April 2014

Revamping my blog to show a few new things I have been working on and to showcase some of the things I will be having for sale. Hard to believe we are 3 months into 2014 already.
I am still struggling with the sudden and unexpected loss of my Mom in August. It's only been 7 months but some days it feels like it has been forever and other days it feels like it was just yesterday.
I miss her all the time but it's strange what little things I remember the most, like Friday at work I saw a lady getting crossword puzzle books, just like my Mom used to all the time, almost burst into tears. Especially now when I have completed so many new craft projects, the person I always showed them too first was Mom, and now she's not here for me to show them too. I just started making things again last month...up until then, the last thing I had made was all the thank you cards for people that were very kind to my family the week we lost Mom.
And shortly after I got my Dad's stuff packed from the house and taken care of, I moved back to BC, closer to the rest of my family. So many changes is what really is a short amount of time, I think some days I'm coping okay, other days.....not so much.
But it's time to get creating again and taking pictures and learning to draw maybe? and setting my an etsy shop and lots of other things :)

Till next time,

Is it really almost the middle of July?!

I can't believe how the time has flown by!! Hosted my second class....the Butterfly Wings one and had 3 newbies come to this one.  It was wonderful and it was cool to see them learning new things and even putting their own flair on their projects!! The next class will be posted tonight or tomorrow...very excited for this one too.

For right now though I'd just like to share a birthday card I made for a very dear friend for his birthday, which we celebrated the day the family got back from England!!

For this simple but cute and okay for a man card I used some of the new "In Colors". I used Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit and Basic Grey. I ran the strips of cs through my big Shot with the new Chevron embossing folder then cut them and glued them on. And I used the brand new "Happy Hour" stamp set! Love this set..so much you can do with it!

Enjoy the sunshine and Happy Stampede Calgary!!
