It's the 4th of July!!!

I haven't written in a little while.  Things (life) has been a challenge!  So much so I won't even go into it.  It's all about moving forward, always.  I strive for it to be this way.  I am making my sista's 50th birthday card.  The one I started did not quite do it for me so I started another one.  I am also making my son a thank you card to be sent to a very lovely woman who is helping him out with his dog. 

I sometimes have to wait till my hands are in working order.  That is when I watch videos and read different articles in order to learn new techniques and color combos!  This is part of creating that I enjoy very much.  A couple of my favorites are Miss Dawn @ (Dawn 5377) ,  Mary @ Cardz TV ,  and Valita @ Valita's Designs and Fresh Folds .  There are a few more regulars, but these, I watch all the time!!!

I give so so so much credit to the women who are sharing all their talents on their blogs, videos, and the web in general.  They raise a family and also clean the house.  They cook and drive the kids everywhere.  And on top of all the doctor's and dentist's appts, they still manage to crop/make cards and join the blog hops!!!  I can barely follow them much less contribute!  So my hats off to all the creative women of the world!!

Ok, I am now going to make a few cards whilst it seems to be a good time.  If sure beats waiting for this weather to lighten up a rain a little more that a little!!!  I'm hot and whinny!!  Stay cool and look in amazement at the world!

Just another ....... Wednesday!

Well the trash got out bright and early this morning and I am wondering if on the Holiday week after if the garbage is going to pick up on their regular day.Ahh ..... if that was my only worry! Right?

Well I have been vegan for about 3 weeks now and I really don't feel any different yet.  I am still swollen, especially in my tummy area.  Although now that I think about it the swelling in my legs have gone done quite a bit.  Maybe it's just moving! lol  Has anyone (other than a salesperson) used that Nopalea? Well I took a moment to "google" this and here is what I found.  Nopalea - true or scam?

I made a couple of cards last night  Here's a peek!

Enjoy this beautiful day and smile! Someone needs it today and you can give it to them!!

Mine is done using a Cricut for the web, a printer for the saying, and bags that I have been saving forever, they came from hams and onions and such.
