Good intentions....

I never got to make my Holiday Cards this year...this simple card was what I had planned to send but never did. I like the idea of Happy New Year cards instead, since time management is an issue for me. ;^)

Festival of Trees...

Click to enlarge photo and notice all the handmade ornaments and beautiful tree skirt!


If you remember a few posts ago, I was involved in a project at the Sr. Center where I teach my classes. A group of us...Dawn, Margie, Eileen, Kay Rz, Mary and Lois, all spend time one day creating the ornaments. We did a little creating on our own, because one day just wasn't enough time...can you believe it?? The director of the Center, Linda, made the beautiful tree skirt to complete out little tree (only 30" tall). As a fundraiser, the Center had a raffle for the tree. They collected $100!!!
Thanks to our photographer, Dawn, for the photo...which I not-so-creatively edited to highlight the tree...

2008

I just had post a comparison of my children's photos. I can't believe how they've grown!!! Where have the years gone? The top phot0 was taken at the Holidays, 14 yrs ago and the next photo was just recently...as you may remember the post from Homecoming. My DS wasn't even walking yet and now he looks forward to driving. My DD will be graduating this Spring...OMGosh!

Sr. Center Cards...

These are 3 of the 4 cards I made for my Sr. Center in November. I didn't post the 4th card because some of you may get it in the mail...it was quick and easy to mass produce, which I need at this point. Don't you love how we used the Horizontal Slot punch to turn grass into Cattails on the green card??? I do! I saw this done at my upline's meeting. My sideline had framed this design and another in a double frame...it was so nice, I just had to CASE.
