Hoping that three times is the charm!
You can tell it has been TOO long since I blogged when I write up a post and when I go to save it, it disappears, TWICE!
I decided to start blogging again, making no commitments to the number of times, other than it will be often than last year. I hope to not only blog about the crafts I am working on, but the trips we plan to take now that this is the first full year of our retirement.
As of this morning, a week has been book at Phillies Spring Training in Clearwater. We will be taking the Auto Train both ways this time and as before will be taking in three games, all in Clearwater. We hope to touch base with a friend of "the boy" aka my husband, who spends the winter in Florida.
Most of our June vacation is also booked as we plan to attend the Garden Train Convention in Nashville. We will be staying at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center which is the largest hotel and convention center under one roof in the country (7th in the world). We will be spending the week with my sister from Virginia and brother in law, which will be a lot of fun as well. My BIL is actually building a garden train in his back yard and just finished one that runs around the top of their family room. My sister was accepted to teach a Mini Scrapbook Workshop for woman at the event, so I will be there to help her! So proud of her!
Another reason I want to start blogging again is to share a new project I started the other day. How many of you pin items on Pinterest and then never do anything with them? Well my "Card Sketch Board" is packed to the gills with ideas, so I decided to try and commit to creating a card a day from this board. It has been a lot of fun the past few days, and I really make at least two of the same sketch each day. We all know that you can get two card bases out of a 8-1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock, so why not make two right away?
My goal is to use up some of the scraps and card bases I have laying around. This year my friend and I plan to try and find more businesses besides her office and a local gift shop, that will carry our cards to sell. Who doesn't want to buy a homemade card and to not have to spend upwards of $5.95?
So as I create cards from the sketches on Pinterest I have saved, I will share them with all of you in hopes of you pulling out your scraps and start creating. Remember, all cards can be changed for your needs by using different sayings. Have fun! Enjoy these samples😀
Your cards are always so pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I enjoy making them and sending them as well. Most people think they need to be complicated, but I rather send them as simple ones rather than buy from the stores at such high prices.
