Firstly, I wanted to say 'Welcome' to the new folks who signed up to follow this blog.
Remember, if you sign up (see the follow this blog tab on the right) you will be automatically signed up for my Dec-March weekly blog giveaway. I am cleaning house and giving away things I have made in appreciation to those who are with me on this artful journey. Check out my post about it to learn a little more!
Secondly, I have added comments to my blog as I have had a number of queries about how to comment. I appreciate you wanting to say hello. I usually get comments at Facebook as my blog post automatically appear on FB as a note, but not everyone is on FB, so please feel free to leave me a note here! I love to hear positive things :)

I took a card making workshop at my friend Nicole's house this morning. Nicole, a Stampin' Up consultant has everything laid out and cut ready to put together. Sometime is it nice to do something with your hands as you chat to friends and glue without thinking too much. Oh, and eat yummy food. Nicole had a lovely lunch prepared for us. Being a nursing mom I was first to dig in to quiche, muffins and fresh fruit. An unexpected delight. Thanks Nicole!
Now I have some handmade Christmas cards ready to go, in a year I had not planned to send cards!
And of course Max was there with me. He was perfectly well behaved. He was awake and then asleep and then awake. It slowed me down, but I was happy to be out on our first trip together, so no worries.
I have been working on my own card creations this week too. I have some stamps by Jenny Doh. They are adorable. Here are some of the cards I have made to send off to Stampington in my capacity as an Artist On Call. I have a few more in the works too.
Shona, I'm so glad you added comments. You just added me as a friend on FB...I thought I'd send a request so I could comment when something moved me. I'm glad we can do that here with you now.
ReplyDeleteMax is amazing...look how alert and easy going!! You're an experienced mother and he's benefiting from that!
Love your cards using the Jenny Doh stamps...there is something soft, feminine, romantic and "possible" about what you have created!
I want you to know that "you" are the one that sparked a fire in me to return to art, and for that I am greatful.
ReplyDeleteYour new one Max is beautiful, just beautiful.
Thank you for all the work you put into this blog, it's great.
By the way.. I'm Amy's Mom.
Yay for comments!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing. Brand new FIFTH baby, you look great, going to parties ... out and about. Awesome!!
Can't wait to meet Max. He is darling!

It looks like you had a great time at the card-making class. Max looks so handsome, even more so than when I saw him the other day.
ReplyDeleteI love the cards you made for Stampington. Those are some really nice stamps.
Thanks ladies, I am glad to have finally added comments, having to go through Facebook was not working for me, it is too cumbersome to use and I am not good at checking FB, and then when I do I get sidetracked so easily!
ReplyDeleteI do appreciate you checking in with me. I know there are a million other places you can be, so as I have talked to Trudy about - I want to make it worth your while :)
I'm saying hello! I first found you ages ago when you quoted a Billy Collins poem, and I've been keeping all my comments to myself since then for lack of a button to press. Congratulations on beautiful little Max.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you added the ability to comment. It's amazing that you are out and about with Max, he is adorable. I love the cards, so feminine and dreamy.
ReplyDeleteHi Shona! Thank you for letting us comment. I wouldn't have an art blog or art entries if it weren't for you. Thanks for being such an inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteI love your cards!!! Are you making them to sell? They are beautiful and so homey!
Hey, I've been catching up with blogs, as I've been so busy lately, and I'm glad to see you have comments enabled now! What a boy! his face makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteI thought those stamps of Jenny's were so cute, and now I see how cute they can really be. cool work!
