Fiber Bubble: Sleepy Super-Heroes

Sleepy Super-Heroes

I didn't get as much card making done as I had hoped to this weekend. I spent time making door decorations. I promised one of my favorite university peeps that I would make his 'door decs' for the rest of the semester. I made three sets: super-heroes, mustaches, graduation mortar boards for the last month of school. I need to pick a residence floor with fewer residences! I made 40 of each of the three themes. Here is the door dec for the end of the semester:

Here are a few - imagine 40 of them. I sent him a photo of all three sets...he liked the super-heroes best. Good to know guys never outgrow Spider-man, Thor, Batman, and Superman! I made door decs last year for a girl's floor....I think it was more fun!

Once I accomplished my day of playing Resident Assistant, I got busy with a card.

Me: You do realize you don't even have a girlfriend yet. Alum: I've had girlfriends. The 9 babies clause seems to be a deal breaker for some reason. Me: How do you feel about tennis?
