I am know to be long winded with my posts LOL (like I have to tell you). But being that I really don't have very much time today I am going to do my best to keep this short and sweet : )<br />
<br />
Update:<br />
<br />
I am doing very well! I am strong and healthy as are my family members : ) Praise the Lord!! I hope you can report the same!<br />
<br />
I am working full time - full time now not just kinda of full time. It wasn't meant to go this way but I am blessed to be able to help my husband and sons and so during this season of life. The work is tedious but rewarding.<br />
<br />
In my spare time I have finished a couple of paintings like this one : )<br />

...and continued to make cards. My father and step mother are in quarantine which is breaking our hearts! because, especially my father, is very confused as to why he cant see his wife or children! : ( My dad is in a nursing home - separated from his wife. My step mom is in an assisted living facility. Sigh<br />
<br />
I still have a few shut ins besides my parents that I send weekly cards to so my card making continues to be an important part of my month. Right now I am making my cards up a month ahead of time. I love making cards!! and blogging!! and visiting my friends blogs but there are simply not enough hours in my day any longer. Whew!<br />
<br />
I'm very sorry about the poor quality of my photographs. The pictures of my painting and the quilt were taken with my phone ... bad idea! and I'm scratching my head as to why the card picture looks so grainy and over saturated. My monitor may be the culprit but I haven't been able to get the "IT department" to look at it! LOL<br />
<br />
Thant is it for me : ) I am trying to find time to pop in and visit all of you now and then and I appreciate YOU taking time out of your day to pop in to see me!! : )<br />
<br />
I am praying that the trial we are all experiencing is leading you to the Only One who can offer peace and comfort and hope and not just for now but for eternity... Jesus Christ. : )<br />

Hello friends : ) I have a quick post for you today because I didn't want to fail to wish my Blogland friends a SWEET day!!<br />
<br />
I have been super busy lately and it isn't all just wrestling with my new computer, which seems to block my normal routines every time I turn around! eeek!!. I began helping out in our family business for a couple of hours each day back in November but in February it sort of catapulted into full time (+) . I enjoy the work and love helping my husband and sons but it has not left much time for anything else... including housework! LOL I wonder how I ever did it when I worked full time!!.... oh yeah it was 24 years ago heehee .... that might have had something to do with it!<br />
<br />
Progress has inched along on my great grandson's quilt and my newest watercolor painting when I have found free time before I fall into bed at night but I am happy and healthy and blessed! : ) I will share some progress photos soon.<br />
<br />
I will be spending more time in my crafty space next week so I will be posting and visiting more - I promise : )<br />

Hello friends : )<br />
<br />
I am so excited that I have a new computer! It has not been without some frustrations, however. I actually hate changes! but like it or not it was time and I'm embracing it!! : ) The good news is that with this upgrade I am finally able to visit many web sites that had stopped letting me in because my computer was too old. This new machine is MUCH faster, never just randomly shuts down and is blissfully QUIET! : ) I am slowly getting used to the changes and thanking the Lord for my wonderful, brilliant and incredibly patient husband, Bob : )<br />
<br />
I have not been making cards much lately as I have been working on a baby quilt for my soon-to-arrive Great Grandson!! and studying on-line water color tutorials : ) I did make this card for my husband's "baby" sister who turned 60 today so I thought I would share : )<br />

I have never actually gone to a spa! LOL am I really missing something? Maybe I need to try it. I think I may be too cheap because I think of the cost of a Spa Day and then weigh that against buying paper crafting supplies and so here I sit with clogged pores and ooodles of nifty stamps and dies!! LOL<br />

I have been doing a fair amount of relaxing lately though. I have been working hard on my watercolor classes. These two pictures were difficult for me. I won't try and point out all the problems but I will tell you the farther away you get the better each picture looks.... kind of like my complexion! LOL<br />

I have some silly cards for you today that I had a lot of fun creating. <br />
<br />
My great nephew Caleb is turning 3 next week. When I was pondering a design for his card I decided I wanted to make a card with a little movement. I think "interactive" cards are really neat for little kids (and big kids too!) so I decided to play with some of my Black Friday" finds.<br />
<br />

Here is what happens when you lift the flap...<br />

<br />
The pajamas don't miraculously change color when you lift the flap! LOL but when I finished Caleb's card I liked it so much I made two more cards for two other youngsters on my birthday card list.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
For the flap closure I used a real super fine Velcro tape. I have not been able to find a link to the exact 3M tape I used but <b><a href="https://www.fastenation.com/velcror-brand-products/ultra-thin-profile-tape.html">HERE </a></b>is one that looks like it is the same. It is a really nice product because it is thin and has a very light hold - perfect for use on cards!!<br />

I have been enjoying lots of card making so far in 2020 so that means the year is off to a wonderful start for me!!<br />
<br />
I realized way too late in 2019 that I failed to keep up on my Christmas card making and have challenged myself not to leave those cards to be crammed into my December schedule again this year. The best way for me to accomplish my goal is to join Loll's Christmas card challenge as often as I can! You can join too - there is plenty of time. See her newest challenge <b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><a href="https://caschristmascardchallenge.blogspot.com/2020/01/cas-christmas-january-2020-challenge.html">HERE</a></span></b>.<br />

