Re-charge so you can do it again.

Today I am packing up and heading to OnStage!  This is my way of re-charging and getting new ideas for you.

In the meantime I have finished my swaps…

The invitations are out so let me know when you are coming (and if the invitation is easier to read).

So as I re-charge remember to mail your cards, share your smile, and maybe even grab lunch with that friend of yours you have been meaning to call.

Happy Crafting!

Lots of cards this week.

Lots of cards are being created this week.  Lots and lots.  Why?  I am getting ready for OnStage of course.  Here is a photo of my swap.

And here are the video links (sorry my internet cut out so there are two videos) on how to make it with a bonus of the stamparatus.

And part 2 to finish it up.

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!

Invisible punches.

Do you remember how to make your punches invisible?  Take a mat and punch out of the middle so you don’t miss it.  Then you have your accent piece that is guaranteed to match and not be missed.

Big stamps for little things.

Sometimes the largest stamps can be used for small things.  In this case the stamp set Definitely Dahlia is used to create a background.  Not only can the little stamps be used to create a patterned background but the big ones can too.  This flower is one that will test your ink pads to guarantee that they are inked properly.

Card class is next week after I get back.

Well, if I am getting everything done for class and OnStage I’d better get running.

Easter Sunday

After finishing a three day show I am tempted to just watch a movie and be done for a bit.  But no…there is a ham to cook.  So while muscles might be stiff from sitting for three days with intermittent spurts of moving tables, etc. there is my other therapy to do.  I love to cook.  Not bake, but cook.  What else do you do to break up the routine?  What do you enjoy?

Happy Crafting!

One little gesture can lead to friendship.

Sometimes it just takes an extra smile or a little bit of effort to make a lasting impression.  This was the case about five years ago.  One of our friend of a friend was having a hard season of life.  We didn’t know her very well but could tell something was going on.  Eventually it came to her birthday and it just seemed to be a horribly bad day for her.  I didn’t know what to do.  It didn’t seem I could help.  But it wasn’t my turn to help.

As I sat and tried to think of how to help my husband was already half dressed and working his way out the door.  He threw his kilt and a shirt on and was working on the seven twists for his laces of those ghillie brogues.  Halfway out the door he blurts out “be back soon”.

On a side note for those of you that know Joel…this is not uncommon.  He will often dart out of the house without me knowing what is going on.  It’s just him and I’ve learned to accept it.

He heads up to the local college and shows up to the library (of all places) with bagpipes.  He proceeds to play happy birthday and give a big squeeze to this girl having a hard time.  Little did I know that she would become a friend for life over that simple gesture.

Here’s the moral of the story.  You never know what kind of impact you will have.  No matter how small but do something.  So, go mail that card, share a smile, or even go play bagpipes (not recommended).

Happy Crafting!
