I received an email the other day. A challenge, actually. One of the places I purchase craft supplies from has asked for 100,000 cards for children in the foster care system.
I have never made cards for anyone else, but I think this is a worthwhile task. So, I mentally decided to make 100 cards (they want them in sets of 10) for the challenge.
Wish me luck.
Until next time, stay healthy.
I did a little shopping and, in my defense, there was a sale.
I think I am ready to start my Easter cards, just as soon as I finish my St. Paddy’s day ones and, a few birthday cards.
Until next time, stay healthy.
Gotta love this generation and their motto to ‘be kind.’
I think it is a bit better than my generation‘s ‘don’t be a dick, asshole.’
although, sometimes I fall back into old habits.
I have hundreds of books in my house. Thousands of books on my kindle. Most of which I spent good money on.
So this weekend, I went to the library and picked up new books, which I am reading.
I’m pretty sure this is a common thing.
God help me, if the library started renting bedrooms on rainy days.
I would probably move in:D
If you’re looking for a little adventure this Valentine’s Day, they have a new section called blind date with a book where they wrap a book in brown paper, give a little tease about what’s inside and let you check it out. Pretty cool and reminds me of a friend, author Cathy McDavid, who would do the same thing at book signings.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
And remember, you’re the one who you’ll spend this life with—be kind to yourself.
I was happy to be able to craft this weekend and finish my Valentine’s Day cards for family and friends.
I definitely prefer the ability to see my treasures (it must be the dragon in me) and the new hanging file folder holder helped me select the best background paper.
The problem came in when I was looking for my Happy Valentine’s Day stamp. Way, way too stamps that were not organized in a way to make finding the right one easy.
It was good information, even if it was an aggravating discovery and the cards don’t have stamps inside.
Ah, well, I have more work to do.
Until next time, stay healthy, warm and dry.
If you have cats, you know how much they love boxes:
What I didn’t expect was the oneupsmanship when there was an ironing board involved.
Until next time, stay healthy.
I picked this book because the book that I wanted wasn’t in stock. It is an interesting mix of history and social manners in the time of transition into social rules versus aristocratic authoritarianism.
And just because it is cooler out and I can use the oven, I purchased these two cookbooks thanks to my oldest’s bragging of delicious recipes.
Until next time, stay warm and dry (Although, I will be out in the rain, because it isn’t too cold and I love the rain).
I paused my organization and cleanup of my craft area to make a few cards. The first cards I made were to say happy birthday, thank you and that I am thinking of you.
I love the split design, but as usual, when you clean up and organize, it takes a while to find stuff. In this case it was my Love From Lizi peel-offs.
I finally found them when I was taking pictures for last week’s post. Doh!
Next, I started with on the Valentine’s Day cards. I was going to use a telescoping hearts, but decided against it for these first 6.
I really love this paper and ephemera from Not 2 Shabby. On the two on the bottom, I practiced a new technique using stickies from Pink and Main. The pictures don’t do justice to the shininess of the two in the bottom left.
Now I just have to make another 9 cards and I should be done.
Until next time, stay healthy.
Cats will destroy things and play in the wreckage.
