Special Occasion Cards

Hello Everyone! I began these cards on Wednesday and I finished them today. It snowed all day Wednesday and I found myself stuck in the house one more time. Thursday, oh it was so cold but I had to go buy more paper to make the first card. I cleaned the snow off my car and away I went. The streets were not bad once I got on the main ones.
This first card will be given to my Red Hat sisters during our March meeting. I ended up making 15 cards. It is me and another one of my Red Hat sisters turn to be responsible for our activities in March. I just wanted to give each one, one of these cards since March will be National Women's History Month. I'm trying to figure out if I want to put a group picture of us inside or just each one's individual picture. I still have plenty time to decide.
The second card is masculine. I realized that I just don't have a lot of masculine cards so I'm trying to make more. I got the inspiration from another cardmaker.
Well I'm trying to keep up with my blogging and hopefully I can continue to have more to offer this year. Thank you for stopping by and Please sign my guestbook or leave me a comment. Until next time . . . . .

SNOW, SNOW, SNOW

Hello Everyone,
It has snowed all day and what better to do than make cards. oh, I could clean house, but that's no fun. Here is what I came up with today. The first card was inspiration from another card maker. The second card is my card for my sweety. The first picture is of some kids making a snowman in the park across the street from where I live. They were having fun too. Guess I should have went to help them, but they did a good job. More snow is suppose to be on it's way. That's one way of making me do what I need to do. Or should I say love to do (lol). So until next time . . . . .

So Thankfu!!!

Hello Everyone,
Just wanted you to see the thank you card I made and sent to the one's that made my party such a great event. Just wanted them to know that I appreciate what they done for me. Trying to decide if I want to blog some of the pictures. I'm waiting on my son to send me the ones he took. So until next time . . . . .

Where Have I Been?

Hello Everyone,
It has been sooooo long since I have posted to my blog and for that I hope you can forgive me. My life has made a big change and it seems like I just don't have the time I need to get things done. As you can see, I haven't posted since October. Well, October 3rd was the day that my life changed. After waiting a lot of years, God sent a man into my life and I truly thank him. This man was not a stranger cause we have known each other for years. I just can't explain what a difference he has made in my life. Christmas was oh so good. My 54th birthday in January, he gave me a surprise party. The first one I've ever had. I am just so blessed! Thank you Jesus. But also, I try my hardest to make sure he is happy. Oh well, enough of that cause I could go on and on.
This is my submission for a card challenge I participated in for a friend. I have made some other Valentine's Day cards that I will post later. Hopefully, I will get my time better arranged so I can get back to cardmaking and scrapbooking. I have really missed it.
So until next time . . . . .

It Won't Be Long . . . . .

Hello Everyone! Well it won't be long until Christmas. My friend and I got together and made cards. I decided to get started on making some of the Christmas Cards I'll need for this year. I have been putting it off, but finally, a start! I usually make between 80 - 100 cards and last year I had some left over, so If I can get my get up and go to get up and go, I might have it made. So instead of me sitting hear talking about what I need to do, I'm gonna get back to work. So until next time . . . . .

Fall is Just a Week Away

Hello Everyone!!! Do you believe summer is just about over and the arrival of Fall is just around the corner. With all that said, here are some cards to get you in the mood.The first group is our card class classwork for October. Each month I pick out 3 cards for the class homework and my friend picks out 3 for the classwork. I always look forward to putting together all the cards. I sometimes surprise myself when I look at what I have made. I really enjoy this.
The other group of cards are just some I had picked out while visiting other blogs. I have 2 weeks left before it will be time for the women's conference. I am getting more and more anxious as time gets closer. Wish me luck and prosperity.
Please feel free to sign my guestbook and leave me a comment. Until next time . . . . .

Got my Homework Done

Hello Everyone!!! I spent this past week getting some of the things done that I needed to do. Of course I had to do my homework. The card to the far left is just a card that I saw and liked, so I made it. The other three cards are my October homework for our card class. I really liked these cards and was excited about trying to make them. My friend went to Nashville and spent the week with her mom. I took advantage of this past week and I am proud of the things I accomplished. Not only did I make cards, but I also cleaned out kitchen cabinets, turned my paper into the printer, and did a few things for other people.
Well Saturday morning I got up and begin to prepare for our card class. It was around 8 a.m. when I heard a knock at my door. I had no idea who it could be. When I asked who is it?, he said "Who you think?" I was so surprised to see my son. He said he got off from work in Louisville and kept on driving. He really made my day. It has been a while since he came home by himself to spend time with me. I did miss not having him bring my granddaughter. But this was like old times. It also gave him a chance to get some much needed rest. We went out to eat Sunday before he left going back to Louisville. Afterwards, we spent some time at home just talking. He left around 7 p.m. and yes, I got teary eyed. I really cherish the time when he and my granddaughter are here.
Well I guess I will be making some more cards soon. The women's conference is coming soon and I hope to be able to share my work with the ladies there. This is a first and I'm getting excited. So until next time . . . . .
