Cards, cards and more cards...

I've been a little slack lately on keeping up with my blog, but I'm hoping to do better. I have been busy making lots of cards. Mercedes has 1 teacher and 4 teaching assistants, so I'm giving them all some handmade cards as an end of year gift. My mom is going to make me some little bags out of a sheer fabric, that the cards will fit in perfectly. I made some 3"x3" thank you cards to attach to each bag, and then I will give them all 5-7 cards with envelopes.

I've also started making a bunch of thank you cards for my grandma. I know that she wants to thank everyone that contributed to the album I made her, and she just can't afford to make 20 long distance calls, so I'm making a whole stack of cards for my brother to take out to her next week. I'm doing them as a surprise cause I know if I told her she would tell me not to make them, or to let her pay for them, but I'm just so grateful to have these opportunities to do things for her. She is the most generous person I know and it's nice to be able to be generous to her.

I haven't done any layouts for the last week or two, but I do have lots of pics to work on when I'm in the mood again. My oldest daughter graduated from high school so I want to do something special with some of her pics, and Brad managed to get a bunch of really good shots of Mercedes at her track meet last week, so I'm anxious to work on some of those pics too. I haven't bought any new paper for a couple months though, so I'm feeling the need to infuse my supplies with some new product...hopefully I can make it to the scrapbook store next week!

That's about it with me, but I'll try not to wait another 10 days before I post again.

Here are some of the cards I've made...
