Blast from the past!

My husband and myself have finally

made the decision to downsize and move from

our home into a condo.  We made an offer two weeks

ago and it was accepted so now the packing

begins.  This week I began packing up my craft loft and

can I tell you, this is tough!  We all know most of us

are paper hoarders and we have do dads of all kinds.

Both my Cricut Expression & Silhouette Cameo

are now put away.  My cuttlebug and dies are packed.

I gave away more set of Stampin Up stamps than

I care to think of - so what does that leave me?

A very clean craft room!  LOL!

I felt like this would be a good chance to post

some of my previous projects that I have loved

so much.  Thank you for your support!

I love that you follow my blog and if you've just

happened upon my blog for the first time,

stay tuned!  If all goes well, I should be 

crafting again in September!

Since I'm eating cherries - I thought this would be an

appropriate card.  Featuring Cardztv Stamps, I love this card.

Inside!

Thanks for stopping by!

Butterfly Shaker Card

First let me say - I've missed you all!

It's been almost two weeks since my last post

and I truly miss making cards/crafts/3D projects and

posting them, but life has a way of getting

IN THE WAY!

Ha ha!  Not really.  I had the joy

of having my two sons, their wives and all

three grandchildren at my home at the

same time.   I have one son who lives

locally and the other one is from MN, so not

 a lot of opportunity to have them all together.

It was a rare treat, but I'm sure you understand

why crafting was low on the list of things

to do!

My hubby and I are making moves to sell

our home and downsize.  This is a tough decision!

I have so many great memories here, it's hard

to think it's time to make this move.

My head tells me it's time, but my 

heart tugs at me to stay especially after

entertaining the entire family last week.

I'd appreciate your prayers so we make the

right decision.  If we place an offer on the home

we are looking at now, we would like to sell our home

as soon as possible.

I have a beautiful card to share with you today.

I have a staff member leaving my office on Friday for

a new opportunity and I wanted to make her a special card.

I used a Silhouette file for the Butterfly shaker.  OMG!

This was so easy.  I used Anna Griffin paper and I love

the shimmer.  I think the card is very elegant.

If you have a Silhouette, there are several

shaker cards in the store.  They are easy peasy!

Have a great night!

You are a lifesaver!

Working without power in a medical office is

a real challenge but today it happened in  mine.

I work with a great team who rose to the occasion

and helped me in every way.  I made them

little post it note covers and used My Creative Time's

newest release to express my gratitude.

Crafting is my way of destressing, so I made 10 of

these little cuties!

They were fun and I apologize for the poor

photography but it's darker in my loft than

when I usually take photos.

Need to destress!  Join me in cutting and glueing

and make something fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Anniversary!

I'm sure you all feel how FAST

life is moving these days, right?  Well

right before my eyes, my son and daughter in law

celebrated their anniversary and I was so busy

it passed me by and I didn't get a card made :(

Well, today I made up for it!

Here's whats going in the mail tomorrow:

The owls are a Stampin Up punch and I only

punched them out in black so I could use them as

silhouettes.  The branch and leaves I found in

the Silhouette store.  I used four

dies from My Creative Time for the clouds, sun

and mats on the inside.

Of course I had to sprinkle some sequins from

My Craft Spot, twine from Trendy Twine and sentiments

from Cardztv, FOR THE BIRDS.

HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY EVERYONE!
