Bridget's Birthday

Happy Birthday Bridget! This card was fun to make. I don't know many adults would like to get a card with candies in it, so I added the bird, cause Bridget loves birds more than.... chocolate.

Where Have I Been?

Hello again, I have been MIA again. It's not that I haven't been making cards and scrapping, it's more of a time management problem. If there were only another five more hours a day, I think I could do everything I'm trying to do in a day.
I have been making cards to give away, rather than stash for my next Demo or workshop. I found there is great satisfaction in actually creating a card for a person, rather than for a challenge, or a workshop. Ironic, hey? What I am trying to say is I lost prospective of what was important, and placed too much emphasis keeping up with the papercraft industry.
So, now my posts will start with "I made this card for...." , so here goes.
I made this little card for Naomi and Matt, Olivia and Stephie, 'cause they have a new baby sister, Jessica!
The Stamp set is All in the Family, and Neighbourhood Wheel. The pram is from Fun and Fast notes. I made the baby to pop up and down out of the pram. It took a little figuring out, and as usual, these great ideas come because I made a booboo, that had to be fixed - hence the pop up baby was improvised. Thanks for stopping by. : - )

Happy New Year Everyone!

Here we are, it's 2010! I have had a really great 2009, and did lots of things that I had on hold. It was a great year of home renovations, spending more time doing domestic things like de cluttering, and helping out at the local school. Teaching Religion was one of the highlights. I had the grade three and Four, and they were the loveliest group of children. The grade four children were so enquiring, and eager to learn.
I took up Quilting with the local Uniting Church ladies, and had the best time. There is something wonderful about these ladies, they are so much fun, and are so helpful and knowledgeable. I am looking forward to starting back and making a few quilts this year.
I am still a SU! consultant, and look forward to paper crafts this year too.I hope to spend a little more time scrapbooking this year. My kids are all heading towards 18 and 21st's so it would be nice to present them with an album.
I started with a ladies bible study group this past year also, but stopped to help a friend with cancer. The group leader has kept me stocked in the books, and I have enjoyed doing them at home. I hope to continue this in the new year. My friend is starting an other round of Chemo, so I still want to be there for her.
John starts grade 1 this year. He had so much fun in Prep. and is looking forward to starting back. I decided not to home school him, as he spends so much time around teens and adults. He is really enjoying being one of the little people.