My card was quick and easy! I used one of my favorite Make It Market kits from Papertrey Ink, Wonderland. I can't say for sure but as best I can tell it is no longer available from PTI but <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/index.php?p=wonderland">HERE</a> is a link that I found. I hope it helps.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I used a pre-printed tag from the kit and added a skater that I stamped in black ink and attached to the "rink" using double stick foam tape. This was added to my white card stock which had been embossed with "Falling Snow" by Stampin Up, which also appears to be discontinued.<br />

One of my goals for 2020 is to join more Challenges and so I am here to share my take on one of Blogland's favorite challenges. The challenge at <b><a href="https://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/2020/01/the-card-concept-hol19-fav-card-or.html">The Card Concept </a></b>is to share our favorite card from 2019. I am sure I am not alone in having a difficult time finding just one card to share so... being the <strike>rebellious</strike> individualistic gal that I am I have TWO cards to share!! : ) I hope you won't mind.<br />

I have included an "up-close" shot of the front of the card in hopes you will be able to see the sweet detail in this delicate die more easily. Even though it has fine detail it cut like butter making these really fast and simple cards.<br />

I have a twofer for you today. I think you can get a glimpse of the Wink of Stella that highlights these beautiful roses but they are so pretty they don't need anything to make them better than they already are : )<br />

<br />
And on this card, as you can see, I used just part of the same sentiment. I love the fonts on both the stamp and the die. I think that - together they are super sweet!<br />

I have been really really enjoying all the flowers I have seen in Blogland lately thanks the the talented folks who bring us <b><a href="http://theflowerchallenge.blogspot.com/2019/12/the-flower-challenge-39-use-die.html">"Flower Challenge" which you can find HERE</a></b>. They are calling for the use of a die on your card. I hope you will join me in the gallery... it'll warm your heart! and remind you winter won't last forever.<br />

<br />
I finished all my Christmas cards finally! I am reminded of the value of making Christmas cards throughout the year as opposed to waiting to do most of them in December. I know I would still want to save some for December but making "onsies and twosies" is more fun than twelvesies!! ya know?<br />

I decided to join the <a href="http://timeoutchallenges.blogspot.com/2019/12/challenge-150-merry-cheerful.html">Time Out challenge - "Merry & Cheerful"</a> with two of my cards that surely have a Merry & Cheerful theme! I love challenges even though I have not joined very many this year! I don't know if it is a "resolution" but I sure am going to try to joining more challenges in the coming year. : ) There is still time - I hope to see you in the Time Out gallery this week.<br />

I wish you could see the coating of Wink of Stella covering the little snow penguin! the fact that it doesn't photograph well is the ONLY bad think about WOS. : ) The blue clouds don't show up either but if you strain you can picture them there. : )<br />

Here is an old favorite snowman stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps and a couple new favorite products from Penny Black. Sadly when I searched for the link to this stamp set I couldn't find it in the Peachy Keen shop but here is a link to <b><a href="https://www.peachykeenstamps.com/">their shop</a></b> anyway just in case you want to contact them to see if they could get it for you.<br />
<br />
Thanks a bunch for stopping by. I hope you feel more Merry & Cheerful than you did before you arrived! Have a wonderful day.<br />

Hello dear friends : ) I hope that you are happy and healthy and feeling "in the pink"!! : ) It took much longer than I would have thought to recover from the bug my husband and I got. I have been miserable! and because of that I have gotten WAY behind in my card posting and blogging BUT!! here I am feeling 100% better and ready to play!!!<br />

I forgot to photograph the inside of the card and it is too late now because last night I addressed my cards to go in the mail today! LOL The inside sentiment says: "Merry & Bright" from Penny Black's <a href="https://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/frosty-hello?pp=40&sort_selection=recommended">Frosty Hello #30-649 </a>First Snow release.<br />

This year I had 69 cards to create for Christmas! gulp!! I have just 12 left to go. I am only making two or three of each design this year rather than the "mass producing" I normally do. I like this way MUCH better. I have selected tons of NBUS supplies for my cards - pairing supplies from different companies up with no rhyme or reason and it has been really fun! Like this sweet card that combines some new Penny Black with some old Penny Black - highlighted by a bran new Black Friday deal : ) from Poppystamps. <br />
<br />
Yesterday Penny Black's newest release hit the online store and it is SWEET!! I had the pleasure of getting an advanced shipment of some of the product from this release and will be working with it this weekend!! I'm pretty excited to show off my ideas but I hate for you to have to wait for me!! Please head over to the <b><a href="https://shop.pennyblackinc.com/c/new">Penny Black blog online store HERE</a></b> for a look at the entire new release and for some fabulous inspiration go to the<b><a href="https://pennyblackinc.wordpress.com/"> Penny Black Blog HERE</a></b><br />
<br />
Off I go to the Post Office to buy some stamps and get my first batch of cards in the mail. Whatever you are doing I hope you are doing it in rest and joy and excellent health.<br />
<br />
Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!<br />

