Sorry haven't posted in a while, took some time to get caught up when I got back. Will start posting some cards today from a monthly swap I am in and from a one card swap I do at big ideas from a little girl blog, Teri Suzuki. Have to start with 2 cards , they are ones my mom did so they will have to be first, will post the rest the next few days.

the first card I made today for one of my neighbors, she has been diagnosed with breat cancer and getting chemo 3 times a week and not feeling too well, she has asked if I could make her some cards so starting tomorrow making her one a week. she really loves vintage style and so do I so the stamp with the big bouquet seemed perfect

HOME STRETCH

Last 4 days here in Cincinnati! Went to the aquarium in Newport,Ky yesterday and Cincinnati Art Museum today. Both were outstanding. Also went to a place called Stamp Your Art Out as they were having 20 % off the whole store today because of the super bowl. The place was packed, I liked the selection of things there. Can't wait to get home this coming weekend and work on cards, really miss it. Last test tomorrow and then leaving early thursday morning for home. yay!!!!!
