Hello – my family

Hello dear friends… I have had so much fun reading your messages you have left me on my last blog posting. You guys are all so sweet! Thank you! I have now a really beautiful space, but iam not sure for how long I really can occupy this room, our house is quite small and iam sure we have to move things around as the kids get bigger. I still remember the times when I first started to blog, that I had to work on my dining room table, my little guy was only 2 a the time and he had his little hands always in my things I had to be so careful. Every time a meal came around or we had snack time I had to pretty much clean the entire table off. I used to color maybe 3 days in a row only and than the next days I would just make card bases. This did limit the kind of things I needed to get from my closet.

Than we finished our basement and I was able to get a desk in a nook downstairs. I did have day light lamps but quite frankly, I was sitting today here in my room – there is nothing that compares to some real sunlight and a look into the yard. (note to myself – I need to get rid of some tall grasses in front of my room). What I mean is that I do understand that not everybody has a dedicated room, and i highly respect that and I think it shows even more dedication to this kind of hobby because I know how hard this can be.Well.. thought I post today an other personal photo of my beautiful kids and mom (who desperately needs to see a hair dresser) The photo was taken on Tuesday morning just before we left to the first day of school. I have now a 4th Grader and a 1st Grader I am so proud of my kids.

Time for a card today. Finally I was able to sit down and color.
I adore ALL “Millie” images LOVT has brought out. I really wished we would get more of them! If you read my blog for a while you might recognize this image called “Millie Cuddle Time”, if I use a image more than 2x it’s really a favorite of mine. Maybe you would like to have a look? Here is Millie “Take Care Of Yourself” – in Blue and Red, “you are absolutely fabulous” in pale pink and blue. Since we are going into the fall season I went this time with Teal and Orange colors and a generic sentiment finish the card off.

Here is a peek of the inside.
I did add a little envelope to hold a extra note, tag, Gift card, check or cash.
