Some days I feel like conquering the world and others I could hide under my blanket. I know you have days like this too. Right? I bet you’re thinking…she’s lost it. Nope, not at all. Instead of encouraging you to go out today to give back I want to tell you to stay in. ReadContinue reading “Take back your life.”

Sometimes giving back is close to home.
When I post about giving back on a Friday it’s usually about an organization or someone far away that needs help. This time it’s right here. Right in our own crafty family. One of the girls this week has been through a very painful sinus surgery. She is recovering slowly but can use a littleContinue reading “Sometimes giving back is close to home.”
Relay for Life
Sometimes the way to give back comes to you. This year Relay for Life is in 29 Palms. If you feel like donating in cash or greeting cards please drop them off. I will stop by on Saturday evening to bring any remaining cards to be signed for Girls Love Mail. I would encourage youContinue reading “Relay for Life”
Making a ripple in this big pond.
Did you see it? Last night there was a ripple made in our big pond called society. 7 of us got together and talked, laughed, and created. Cards were made to send for happy mail just because. They were created to get back in touch with someone and remind them that they were not forgotten. Continue reading “Making a ripple in this big pond.”
Don’t forget family when giving back.
Life is all about balance. As I finish a week of Spring Break I reminded to make time to have fun. Today is the day I watch a movie, drive go carts, and eat a great dinner (Tara’s choice). Remember to not only give back to your community and your friends, but also to yourContinue reading “Don’t forget family when giving back.”

I am sure you have heard the saying that it’s not the big things that will break you, but instead all of the little things that add up. Well, today we are going to look at this from a positive outlook. What if you smiled more? What if you mailed the card? What if youContinue reading “Sometimes the small things are what matter the most.”
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… And I have also finished the card samples for Class next week… The invitations are out so let me know when you are coming (and ifContinue reading “Re-charge so you can do it again.”
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 itContinue reading “One little gesture can lead to friendship.”
Birthdays, celebrations, and memories.
It’s not about the day especially, but it is about making a memory. It’s about celebrating with that person and making them feel like they matter. That’s why we do what we do. As I sit here with a bucket of cards ready to go out I hope they matter because you do. This weekContinue reading “Birthdays, celebrations, and memories.”
Thank you for filling me up.
Sometimes you don’t even realize when you fill someone up, give back, or pay it forward. (It just depends on how you want to say it.) Well, I was filled to the brim last night. Tara, my daughter, had her concert last night (and first solo) and I was able to take off at 3:30,Continue reading “Thank you for filling me up.”