I have to say this has not been the best week I have ever had... Our car broke down on Sunday, our dryer and my computer broke down on Monday, my husband got sick on Tuesday and because he shares EVERYTHING with me I got sick on Wednesday!!! I'm counting the minutes until I can crawl back in to bed LOL <br />
<br />
Before I do that, though, I wanted to thank you all for your incredible comments on my bird painting in my last post. I feel a little guilty as I read them because I am certainly NOT a gifted artist!! I followed an on-line tutorial to paint that bird. I am positive any one of you could paint the same bird and do it better!! I am very new to watercolor painting, I can not draw so the picture was first traced on to my paper from the original artists sketch using graphite paper. The original artist, Louise De Masi, provides a step by step tutorial of how to paint this bird. Her video is clear and she tells you what colors to mix and everything!!<br />
<br />
Thank you for being so sweet but I don't deserve all this praise : ) Give it a try yourself and share your painting with all of us. : ) Again, you can find <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPN-_Tr5Yv4">Louise DeMasi through You Tube</a> and then she will direct you to her Patreon site where for $6.00 per month you can watch all her amazing tutorials.<br />

Really?? December is here? I can barely believe it! Just remember how fast time is zipping by when you are freezing under a blanket of snow!! : ) It will be sunshine and flowers before you know it right?? Well until then let's play some more with Penny Black's "First Snow" release available in the <a href="https://shop.pennyblackinc.com/c/new">on-line store HERE.</a><br />
<br />
My card today was created using First Snow products with a slight twist. I have a niece and a great nephew who celebrate their birthdays on Christmas Eve so I pulled out my trusty Misti and made an easy modification : )<br />

I have been a bit MIA again. I don't know how it happens but time just whooshes by even when I'm not ready! I had a wonderful visit with my family - although it was way too short!! We did, in fact, spend a great deal of time painting - also sightseeing, playing games, laughing hysterically and eating really really good Keto food!!. My sister, Susan, is a very talented painter and is a wonderful teacher to boot so I really learned a lot!! Susan subscribes monthly Louise De Masi's water color classes on Patreon. I had never heard of Patreon but I now subscribe too!! I will include a link to <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdgTFVUZq1Y">Louise's You Tube channel</a></b> where she introduces a Hydrangea we painted and ultimately directs you to Patreon for anyone interested. <br />
<br />
Here is my only finished painting from our visit but I'm in progress on another painting of a Rose that I hope turns out 1/2 as good as my sister's.<br />

<br />
This is called a Fairy Wren : ) I won't point out the things I hate about my painting but overall I really enjoyed painting this bird especially with my sister and niece painting beside me!! : ) To give you some perspective on the size of the painting - the bird from it's long toe to top of his feathers is 9".<br />
<br />
That is it for me : ) before I go here is a "boy version" of my COOL birthday card. <br />

Not all the sentiments from Penny Black's First Snow release have to be limited to winter themed cards. I used this sentiment from <a href="https://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/bundled-buddies?pp=40&sort_selection=recommended">Bundled Buddies #30-644</a> on this floral card. But where are the flowers from?...<br />
<br />
I painted them freehand! heehee I found this tutorial on You Tube entitled, by the artist, <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xufWkmvzgA">"The Easiest Flowers I've Ever Painted" You can see the video HERE.</a></b> These two cards were my first attempt trying this technique. She makes it look easier than I found it to be but it really is a fun technique!!<br />

I wanted to share a card I created for my step Mom who is turning 96 next week. She is strong and healthy in body and mind.<br />
<br />
She used to be an avid Gardner and the love of her life, my Dad, actually loves crows!.... I know it, LOL go figure. I can't say why he does but my dad has a small crow collection. She calls him her "old crow". I know they will both get a kick out of this card.<br />

A little song runs through my head when I see this sweet little gift giver...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"if you're happy and you know it then your face will surely show it..." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Who will look happier? the gift giver or the recipient? It is so much fun to work with such sweet products!!<br />

I am loving the First Snow release! This card was created using components of some new product that may not necessarily be considered the "main" feature in the set. Here is what I mean....<br />

This is the new <a href="https://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/crystal-frames?pp=40&sort_selection=recommended">Crystal Frames die #51-583</a>. This die set comes with six individual dies. The backdrop for the itty bitty penguins on my card is found in the center piece. Here is a close up so you can see the sweet detail, that is on the four corners of this die, better.<br />

The <a href="https://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/cozy-cuteness?pp=40&sort_selection=recommended">Cozy Cuteness stamp set, #30-636</a> has two adorable "main" images and two sentiments but the darling little penguin was actually the "GOTTA HAVE IT!" factor for me : ) The penguin stamp is just about 1 square inch of adorable!!<br />
