Fairly simple, but I like the strips of paper and how this turned out.

All supplies are CTMH.

New Paper Storage!

I’m so excited! My Dad has been working on some paper storage for me and my Mom. He’s come up with a paper tower which will replace the wire racks we’ve both been using. The cool thing is it uses the racks as shelves. He’s making each of us 2 of them and I can’t wait to get it! Here’s a pic of the finished product!

Why there have been no new cards …

Well, my family all left yesterday and now I’m back to an empty house. I’ve been revelling in that! The house needs clean, and the yard needs attention, but I’ll get to that!

In the meantime, I have major problems in my craft room. In the past 2 weeks things have piled up some. Due to my current living situation, my craft room is also my bedroom. So, it can get a bit tight at times.

Here’s what I’m up against! I hope to post pics again once I get it all cleaned and re-organized.

My Blog Win Candy!

Here’s what I got in the mail from Jen over at Pieces of Me! Thanks Jen! It made my day getting it!

Wisdom Doesn’t Come With Age …

Hi everyone! Sorry for being away so much, but with my brother and sis-n-law being here, it’s been hard to do much of anything. I’m over 400 blog updates behind on my Bloglines!!! I try to look at a few a day, but I haven’t had much luck even doing that. It looks like they are probably leaving at the end of this weekend, so I should be able to get back on track next week!

Also I received some Blog Candy from Jen over at Pieces of Me that I won for a Sketch Challenge! I’ll get a picture of that posted in the next couple of days! Thanks Jen!!! It made my day!

In the mean time, here’s another Birthday card. It’s actually a card I made some time ago. My co-workers Birthday is tomorrow … or as she calls it, her 8th anniversary of being 30! LOL The inside says “… Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.” Hopefully she’ll get a kick out of it.

Papers: CTMH - Make a Wish Paper Packet

Kokapelli!

Hi everyone!

WOW - 1500 hits! That’s great!! I’m so glad to know people are reading my blog and visiting!!! Thanks for all the encouragment and posts!

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a new card. I sat down and made myself make a card tonight.

It’s a simple card, but I love the colors (pink of course)!

I saw a card over on Wickedly Wonderful Creations that I loved. She created a background out of squares. I used the idea to make my own card.

Quick Check in!

Hey everyone,

I’m still here! My brother and sister in law got into town early Monday morning. They’re moving back from Italy! So needless to say I’ve been away from the computer, and most everything else the last couple of nights. I hope to get some new cards posted tonight though!
