I am a mom of two. I was lucky enough to marry my high school sweetheart and best friend. We have three cats, two dogs and 2 hamsters in our family. I was diagnosed with Lupus a while back and had to quit my job due to stress. Now I am a SAHM trying to help our budget by designing craft items on ETSY... Thank goodness for the crafting community.. They are truly the kindest people in the world...
This Magnolia Tilda card was created for the Halloween Challenge at Magnolia Stamp Lovers... Check out all the other designs at: http://magnoliastamplovers.blogspot.com/
Just a quick post to let everyone see what cards I've been working on... I had so much fun with the Halloween one..
I've been in a card frenzy for some reason.. I don't know why.. i think that because its been so long that seeing how quick the cards go together just makes me happy.. I'm LOVING the coloring using gamsol.. but I've got my eye on some copic markers... can you say "Oh, Santa...."... anyway, thought I'd share some of the designs I've been working on.. Hugs for now..
WOW.. time truly does fly. I have not been able to craft anything in almost a year.. (GASP, CLANK) (sound of several hard core crafters hitting the floor.. LOL) This past year has been very hard mentally for my family. We lost my mom and I just have not had the energy to even think about crafting.. Now that fall is approaching I can feel myself start to come alive again. My mom LOVED the fall. It was her favorite time of the year. She would always visit and we would sit in the craft room with coffee and dream of our next craft project.. I miss that.. I miss her.. but I know that she is watching me from above.. (probably telling Saint Peter that she would have used a different color stickle for that paper).... Its time now to get back into the things I love. Family, Scrapping, Crafting... and to realize that its o.k. to be happy again. Thats what mom's want for us...
