October 2016 Newsletter

The Month is half over...

So...life happens. In my case, by back really has given me some real bad trouble lately. In effect sending this newsletter out now is a real labor of love ... ha. I do want you to keep in the loop. At the same time, my time at the computer has been cut to an almost absolute minimum. So please, if you have any questions - try to catch me on a chat, email or phone. I may not see it right away, but I will get back to you!

In the meantime - we keep turning out all kinds of fun thing! Last month I loved using our small little cards. I even took them with me when my husband I went on a cruise and left the cards for those who gave us service. In future, I will still use small cards to "Thank You" for those people who are around us. There are so many people on a daily basis, who help us. It is such a small thing, to try and brighten their day a bit. You never know, what a small little card might do for them.

The new idea book is here! The long wait is over! And we have a new Holiday Expressions book as well. Every month, we seem to add a bit more. Stay tuned and I will show you what I mean!



Enough of the bad stuff from me - For now, have a great month!

Hello and thank you for stopping by!

This is my first attempt on a blog - can you tell? I am sure you can. From what I have learned about blogs they are like an online journal and you are getting a peak into my soul ...

At this time I am trying to learn how to post my artwork with watermark and copyright and all that jazz -but I a, learning. My plan is to post my work and along with it I will explain what I used and how I made the project.

As we go along, I will also give you a peak into my life. I will share some pictures of my family, places we have been, places we have visited. So, please come back and visit often. Just know, that I am very new to this blogging thing! So, at this time - any help you can give me is highly appreciated in growing my skills in "blogging".

If you live close to me and you would like to join me in my craft place or one my crops please, check my calendar for any upcoming workshops!

A scrapbooker's quilting bee!
