I jumped on my computer this morning and this article from Business Insider caught my eye and I thought it sounded interesting so I decided to click on the link. I want you to know, I don’t do this very often as I try to be focused when doing my computer work. I am so glad I did because it brought to mind things that we do here in the USA that isn’t done elsewhere in the world. I got to thinking,” How did these things come to happen if they aren’t done anywhere else?”
I have never done this on my blog before but I thought you may enjoy to ponder on a few of these things today……
Here are a few of the items that got me thinking:
#1: Throwing a Baby Shower: they aren’t done elsewhere and are considered rude.
Does your family or friends throw them?
#2: Chatting with strangers and making small talk. Really?
I don’t think I could pass a stranger and not say hi. Or how about standing in line someplace and not striking up a conversation?
#3: Drinking huge cups of coffee while walking around.
I’m not a coffee drinker, but why is this strange?

I hope you don’t mind me sharing these things that aren’t considered normal and I know you come here to be inspired so I thought I would share one of the projects from my No-Line stamping watercolor class that I held on Friday evening. We had SO MUCH fun!
This is the bird image from the “Better With You” stamp set. It was the last image that students painted and I believe their favorite.
I started them with a smaller, cowboy boots image, then the flower image from the “Better With You” stamp set, and we ended with this bird image.
Each students image was unique. I loved watching them a they discovered what worked best for them in water coloring the images.
If you’d like to see a few of the other images visit my Facebook Page or Instagram.
DO you think the world views learning how to watercolor using stamps is strange?
Enjoy your weekend!
