I decided if I spent more time actually making cards, instead of posting about making cards and spending time reading all the craft forums and blogs -- I'd have plenty of time to be creative.<br /><br />Currently, I don't belong to any groups -- even though I really miss chatting with all the ladies originally from MMFY, then later The Shaker Box. RIP, Shaker Box. I haven't visited Splitcoast Stampers in months. I guess I'm just out of the loop. I can promise ya -- I've been making lots of cards! I don't need to look at any sites for inspiration -- I have SO many ideas it makes my head hurt.<br /><br />The blog needs a make-over. I'll be posting about the adventures of a 28 year old girl, who left her full-time job to go back to College.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-689459799490798942.post-12110367502271618522009-07-09T23:25:00.007-05:002009-07-09T23:52:34.121-05:00Penny & Windshield Wipers!I want to share this funny video of Penny, the most wonderful dog in the world. We've had Penny for about 5 months. She doesn't have any of those annoying little dog qualities - like barking.

My sweet boyfriend bought me some pink daisies and chocolates, even after I told him to NOT buy me anything. I went to lunch this afternoon with my folks - YUM! Chineese! After lunch, we went to Michael's -- where we found some new $1 wood stamps. Also picked up a 8x8 pack of Making Memories - Sabrina paper. It was made just for me -- PINK!<br /><br />The card above was one of the many cards I made for my co-workers to give to their spouses for V Day. I had several requests and got to make the cards with them in mind. The cute paper and heart embellishment are from the GREAT V-day swap from my girl, Jenn. I tell ya Jenn...I almost used up EVERYTHING! (Background on the card is a dark purple..not black)<br /><br />Still on the search for a rescue weimaraner. We've submitted the application and are waiting to be approved before they will start matching us up with dogs.

Lucy, our sweet family dog, passed away almost 2 years ago and I think my folks are finally ready to get another dog. I fell in love with one adorable girl, Junie Moon. She was really loving and laid back. While I was petting her, she decided to just go ahead and stretch ALL the way out on the entrance to the store on a busy, Saturday afternoon.
