work interferes...

I haven't been blogging much as work takes priority for some odd reason. Actually my job is pretty terrific and just right for me at this time, so I am not complaining. It's just that I would rather be playing with paper, colored pencils and of course my wonderful Cricut.

This card was made for a co-worker who has a beloved little Chihuahua. I knew she would love it and she did (I got a hug). How can you beat putting a smile on a person's face with just a bit of time on my part? Life is good.

This is the creation that started my blog, I was trying to share the cut.file for the lattice. I haven't figured that part out yet, but hopefully, with patience, I will.

Creating a blog!

Well, I have finally taken the plunge into the world of blogging. I don't know much about this realm of the net so I am now into a new learning curve. I guess that means I'm still alive and kicking.

I am a scrapbooker and a card maker. I am obsessed with paper and adhesive, color, texture, bling, embellies and my CRICUT. It's all the evil Creative Memories lady's fault. She invited me to a gathering of nice friendly women, I thought "sounds like fun!"

It was. It was a whole lot of fun. And expensive.

I actually signed up to be an evil Creative Memories lady, but 3 weeks later my husband suffered a cardiac arrest. So, I didn't lure anyone to the adhesive sniffing underbelly of the paper crafting world. But scrapping our wedding album helped me stay sane during DH's recovery. There is an advantage to saving your DH's life, he can't deny you anything. So he bought my Cricut for me, the Baby Bug has been my constant companion and chief financial drain ever since.

So, here I am typing away, trying to explain how a hobby became an obsession. I didn't succeed, but it was fun.
