Hi all! I know, I know, it's been a while since we talked... (uh... since like last year in November, but who's actually keeping track, not me!!) Let's see... oh yes... I had made cards for Veteran's Day, and a few of us from the Albuquerque Angels did go and hand deliver those to our Veterans in the Veteran's Administration Hospital here in town. WOW!!! What an experience, and a delight to get to talk with each of them. Such courage and honor they display, and they all said they would do it again! Amazing people that I was lucky enough to meet that day! Our Angels put together over 4,000 cards for 2011 that were sent out to our troops. I think that is just awesome for a small handful of people to accomplish! Bravo for us! Then... of course the holidays hit, you know Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years... and of course made a few cards for those too. I also joined a Stampin Up club in December that meets once a month, and we do a card swap for that, which has been a ton of fun. But whew... then I had a whole bunch of birthdays mixed in there as well as a baby shower too! My mother's birthday is two days before Christmas, (this is her card)...
and...
a friend in January, a friend in Febuary (this is her card because she loves a good soak!!)....
and...
my dad's birthday a week ago.
Cards for men have not been my forte as of yet... as I struggle with what to put on there, but hey, he loves fishing, so I guess what more do you need besides a pole, a caught fish, potentially more fish, and blue skies above!! Well, that catches us up to this week. Oh I forgot... there were a few other creations in there as well...
Baby shower fruit picks, and some tags....
So... the Rubber Stamp Convention is Saturday here in town, and I'm so excited... I did get two entries in for Saturday's card contest "Friendship." Fingers crossed I win! I'll give you a tiny sneak peek-ish of one of the cards...
I will post the full pictures of both next week and let you know how I did, and you can let me know what you think. And now... we've come to my daughter's upcoming birthday on Sunday. Ideas are flowing, and I must get going!
