Thank you

Sometimes we all need a little boost and I thank you for that. Your comments lifted me up and made me know I'm not alone. Something that's in your face on TV and online every single day just wears you out. I've read several books, stayed off daytime TV and off the internet for a while and I can tell you it makes a difference. I can't change the weather but I can stay in and make cards so that's a bonus for bad weather.

I have a few more Valentines to post even though I'm behind. This is a Unity stamp I got this year and it is so sweet. Very simple card but with heartfelt love.

I've decided I don't want kids. I'm telling them tonight at dinner.

Be kind to one another.

An unintended break

I wish it wasn't so, but I'm tired. Maybe starting to feel my age or maybe the state of the world. I wish it didn't bother me but it does. Day after day, it drags me down. It's been so cold and now it's so gray. Rain every day until next Tuesday. Fog, chilly days. I'm tired. I want to make cards, I bought some new products that just sit there. Everything seems like so much work. I make myself do one big thing a day and sometimes that's all I can do. I sleep well and that's a blessing.

This card was made for a friend I made through stamping. I value all of you so much. This bouquet of flowers was sent to me by another blogging friend and I love it so much. She sent a hand full so you will see them again. I ran vellum through an embossing folder and added a scalloped frame.

Know the difference between humans and animals? Animals would never let the dumbest one lead the pack.

Be kind to one another.

It's 49 degrees

I am beside myself today. The sun is out and it's 49 right now. Of course there is still snow piled everywhere but it will melt soon. 

Thought I'd better post a Valentine since it's almost here. This is a card made with a slatted heart die on white c/s over a red cardbase. Nothing says love like a heart and I heart all of you, my sweet blog friends.

Due to inflation you can now eat food that has been on the floor for up to 7.3 seconds.

Be kind to one another.

Still staying in

Since I'm still staying inside that means my driveway is slick again from icy snow pellets that fell again. That means I am not mailing anything out right now since I can't get to the mailbox. No bills coming in. It is supposed to warm up after this weekend and I can't wait. Groceries, haircut, fast food!

I made this card using a fold I saw on Pinterest. I used Paper Rose paper that I bought when I was in my frenzy buying spree. I don't know what greeting I will use so that is to be chosen when I use the card. I left white space for it. 

I just discovered my electric toothbrush isn't waterproof. I was shocked!

Be kind to one another.

Brrr

I hope everyone is safe from the snow and ice storms across the county. This has been brutal. We have eleven inches of snow and a wind chill this morning of -20. Daisy is not a big fan.

Using a comment from my previous post from my friend, Loll, I decided to start by CASEing and made a card copied from Bette. I changed the paper and where the greeting is but used the same die set from Altenew. I didn't need the alcohol but did have a snack first.

I'm often mistaken for an adult because of my age.

Be kind to one another.

Still trying to get mojo. Feel free to use too.

I'm coming back to crafting but it's so slow and I don't know why. I'm going to take a page from Darnell's blog when she needed inspiration and created I.D.E.A.S. You've all probably heard of CASE, copy and share everything and I decided to use those letters to get me going.  Please feel free to use this too as your inspiration.

C - Choose cardstock and colors

A - Alcohol inks or markers or if it's a bad day, just plain alcohol for me

S - Snacks, I must be fortified. This would be a good time to choose a Stamp too.

E - Eat snack and Emboss the aforementioned cardstock

If there are five weeks in a month just relax. We've been making cards all month.

WARNING: All those snacks and alcohol may cause weight gain

See you soon. I'm off to gather all the items I need to get started.

Be kind to one another.

Go IU

Tonight is the big football game with the University of Miami and Indiana University. I will be perched on the couch at six pm. ready to go. I hope it is a good game since both teams are so good.

My granddaughter's boyfriend came with her Saturday and he is our family's computer guru. He sorted out so many things for me and I can now load pictures from my phone into the computer. He was also able to load most of my stuff from the computer to the Ipad and showed me how to get it. That's not saying I'll remember everything he showed me but I can now facetime and show him the issue.

My card today is inspired by a card my friend, Loll, posted on December 17th. It took my breath away when I saw it. She also posted the video she saw by Pete Hughes. I used the same colors as she and Pete did for my moon.

A pun has not completely matured until it is full groan.

Be kind to one another.
