It's been too long since I've posted anything! We've had so much going on at work and at home. The Seattle Times announced an RIF about a month ago. Friday we lost about 200+ employees. Many of these people I have worked with for a long time, others for just a short while. It just won't be the same without them. Each person had something special to offer and I know they will be missed.
On a happier note, I took some cards in to the office that I had made a while back, and was shocked when ONE gal asked if she could buy them all.....NINETEEN of them. I gave her a 'package price'...and she told others and showed them the cards...guess what I have now..... ORDERS for cards!! YIKES! I have orders for 60 cards for people in the office. I have no clue when I will be able to make them, but if you have a great card to share that you think is easy to CASE, link it up here for me please! This is just what I needed in order to use up some of my stash of stuff!
I'm looking forward to a great weekend. Saturday was National scrapbook day, and I got to spend the entire day with my friend Debbie - we had another scrapbook safari. I had planned to not buy that much....well, things don't always go as planned, especially when it comes to scrapbooking stuff! What did YOU do on National Scrapbook Day? I hope it was something fun!!
Allison sent a great red, black & white card yesterday too. It included a wonderful little assortment of hydrangeas and acrylic baubles. The flowers were exactly the color that I needed and had been looking for at stores yesterday...and never found. I was so excited to see them last night when I opened the card! Thank you so much, Allison! You really are the BEST!!
And just when it seems things are going well, you realize a camera is missing. My camera to be exact. One of the mangy mongrels has taken/borrowed it and not put it back. Now that means I can't share any photos until it is found. It's bad enough that I haven't updated this blog for weeks, and now all I have are blabby words to post. :( Hopefully one of the kids will confess today so I can post a few pics!
Have a great day~
