Especially during this extended period of social distancing we are experiencing with the COVID pandemic. Who would have believed we’d still be doing this almost 8 months later? I’ve been working on feel good cards to send out to friends I haven’t been able to get together with for a while. Today’s card was CASEd […]
Stampin' Up! Bundles
Gone to the dogs with FMS453 sketch
Saturday evening we were supposed to spend the evening with dear friends at their Galveston Bay house for dinner. Friday night I texted to make sure all would be well with a possible hurricane heading into southeast coast of Texas. They said everything should be okay, but they’d let us know Saturday morning. Saturday morning […]

I started out with my new Swirly Snowflakes thinlits dies to create a card. I tried die cutting silver foil paper, white, and even the Night of Navy […]
Peace on Earth, to everyone today
Yesterday I shared my card I made using the “Deck the Halls” stamp from the new Carols of Christmas stamp set. Today I’m sharing the card I made using the other large stamp, “Peace on Earth.” This greeting seems an appropriate one for the past month of natural (and manmade) disasters that have happened around the […]
Deck the Halls…Carols of Christmas to come!
It was a whirlwind week for us. My dear hubby and I tend to spend a lot of time at home immersed in our hobbies. His is reading research articles for the two journals he manages…yes, that’s a hobby for him since he loves it! Mine is paper crafting, of course! It’s been a while […]
Babies, babies and quilts for babies!
Many years ago (I won’t admit how long ago) I made a baby quilt for each of my new nieces and nephews when they were born. I know some of them still have them and keep them safely tucked away as a sweet memory of growing up. Sad to say, the grand nieces and nephews […]
