P.S.  I wanted to thank the consultants who inspired me in these cards.  Paige Dolecki designed the last card and inspired the 1st one, while Jeannette Lynton and anothe CTMH Consultant "Amy" inspired the cute kids cards and Tracie Brown helped me with the black, red and beige card.  Thanks to them for the great ideas!

Valentine Card Open House

    Good Morning!  Brrrrr it's cold today!  But would a Valentine Card making event make it feel a little warmer?  I hope so because tommorrow and Saturday, I will be hosting my 3rd Annual Valentine Card Open house.  If you still need a Valentine card for your "sweetie" or a friend (or two), come on over and make one!  Each card you make would only be $1.00, with 4 designs to choose from, and all are easy and quick to complete. Here are the times I'll be "open":

Friday, Feb. 11, from 2:30-4:30 p.m. and from 7-9 p.m.

Saturday, Feb. 12, from 10am - Noon. 

     I hope one of those times will work for you.  No RSVP is necessary, just come on by.  NOTE:  I will be postng sample pictures by this evening so check back, ok?
    Making memories with you,

Don't miss "Felicity"

The new "Felicity" Collection is such a great paper pack!  You can make your projects using this set from frilly to simple, all the while making beautiful crafts that coordinate so well!  Here's a card and a recipe binder:

If you go to the special "National Papercrafting Month" (NPM) blog you will also get some tips and recipes for making projects!  Do you see the pretty flowers on the card above?  Go to the January 3 blog entry and you are given step-by-step instructions (with pictures!) on how to do it - paper piecing that's as easy as can be!  To see how to make the recipe binder go to the January 6th entry; there's lots more to view and learn at the blog which is updated every day.  Here's a picture of the kit, including the "D" size stamp set complete with the alphabet used for the projects in the pictures:

Making memories with you,

Happy New Year!

"So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom." - - - Psalm 90:12

The older I get the faster time seems to travel; does it seem that way to you?  As usual, the Bible has wisdom to impart if only we would read it!  I pray that 2010 may be a year where I take time for the important things and not waste it on the trivial things that seem to eat up my days.  Preserving my family's memories does matter and hopefully I can make better gains in that department in the coming year!  May your year be full of blessings and joy!
