    Impromptu craft club

    My recently retired neighbor asked me over for an impromptu version of craft club today. Since I didn’t have a dozen other things to worry about, I remembered to bring my camera.

    craft club 1There were 4 of us making cards for various occasions. Since there were fewer of us than evening craft club, we were able to spread out a lot more.

    craft club notedThese were some of the cute cards that my fellow crafter’s made today.

    others cardsI love the clever cards with the gift if money as part of the scene. She said that she was behind with Christmas cards but figured when they saw the cash they forget all about it being late. 🙂

    I’ll share what I made another day. The lighting was terrible by the time I thought about photographing mine here at home.

    Oh Christmas cards, Oh Chiristmas cards

    I decided to go a different route with our family Christmas cards this year. We’ve sent out a photo, letter or photo copied scrapbook page for countless years now.  My reasons for changing the tradition for this year are multifaceted. I have to tell you that my family was shocked!!Christmas cards

    I’m sending out handmade cards this year. And a lot fewer of them. We’ll see how it goes. I may regret that decision but I already have my plan for next year. 🙂

    These are just a few of the designs I came up with yesterday. Luckily I have a stash of cards I’ve made throughout the last couple of months.

    T Tuesday: Something’s brewing edition

    T stands for Tuesday rolls around more quickly each week it seems. Think it’s possible that our hostess Elizabeth is speeding up time? Yeah…probably not happening.

    This week my Tea is not for drinking… I’m just dye-ing to show you what I’m doing. *teeheehee*

    Tea dye

    My supplies are simple…old package of 6 tea bags that I’d never drink. Scraps of linens, lace and ribbon. Glass bowl. Boiling water. And time.

    toil and trouble

    Bubble, bubble toil and trouble. And now we wait…

    I’m heading for a brisk morning walk with a friend.

    What are you doing today?
