 Hello All,

Hubs and I bought a home in Ohio, and moved from Maryland once we sold the old home and packed up. It was a bit of a rush, the house sold and we had 2 weeks to skedaddle on our way.

We gave away a lot of our household items, dumped some and donated lots.  I knew I'd want new stuff for the new place.

So upon arriving in Ohio we had to wait a week for our stuff to arrive. We used PODS, and they only deliver and pick up one day a week in our area of Ohio.  We unpacked some, bought lots including appliances.  We had had the house painted and re-carpeted while we were in Maryland winding things up there.

We still have to find living room furniture, and of course my craft room.  I need help moving the boxes and had to put it on hold while hubs dealt with business stuff for the month of March.  So I hope now we can get a move on with the crafty space.  

I had hoped to get our Easter cards, but I don't see it happening at this point.  So we should all be up-to-date.

I leave you with a pic of  my crafty mess.

Hopefully I'll be back at creating and blogging before the next month rolls around.

 WOW, 2025 already. 

I haven't made any cards until recently...and those are cards made from a SU kit, it was easy and gave me some fun.  Everything is in the kit, ink, block, stamp, cards, embellishments , glue dots, foam pieces, and instructions.

 

I am and have been in process of packing up my crafty space,along with traveling quite a bit over the last several months.  More on that later.  I hope it all settles out next month and I can set up my new crafty space and get back in the swing of it. 

As I was packing up things I had to go through all the hand made cards sent to me over the years. I kept a few from each of my crafty friends and have decided to recycle the card fronts of other loved cards to share their loveliness with someone else.  I have written the name of the original sender on the back...so hopefully I won't send one back to its maker. LOL.

 I had a conundrum on scoring card bases...my score boards are packed up.  So I finally found a hard piece of paper board (thanks to the SU card kit)  I measured to find where to score and used a ruler to keep it straight. Works beautifully. No more cracking folds. I use 110lb card for my bases.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

           I hope to turn all these lovely card fronts into cards and share them. I so very much miss this hobby and its been months since I had some crafty fun...even if its just a bit of gluing.

That is a shoebox full of card fronts.  

Wish me luck, and thanks for stopping by.
