The World of Blogging.....

What to blog about???? Okay so I started this blog for crafting purposes,but now realize I don't really craft fast enough to post a pic everyday...which is why I started to feel like..... oh no  I can't blog today if I don't have  a pic to show.....so I am throwing that theory of blogging out the window.....I will now attempt to blog without a pic involved.... (of course when a pic is available you will see it)......maybe just something I read about...or a vid I watched...a new technique....whatever makes me smile...and look no pic with this blog........and I'm smiling      Nancy

Where does the time go........

It's been awhile since I have posted. Kids are back in school and the days are filled with keeping up with house cleaning and getting the house organized........theflylady.net has been a big help.....the site helps to get you organized and to stay that way with a smile and a giggle. Well I'm still smiling anyway......Nancy

Still Summer?

It is still summer correct? A few flowers that I made.This was my first try at these flowers and really liked making them. I find myself to be flower challenged,when it comes to making them. I will post a few more of my attempts at flower crafting in the next few days.
Thanks to all for reading and following.

It Never Ends...

Organizing is a constant battle for me as well as for lots of you. It seems that I organize before I start every new project. I try so hard to put things back where they belong only to realize that I now have about 12 inches of space to work at!!  A complete monthly redo of my limited scrap space  sounds great but...... Help!!!!! If you have any suggestions please leave them in the comments below...thanks

My love/hate relationship with card making...

Let me start by saying that I do really enjoy/love making cards...ok here comes the but.....what people do  with the card after reading it and hopefully ooohhhing and aaahhhing over it....THEY THROW IT AWAY! Ok fine I don't expect people to keep them forever. Possibly recycle them...if suitable frame the card...just the thought of my little work of heart ending up in the trash....leaves me almost speechless.

To hopefully get people to keep the cards that I make I have been making more and more easel cards that can actually be displayed for awhile until it eventually...I'm sure ends up being ....well you know what I mean.
