			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My sister-in-law, Janice, visited on Easter Monday and we spent the day at the kitchen sink but we weren&#8217;t doing dishes!  We were making decorative background papers to be used later in card making.  First we did <a title="Bubble Backgrounds" href="http://www.stampersmall.com/techniques/Bubble_Backgrounds.asp">bubble backgrounds</a>, then <a title="Shaving cream backgrounds" href="http://www.littlebit.com/ideas_misc/shaving_cream.htm">shaving cream backgrounds</a>, then watercolor backgrounds (slopping h2o&#8217;s on glossy, etc).  We were like kids dipping Easter eggs!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve developed a few cards with the fruits of our labour.  They can be viewed in the <a title="Valerie's Gallery" href="http://www.steadywinds.com/valgal/view_album.php?page=1" target="_blank">card gallery</a> 2006/04/16-19.

		<description><![CDATA[Read this on CST today and really liked it:
Aquote from the Jewish Rabi Baal Shem Tov
&#8220;From every human being there rises a light that
reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that
are destined to be together find each other, their
streams of light flow together, and a single brighter
light goes forth from their united being.&#8221;
