Many Thanks - May 23, 2013


 Lately, I have found that I needed to send out several thank you cards!  Does it ever occur to you that the art of letter writing or even sending out a personal thank you note is foreign to others?  We might not think about this often, since we take the time to make cards for our family and friends.  However, today I was reminded that there is an entire generation out there who thinks everything should be done over the internet or via text.  The importance of receiving a handwritten note to someone is foreign.  I think it is the greatest thing ever to receive a handwritten note.  First, I know someone cared to sit down and take the time to write to me and take it to a mailbox.  Second, I love to see someone's writing!  Do you ever recoginze someone's handwriting?  Handwriting is so unique!  Third, opening up that mailbox and receiving a letter is far more enjoyable than bills, junk mail and even a craft order!  Yes, I said a craft order!  Why?  Because it is personally for me!  Hopefully, letter writing will never fade and the etiquette of a good thank you note will last too!

WHOO - Thank you - May 22, 2013






I am starting to get my mojo back with a sketch from Mojo Monday #294.  I had a great time making this special Thank You card for a special time I recently had up North!  I hope the recipient enjoys my card just as much as I enjoyed making it!

I am also entering Paper Playtime Challenge Buttons or Brads!  I just love the brad that I added to the ribbon!

Thanks for W-H-O-O-I-N-G By!

Mother's Day Cards - May 21, 2013




I am so happy!  I have been traveling for two weeks with work, and it is wonderful to be back in my craft room.  Today, I am sharing my mother's day cards!  They turned out to be a big hit!  Everyone really likes something personalized!  The blue card was for my mother-in-law and inside was a picture of her and my hubby!  The pink card was for my mother and inside was a picture of my mother and I!  Thanks for stopping by!
