A place to buy handmade cards and paper products infused with culture
Hello Everyone! Happy Monday! I always say that because let’s face it, Monday rarely gets any love from most. Friday is always the best day since it’s heading into the weekend. But I decided to turn that around and think of Mondays as a day of new opportunities. It’s the glass is half full approach to turn my mood into something more pleasant.
Despite that I am working on fumes today since Apollo woke me at 2:25 this morning saying he had a bad dream and I had to go sit with him until he began to doze. We don’t have that happen much now that the boys are older but when it does, my day ends up being a bit off. So pardon any typos today.
The photo above is a card I made for one of my crafty friends that has recently undergone some surgery. The bear is from an old Fiskars stamp set that I like and never used. I colored him up on some Copic XpressIt paper and cut him out and raised him with pop dots. I love his round belly. I hope he makes her feel happy when she sees it.
Anyway, today I plan on doing some more coloring and some other housekeeping for Belinda’s Crafts.
I hope you have a blessed day!
Hello! OMG…where have I been? Why haven’t I been posting? These are truly valid questions. Which deserve some sort of response. I am searching for a clever one but can’t find it. I get swallowed up from time to time with transition periods and this is one of those times. The boys have been back in school for a few weeks now and we are all trying to get in a good rhythm. I am trying to begin work on new products for my store but things seem to keep holding me back. Wait, is that leaves I see falling outside my window? NO!! Say it isn’t so. I love fall, shh.. it’s my favorite. I love the crisp air, the pretty leaves and let’s not forget the fall fashion (Love it!). But raking I do not like. So those leaves better stay put if they know what’s good for them. Oh and I digress.. Perhaps this is why I have not begun production for my shop. I keep getting in the way of myself. Procrastinating, procrastinating, and a little more.
However, today, you can see what I am working on in my craft room. Coloring. No it is not products for the store but I am revving my Mojo up with some practice with an online Copic Class. I find that sometimes I need a confidence booster to launch me into creating mode. So that is what I am doing. Today I am practicing coloring techniques and color combinations.
I wonder what you are doing today?
Hello! I thought I would give you a test today. The picture above was taken in my garden this morning. Can you guess what it is? I will reveal what it is on Wednesday.
