cards, cards & more cards

Well it's only been a few days since I last posted and as you can see I've been very busy! There was a 2-3 day break while we had houseguests, but as soon as they were out the door I was pulling out my supplies again! Alot of these cards are ones I've never made before so it's always fun, but very time consuming figuring out all the right measurements etc. It's all worth it in the end though...I currently have 2 binders filled with pictures of the cards and then all the needed paper & measurements...makes it easy for me to just throw something together if I need too. I also keeps me from getting bored, just making the same cards all the time.

Mercedes had asked if she could give her teacher some of my cards as a thank you gift and I said that would be fine, she could pick out 10 cards to give her...well she's getting 12 regular cards and 20 gift tags cause Mercedes just knew that Mrs. V would love them ALL!! I couldn't say no either especially when she then went and spent an hour making Mrs. V a necklace all by herself. Apparently according to Mercedes Mrs. V had said that she loved the cards she got for Christmas so we just had to give her more! Oh well, good thing I had a bunch in stock!

As for the dr. and his order...a few days ago his wife called and added another 10 cards to their total! So far I have 19 made, so I'm hoping to have this finished and off my desk by next week.

Speaking of next week...July 1 is my quit smoking date! I'm a little nervous, but feeling good about the preparations that I've made. I've got Brad and Mercedes outta the house for the first 2 days at least, stocked up on sunflower seeds today, taking my medication and have the patch up in the cupboard just waiting to be put to use. Besides if I quit smoking, think of all the extra scrappy supplies I'll be able to buy!!

OK enough babbling, here's the latest work...
