I had such fun last year that I decided that “Feeding Your Body with Organic Vegetables” was going to be my exercise program, too. This year I have moved within the garden beds to be right across from the Nursery where I volunteer twice a week. It makes it a lot easier on those days…
Making Simple and Beautiful Handmade Cards needs to be seen through the eye of the receiver. First, it’s a beautiful card. Then, it’s a beautiful note inside that I’ve been calling Keepsakes of Kindness. We’ve all gone through losses and received the cards and letters and text and emails, but which ones do you keep?

Copied straight out of the catalog, I have been getting rave reviews on this card: I used the same technique we’ve done before, creating a wallpaper of background stamping. Same idea masking off, too. About the middle of last year I created some card stock pieces that help me figure out the sizes of the…
I don’t know when Count My Blessings retired, but I am NOT GETTING rid of it any time soon. Well worth your trying to find it on eBay, as much as I dislike eBay. My next project will be a card made with this stamp set, including the sentiment! Of course, if you’re one of…
