fresh start!

ok. i've decided that i will start holding classes! people always tell me how hard cardmaking and scrapbooking must be, and that they could never do it themselves. and i always tell them that if someone like me can do it, then they surely can!

and what i mean by "someone like me" is that i'm sick. i have partial paralysis, due to my siezures/mini strokes, muscle atrophy (stiffening of the muscles) so it's hard for me to do those things that require fine motor skills, and more than any of that - the fact that i am not one of those crafty, creative types! at all! i am color challenged too!

like i said. if i can do it, then you can do it too!

so with that said, i'm going to start having classes or workshops (i like that term better!), well get togethers really, where we'll make cute projects, cards, and scrapbook pages, learn new things, eat, and enjoy each others company. i've joined a company called stampin up! so i could get the discount on their fantabulous products, so i will be primarily featuring their stuff. i LOVE it!!

i'm going to put up my schedule here on my blog at some point - something else about blogging that i've got to figure out, lol! so keep your eyes open for it. meanwhile, here are a few cards i did earlier this week. enjoy!

be well :)

didn't want to do it





hey y'all! how's your summer going? i just got back from 'vacation' and i'm exhausted - but yet rejuvenated! determined. like i said in a recent post, i've decided to get my bum in gear and get back to cardmaking, scrapbooking, and papercrafting!

this is a thank you card i made for ladybugs second grade teacher, whom we just ADORED! ladybug starts 3rd grade in august so we'll miss her - though we'll see her every day. anyway, i think this was for teacher appreciation day?? i fell in major love with this card and didn't want to give it away. that ever happen to you? if so, what do you do about it?

be well :)
