when you are knowledgeable which you are!

I'm sure your tutor loved that card - it's gorgeous. And not only are lighthouses a great motif for masculine cards but they also always remind me of vacations... so always have a good feel to them.
