Remind yourself, it's OK not to be perfect.

 Hello!

I am back from wandering!

I learned that I do NOT send enough cards!

I heard over and over, how, someone was having a hard time, and the card I sent was just what they needed.

I made these:

Thinking of you cards.


They were a kit. The color is off.

Red and this one, a bluey green.

I am sending them, thanking everyone for the visits etc.

I usually wait until I hear something, a special occasion, etc.

I had no idea they were such a pick me up!

Just send the card! You never know who will need to hear from you!

I will be back with pictures from my trip, and more cards in a day or two.

Hope you are well!

Stay safe.

Talk to ya later!

Rule #1 of life. Do what makes YOU happy. ~ Unknown

 Hello!

I thought I'd better get on with a card!

I am leaving next week to go visit the kids up north.

They're hoping I bring sunshine.

I told them I'd try, as I think since March 1st, we've had 5 REALLY nice days!

Then I went to blog, and I hadn't uploaded the pictures.

Oi!

Here's Vanessa's birthday card!




 I really have to find a good place to take pictures!

A little out of my comfort zone. It's a Kraftin Kimmie stamp called Social Sally, and I don't think it's available anymore.

I colored and shimmered, and did the inside, and because her card is always blue with a dragonfly......It's stamped & embossed on the back. I did have new stamps and dies I was going to use, but this worked.

Her BFF is taking her to a concert on her birthday, so Bryson and I will make her Death by Chocolate for when she's home the next day!

Then I am going to make my way home after going to a GP Boys Choir concert. It's the one I was going to between Christmas and New Years with my cousin, and it was cancelled! 

Kalen ended up with covid. Really bad-never-ending-cough. He missed about a week of work, worried he gave it to everyone. They do have to wear masks at work; he was here to pick some stuff up. We were outside, and that was before he knew he had it! All was well. 

Mom quit going to Bingo & Canasta, as her friend got it, and she's pretty sure it was at Bingo. 

Mom gets annoyed with me when I put my mask on to go into a place.

You don't have to wear them anymore, is what she says.

I say, I know you don't, but you should and if I can't stay 6 feet away from people, I am wearing it!

We had company this week. Mom's brother & wife came from Alberta. It was lovely! We haven't had company for years.....except the few times my brother has come.

I am busy planning for our family reunion. It's outside, at a park, so will be reminding everyone if they're sick to stay home! Cause I'm mean like that!

Better go.

Hope you're all well!

Stay safe!

Talk to ya later!
