Hi everyone
Just to make something clearer, I may not have explained it well enough, the new blog I am transferring all of you to, will be it, from now on. This blog here will end eventually, but I am leaving it up, just in case I need to get things from it. Then when I am done with it, I will close it for good.
So be sure to get the link on August 31th right here so you can sign up to be a follower before I close this one here.
Thank you everyone for your support. See you on the 31st for a new address, link to my new internet residence.

Another card in a box to share
Hi Readers, Today I have a card in a box to share with you. It was one I made for a friend in England. Happy Birthday Rose. She was really happy to receive her card and notice that it was one card in a box that she had been encouraging me to try a few months ago. That was a third one I made ...
Thank you everyone. It is heartwarming to read all comments as well as the so many emails asking to keep it going...some said, I want to be selfish and ask that you continue with your blog as it is very informative and inspirational. This is my goal when I post my cards and sometimes recipes. I so appreciate all of you. Will write a post soon.

HI everyone
Thank you for all the lovely comments, I had fun reading all of them as I was smiling all the way through. I hope it gives you the incentive to try at least a smaller version as I promise it wouldn't be as much work and if I make another one it will be a much smaller scale no doubt. Thanks again, you all rule!

I'm excited to show you my own rendition of a box card
Hi friends, Tuesday already, but all is well here. We are still busy and will be for the next 4 weeks. We are fixing and renovating a few items inside and outside of the house so that takes me away from making the normal load of cards I usually have to show you. But hang in tight, I'm still h...
HI Alison
I sure hope this finds you well and smiling! Thank you for your comment on my poppy. It is huge. I had a friend that asked me if I had purchased a plastic plant at the store LOL??? I said well, heck no! This it real LOL she sure had a good laugh but I only know her to have this sense of humour so it was funny and expected of her.
I hope your weather is comfortable for you all. Here we are starting to be a little too warm for my own comfort, I must be aging LOL. But very soon we will be Simmering so I might as well take this warm weather now and say it is very nice ah ah ah
Have a fun rest of the week Alison

Nice to be back with some cards to share.
Hi Friends, One question? Who hasn't gotten stuck into the Pinterest web yet LOL?? Well, if I had more time I am sure I would probably manage to open about 15+ pages at once that is when your computer start slowing and playing games of its own on you by the way. So release pages if it happens...
Awwww thank you Mary I am glad you are enjoying some of my cards.
It is just so encouraging to have comments about them as sometimes I feel like I am showing them all to myself hee hee. So thank you for that.

One of my favorite flowers, the Orchid
Hi Friends, We all know that nature has its huge variety of orchids in store for us. I once went to an orchid show in San Francisco, I could not beleive how many varieties there were out there. Needless to say, there was one for every budget out there. The colors, the bloom shapes with spots,...

Another sample card to share
Hi Friends, Not sure I had mentionned this to you before, but, the sample cards are to be simple so all the products needed on the card have to be available. So less is more. So this is why you don't see so much going on with sample cards. Nonetheless I just think it is worthy of showing and ...

Hi Ladies
Angela and Rose, I am no different when it comes to being nervous drawing frames, but after taking a deep breath and shoulders relaxed I can use a ruler and draw. Try the deep breath technique first. Thank you all for your wonderful comments.

Daisies and more daisies!
Hi Friends, As promised here is a Birthday card I made for a friend. She reported that my card not only made it without being crushed, but seeing the flowers on it, she knew it had to have been a time consuming card which I don't mind making. I will show you soon how I send my flower cards so ...
Wow thank you everyone! If I inspire one of you, I have accomplished what I am trying to do, I hope it helps you make cards that you never thought you could do and see that yes, it is possible for you as well.

Thank you Rose, I wanted to take a picture of the mountain but my battery had to be charged so an hour later the hugging had stopped :(
