Altered cards!

Hello!!  I've had no time to play - working and sleeping occupy my 24 hours each day!  But, it's embarassing how long I've let it go since receiving gifts and I needed thank you notes!  This started out as an inexpensive pack of thank you notes I found at the local office supply store.  I added the band-of-bling, the array of hearts, and the adorable owl (popped up)!  It was SUPER quick to upgrade these cards!  

My "big" weekend is nearly here.  Sunday is the Valentine card making workshop.  I've been preparing like crazy and I do believe I'm ready to roll!  I'm getting excited now - and thinking about things like beverages and snacks!  That's a good sign!  I know you're all still being wonderfully creative - 'cause I've been drooling over your art! 

Hugs!

Sympathy cards

I know it happens, but it seems cruel somehow to lose someone during the holidays.  Just when the world around you is building up a frenzy of parties and gift exchanging, feasts, music and joy - there you are, standing alone.  We have learned of several such losses recently.  I lifted this design from my friend Cibele Glazer on this post.  I've kept it for awhile - and I used different stamps but the basic design is the same.  Thanks Cibele for a lovely card. 

I returned to work this week - half-days.  It has been exciting, and exhausting!  I love being at work, but I don't really like the alarm clock going off in the morning (I was spoiled!).  I guess I'll get used to it again.  LOL

Hope your weekend is wonderful!
Hugs!!
