Many Thanks!

A few weeks back, I made some wine charms as a thank you to my mother-in-law for throwing that wonderful joint shower a while back.

I love how easy these are to whip up.

Now, can I just vent a little?  OK, thanks.

I am not a fan of the Thank You card tradition.  I never have been.  I feel like, if I can thank you in person, than that should be enough.  I can understand sending Thank You cards to someone who wasn’t around when I received their thoughtful gift.  However, if you’re sitting in the room when I open the present, I’ve probably thanked you a couple times already.

You all can probably imagine what is sparking this need to vent…it’s my cramped hand.  The cramped hand I am getting from writing Thank You cards for the people who gave me such wonderful gifts at my first two baby showers.

I was going to be all motivated and crafty and make Thank You cards.  I had my eye on a couple of pinterest goodies…

But my lovely mother-in-law knew better and bought me a box of generic cards.  They are much more realistic.

I have one shower all written and ready to be mailed…if only I had some stamps.  My goal is to finish the second shower’s cards by next weekend, when I have my final shower.

Special Day

Today is a very special day for a very special lady.

Hopefully this card has already arrived, and I’m not spoiling any surprise.

I’m sure the fact that I actually mailed a card is surprise enough.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Love You!!!

Ordinary Craft Project

I didn’t really know what I was going to post about today, but leave it to hubby to inspire a little crafty project.

Last night, he curled up next to me with a good book and took out his bookmark…

Yes…that is a square of TP…

So I decided to make him a bookmark.

I know it’s not anything extraordinary,

But sometimes we’re inspired by the ordinary...

or toilet paper.

Wedding Card

Today I have a simple card that I made to go with this weekend’s wedding gift

Making this card, I confirmed that I need a new blade for my Silhouette.

I love the simple design.

 I used my Silhouette, but it could easily be done with a punch or by hand.
