Where Have I Been?

Where I have been lately? I recently had the flu for 10 horrible days and really couldn't do much of anything. It felt like I was alive but really dying. I am just glad that I had several people that brought me food even though I wasn't able to eat it all. I would nibble and that was about it. My energy level is back and I am up and moving around. This flu that is out is no joke at all. Of course, the weather at the time wasn't helping it either. So be careful because the flu bug is out there.

Pay It Forward

I participated in this status challenge on Facebook and it was called pay it forward. I had to copy and paste the status to my status and get 5 people that would participate in making and sending our 5 handmade gifts. Being the crafter that I am I couldn't pass this challenge up. I made a very quick but cute thank you card. My scanner isn't scanning working correctly I think it is dying.

Valentine Card

Happy New Year's To Everyone!!!!! I do hope all is well with everyone that is reading this post.

Today, was a great day to stamp here in Southern California it was wet and rainy. I hung out with my two stamping pals Char and Rose. We stamped together, talked together, and ate together. It is great to have well rounded buddies.

My card was put together today with the help of my buddies. I tried birthing this card last night but it just didn't come alive until today. Thanks girls

One Layer Thank You

My post today is very clean, simple and it is done with one layer. This cards are very easy to mass produce. I think what took most of the time was tying the knot to make sure it was tied correctly.

I am giving these cards out to a few of my candle clients. I decided to put a post it note on the inside of the card letting them know I appreciate them. Then they may want to recycle to card.
