So much to catch up on

I have so many projects that I have been working on...I've actually been creating all summer long.  Its' really been a card making summer for me.  Number 1 daughter and I took the Make It Mini workshop at Archievers. Loved all the techniques we used and learned...but not sure where I would use some of the cards.

After this class I was really inspired to create so went to my scrapbook room with the intent of creating Thanksgiving cards....got frustrated that I couldn't find my fall/Thanksgiving paper that I created some St. Patrick Day cards instead!

Then kept on creating...I made a "Thinking About You" and a "Happy Birthday" card:

Then I have 2 recent graduates that are becoming teachers and will be teaching for the first time this fall and so I made them each a card to encourage them.

And last but not least, I have a niece who is expecting a baby next month and I threw a baby shower for her and just had to purchase the Cricut 3 Birds on Parade cartridge to use since her last name is Bird!

I've several other projects but ended up mailing them out and THEN remembering to take pictures. :(  No problem, now that No. 2 and 3 daughters have moved to college, and No. 1 daughter is working and going for her second degree...I will have plenty of time to work on things.

My next project I want to tackle is memo boards for daughter No. 3 and her roommate.  Didn't have time to do them before and the roommate has a birthday in a few weeks.  Also want to get Thanksgiving cards done (found the paper a few days ago) because I am having carpel tunnel surgery on my left hand mid-October and won't be able to do anything for a few weeks.  Should also add Christmas cards to the list.  Maybe I'll get them done in time to mail for Christmas! One can only hope! Oh, also want to blog again soon....just discovered the Smash Book! OMG.....
