Just a couple cards
Life around here has been so stressful lately that sometimes I think my head just may explode just from the pressure of it all, but luckily I have been able to find some peace and comfort when I am able to sit down and create a card or two here and there. I also learned a new technique today that I am hoping to use on a card sometime soon. For now here are just a few of the cards that I managed to get made this week between all the stress, tears and general life.

Happy New Year
Well it's been a couple months since my last post, but alot has happened since then, and I'm hoping to be a more diligent blogger this year. I haven't been blogging lately, because I haven't been making anything lately. The reason for my lack of creativity is because at the end of November my husband and I separated and then just a few days later my brother passed away unexpectedly. The seperation from my husband was for the best, but I've been having a really hard time with my brother's death. We were very close and I really, really miss him. Add to all that the stress and busyness of the holidays and I just didn't have the time of desire to do anything creative.
Luckily for me, I had done lots of card making before all the stress and trauma happened, so when I was called and asked if I wanted a table at the Christmas Farmer's Market, I had enough stock that I was able to do it without having to make anything else. I also had a few customers that came by and literally cleaned me out of all the rest of my stock that I had on hand, so I currently only have about 5 cards, and I had over 200 at the beginning of November!
I have finally felt the desire to start creating again, so I just finished making 58 wedding invitations, a couple days ago, and I am now ready to start restocking my card inventory. I will be making lots of thank you cards first since my mom, my sister and I all need them for all the food, flowers, help and other things that we got at the time of my brother's death. I'll try to post the cards as I get them made.
Hope everyone has had a happy holiday season and a great New Year! :)
