Keep Blooming
Happy hump day! I am glad to be halfway done with this week and more than halfway through this month! Here's a sweet card from Simple Stories today. I thought it perfect for spring time, though it's almost starting to feel like summer around here....

Coffee card today
Happy Tuesday everyone. Thought I would share a card with one of my favorite topics today, COFFEE!! You all know I love coffee as a topic, lol. I took an awesome class at the convention to make coffee theme cards, it was from Brass and Bliss (a.k.a. Rubbernecker). We made coffee theme cards that were also gift card holders. What fun. I look forward to sharing those with you later.
It says, "You can't make everyone happy, You are not coffee." HA!Would you like to add beautiful Turkish lace to your cards? your journals? your crazy quilts? your slow stitch or Mixed Media creations? Drop by my store for some great combos or lace and trims. https://laceplacebyholley.etsy.com

You're my Type
Woo Hoo, it's time for the weekend. Happy Saturday everyone. I am in the process of buying some gifts for my friends overseas now. Any suggestions? It's so hard to find things here in Texas that they don't already have. For my overseas friends, what things would you like from the USA/Texas? I need ideas of what to take to Turkiye

Good day!
Happy Friday everyone! I am so excited for this weekend. I am just about five weeks from my trip so I am really starting to make a list of things that I need to get done before I go. I know it seems far away, but I really feel like I only have 10 days, (I.e. the weekend days), to get things done and ready. What's the next big event that you are getting ready for?
Here's another card using the technique from Stampalistic that I learned at the convention for taking 12 sheets of 6x6 paper and creating 8 cards in 30 minutes. What a fun class!

You're the Best!
I am sure everyone worldwide got to see photos of the Total Eclipse that happened yesterday. What an amazing event that they say will not happen again for a very long time. I am sharing this card today, some pretty flowers on a tiny mini card that I got a whole pack of for Christmas (Like 80 blank cards and envies). TOO cute that I took many of them with me to the convention to make.

Here's what is happening today
Sky gazers and the general public will soon be able to enjoy one of the most fascinating astronomical events there is: a total solar eclipse.
Eclipse of the Sun in North America--The uniqueness of this event lies in the projection of a shadow on the Earth, which occurs thanks to the Moon covering the Sun for a few moments, causing a brief period of darkness during the day. During this period, the Sun’s outer atmosphere, known as the solar corona, becomes visible, showing a slight flare around Earth’s natural satellite.
Areas located in the center of the Moon’s shadow when it hits the Earth will experience a total eclipse. The phenomenon will only be visible within a narrow path on the Earth’s surface. The total solar eclipse can only be seen in North America.
Where i live in Austin, TX happens to be in the path of totality so I will see a full eclipse. WOW.
Here's my card for the day, hmmm, wish I had some science themed cards to share....I mean, I did work for NASA....

Life is Beautiful
Here's a sweet and simple card using beautiful papers from Echo Park and a technique I learned in a class during the last convention. We were taught to make 8 cards using 12 papers from a 6x6 Pad of printed papers (from Echo Park, though I guess it could translate to other companies). It was a fun class. We completed the 8 cards in less than an hour. I would say we should also be adding some bling or buttons (or LACE) on this card to give it a little pizzazz

Hello Spring
Since we are a few days into Spring, I thought it was time for a Spring card. Here's a cutie from Simple Stories with a sweet bunny and everything. Makes me think of Easter which just passed this weekend. I hope you all had a wonderful time. Next week will mark a total solar eclipse where I live. I am in the path of totality which means we will see a TOTAL eclipse where I live. WOW, that should occur on April 8th. What a once in a lifetime event.

Crafting is my Therapy
So here's a sweet and simple card that I did using fun papers from Echo Park. I took a class during the convention that taught us to make 8 cards in 40 minutes using half a pack (12 sheets) of Echo Park pads. How fun is that? I loved the class. I went back to my hotel (after buying some echo park 6x6 paper pads for $2 and made 48 cards!!)

A little thank you card
Just two more school days in March! Woo Hoo. Then it's on to April. I wonder if that makes today --Payday. Hmmm. I guess a day early doesn't really matter but it is nice. Here's a pretty Thank You card that I used a while back and gave to one of my kiddos. She and her family gave me a lovely valentine. So I gave them a little thank you.
