January

One day it was here the next it was gone! Don't know where January went, but here I am at the end of it and don't really have anything to show for it. Work has been busy, I've been taking some evening classes and volunteering all weekend at church for the last few weekends. So there hasn't been much time for creating and I've been feeling it. So today while the workmen are here completely re-piping my house and cutting big holes in the walls all over the place, that they assure me will be patched up so no one will ever know, I closed myself in my creative space and made a birthday card. Just one since I've also had the dog in here pacing because she can't go out and bother the workers.




(about the card: I used mostly scraps that were floating around my worktable, and I've been fidgeting with making crepe paper flowers, I kind of like how they turned out. All the ink and cardstock is from Close to my heart. and so is the birdcage stamp and the glitter, of course.)
I must have birds on the brain because tomorrow I'm going with a friend on a photographing trip to the Bosque Del Apache Bird Refuge. Our photography instructor is meeting us there to help us work on our technique. It's supposed to be beautiful, 62 degrees. Can't wait, it should be fun. If I get any good shots I'll be sure and let you know. Talk to you again soon.

Christmas mini's

Mini tags that is.  These are little 2x2 gift cards with coordinating envelopes.  I'm in a little bit of a retro color kick.  There's lots of glitter and bling as well.  I had some left over mini flower picks so I pull them apart and used bits and pieces as embellishments.

The stamp set is from Close to My Heart.  I used Tulip red and an old robin egg blue stamp pad and papers.  I'm trying to be frugal and use up some of my older scraps.  I'm also trying to get a jump on the season.  So far this is all I've accomplished... Some jump right?  Oh well, I'll keep trying.
Have a great week and I'll talk to you again soon.

stitching up some cards

 I stitched up a set of cards and used Close to My Heart's TLC sentiments set.  Four cards with coordinating envelopes.  Even though I used my sewing machine they took a long time to put together.  But so worth the outcome.

Have a great week, I'll talk to you again soon.

New School Year New Staff

It's time to head back to school and once again we are adding new staff members.  I put together some goody baskets filled with a few classroom essentials and then made welcome tags for each one.  Sigh, the summer went so fast this time.  Talk to you again soon!
