Hello!!!  It's time for the Bird Is The Word challenge and we have a new word to use in a layout or project and it's... "WISH".

Well, continuing in blogger land I dropped by Once Upon A... Sketch if you love to play with sketches this fabulous site is perfect for you!!
I love Nadia's sketches and the Journal criteria in her challenges but for my commitments with  some DT,  I really haven't had much time to play it, but now with the CCG situation and finished some DT..I can play again!!!


This is Nadia' sketch... 

Journaling Criteria:  A most embarrassing/awkward/uncomfortable moment
or ... more details.....HERE
I have some embarrassing moments but this one...Won!!  because my hubby told everybody!!
Two years ago, we had a cruise trip and I was going to buy some Holland cheese, bags and liquors that you can find a better price in these islands but I didn't want to carry the bags all day.  Many stores have a service that they send the bags directly to the ship, you only need to fill a document with some information and...voila!!!
I was in that store and found a fabulous bag, some liquors bottles and cheeses and I went to ask the store employee if they have the service to the ship...lol!!
I really don't know what was on my mind yet...
I was thinking in "Spanglish" and instead of saying
that, I asked......
Do you ship to the BARC????
I never forgot the expressions of the people around me, specially my husband who opened his eyes and started laughing.  And of course, as soon as I said "Barc" I realized my mistake and I tried to fix it.
In Spanish the word "ship" means "barco" and I eliminated the last letter "o" and tried to make it sound like an English word....that was the funniest thing, lol!!!...  new word...Barc...
