Facebook is surely a wonderful thing… I have reconnected with several pals from the past through this form of communication. One of whom had a birthday this past Monday. This brought about my First Facebook Complaint.
FB thoughtfully reminded me of the friend’s birthday; I depend on them for this information. They always let me know whose birthday is coming the next week. Of course, when they tell you on Sunday that a friend is having a birthday on Monday… uh, not so good, FB. Continue reading
This is what is considered a CAS card… meaning “Clean And Simple”. I don’t do a lot of them but I have a daughter, Megann (youngest of the three), who does not do “fussy” anything. She was the person I had in mind when I made this card.

A few years ago, a new family moved in next door to us right at Christmas. They came to our door to say “hello” and I handed them a plate full of Christmas cookies I had made. I never knew Christmas cookies could mean so much but I guess when you are moving at that time of year it is a little hard to hang on to the Christmas Spirit. Having a plateful of cookies to munch on while trying to put a new household together probably helped a bit. Continue reading
Well, maybe just a little because I can’t remember the rest of the words to that song title. Since making this card, that refrain has been running through my mind. I had to find out more so I googled it. Continue reading
My very sweet friend, Millie, lost her son to a long-term illness a few weeks ago. This was the card I made for her to express my sympathy for her loss.
We became friends when Millie, her daughter and son-in-law started coming to our Mah Jongg group at our local senior center some years ago. Continue reading
While at a recent Stamp and Paper Crafting Show, I found the loveliest pad of papers at a give-away price. I’m always on the lookout for pretty pastels and here was an entire 48 sheet Prima Collection called Pixie Glen for $5! I love it and I’ve used it for this card.
Only after I mentioned to my hubby that it was an odd size did I realize that it is European size paper which is about 8 1/4 inches by 11 5/8 inches instead of our usual 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches. Perhaps that explains the super low price. Whatever the reason may be, I felt like I had found the mother lode! Continue reading
My nephew, Tim Fay, is a dancer and is touring with the Harlem Globetrotters as a member of the half-time entertainment cast. Trying to get a birthday card to him has proven to be a real challenge for his mom. Continue reading
While I am sharing, I would like to show you a card my sister made while visiting with me. I can’t list all of the materials she used but I can tell you that she is working hard at learning to make cards and I will have another to share with you a little later. I think she is doing a great job! Continue reading
The colors for The Play Date Cafe Challenge were just too wonderful to resist. I love pastels above all else and even get kidded by my sisters because I wear pastel colors all year ’round. What can I say? They make me feel good!
After a week of having my sister, Megan, as a house guest and fellow craft enthusiast, I am ready to get some blogging done! I did have to put it off for a good bit of the weekend because there was a Stamp and Paper Craft Show in my area. What a ball my sister and I had!! Continue reading

I love the social whirl of connectivity with crafters on line and the generous abundance of shared information. The energy generated among fellow crafters is at my fingertips every day and I am truly excited to be part of it. I hope you will be excited by what I have to share with you!
