I love getting cards in the mail, of any kind. I really hope the written word on pen and paper never ends. I’m all for technology, but email just doesn’t have the same personal touch. Here’s some samples of my Christmas cards this year. I made them special for each person or couple receiving them, to make…

First, I started out with my vanilla paper and newspaper print  in my Cricut, and chose the umbrella for a “shower” theme. Next, I posted the umbrellas on tags, and attached a personal message on…

There are many things that remind me of Kelsey. Roller King, choir, burritos…the list goes on and on. Kelsey and I have known each other probably before either of us could remember. Seems like just the other day I was sharing my special day with her, and now she’s about to share her own special…
