Happy Valentine's Day!

Um...

Well... it was "grandparent weekend" here.

Which meant all the craft stuff I had thrown everywhere in the basement had to be cleaned up.

So... other then card of the week... there's not a lot going on to report.

But here is my post to keep up with the resolution.

Hopefully something more interesting will happen next week! :)

Card of the Week

These are packs of the "lunchbox love letters" I mentioned in my post last week.

They are for sale here and they are a set of 10 for $5.00

They are 3.5 squares with a different stamp on each.  They do not come with envelopes - just a "note" to put in a lunchbox or leave on the counter to "share the love". :)

Card of the Week *I'm cheating*

baby C.W.

big boy C.W. (I edited the photo so you can't read his name...)

So, the birthday parties for C.W. are in the past... but the thank you cards just got put in the mail today!
I don't know why, but when we received gifts for him when he was born, and then now for his birthday presents, I feel like he should be the one saying thank you. 

Now, on the inside of the card, I do not write from his perspective.. because that would be weird.  BUT - twice now I have had him hold signs that say "thank you" and then I print them off and put them on the front of a card.  It makes for a simple but super cute card! :) 

(I ended up using a different photo for the birthday present thank you's; the one above is an "outtake")

Hmmm... let's see...

what else can I make....???

Bridget (my Stampin Up Rep and friend) was over yesterday for a 'craft day'.

We had her cricut set up downstairs, along with my cuttlebug, and of course punches, paper, more paper, and everything else we needed to make some stuff.

We had a good time and I made some backgrounds and things for some Easter cards.  I also worked on some more Lunchbox Love Letters to start selling at the store.  :)

While the kids were napping, we crafted.  While the kids were awake, we played.

It was a fun day!

Miss E. and C.W. after our walk - it was SOOOO nice out - probably 65 degrees! :)

Party

I went to a Stampin' Up party today with my friend Bridget.

I love making cards with someone else's stuff.  

I was able to use the embossing powder/heat gun thing, which I don't have here at my house.  

I'm not very good at it, but it's still fun to use.

We made three cards, ate very good food, and I placed an order for a St. Patrick's day stamp.

What a fun way to spend the afternoon!

Thanks Julie!

Card of the Week

I've done it!
I've started selling cards at a little store down the street!

Now hopefully that will be a jump in the right direction... more stores in the future I hope!!

Here is something that will be for sale there tomorrow:

Valentine's day cards for school!!!

on the pink side part there are slits cut in the top and bottom to add a pencil or a lollypop.

They will be in sets of 25 plus a teacher card for Valentine's day.

Here's the link to the store: http://shareitagain.net/

(there is this huge white box at the top of the page that shows up, but if you scroll down you'll get to see the information...not sure what is up with that...??)

I've got a lot more to bring with me tomorrow to leave at the store...

but I wanted to share this one because I'm excited about Valentine's day!
