HOORRAAAYYY for the last project! The day has finally come and we are all just soo excited! Okay, we are all too busy to be excited about anything. Ever. For the Final Project we were to create a personal version of Old Maid with the Old Maid being a factor that keeps us from being creative. If anyone knows me ... headaches wear me out. I made one extra card because I can not count until AFTER the project is over. I am awesome like that! I also chose my handwriting for the type because this card set is about the things that influence me and the headaches that keep me from being creative.
Here is my version of the Old Maid card. When a headache comes ... nothing else does!
