text-align: center;">
Hello,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm hoping everyone is doing alright?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry it's been a while but if you are like me,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the currant circumstances are really messing up my routine</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it has been hard o find a healthy balance between</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
still going to work, social distancing, wearing a mask,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the crazy issues at the stores and finding time to be creative.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who would have thought a year ago that buying toilet paper would </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
be like finding a needle in a hay stack:(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But anyways, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there is light at the end of the tunnel </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and we will make it through this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so glad I have a healthy stash of paper and yarn</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which will keep me busy for quiet a while.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With that said I would like to share with you a card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and some other things I made in a Star Wars theme for</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my oldest sons March Birthday.</div>

Hello</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Easter to all of you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or better we will make it a happy one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even so, it will be quiet a bit different this year then any other</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I'm sure it will be one we will remember for years to come.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With shelter in place, social distancing and a lot of places closed </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a hart time even getting into any kind of Easter routine,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
decorating, making and sending cards,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I snapped out of it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
told myself</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
why should this virus keep me from doing all the things I love!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here is the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"An Easter to Remember" card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I hope it will brighten your day the same </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as it did mine making them.</div>

I just love spring, time for renewal, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
time to come out of the house after gray and cold winter days,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to get your hands dirty, clean the flower beds, get the garden ready for planting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I know we can not go anywhere right now</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and do what we used to do but</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if you are fortunate to have a yard</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
go outside, look around, get creative or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just listen to the birds. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And always remember #weareinthistogether</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
oh and wash your hands!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With this I would like to wish you and yours</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a very blessed Easter!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We will make it through this together!</div>

Hello</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and Happy Sunday to you all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just a short little post today,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the weather is absolutely gorgeous around here</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I'm ready to go out and do some spring cleanup in the yard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I want to share another February birthday card with you all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our Queen Bee aka Grand Baby No. 1 turned TWO</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and as you can see, she wanted a Minnie Mouse Birthday Party</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and Meemaw delivered.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtDlENrTfZrMiLfV7o2ThdUB2dLyRSSq74qDz3QzrQOSLxktBUnJ863nBj8Gr1llRm-TO8Ol8Z8NwH2jLcyA5-hfW5C7T6xsmMyQGovg-0NcquvS-KXAhauSgK017Rv6KuTYdfSoLeWOJB/s1600/DSC_0340a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtDlENrTfZrMiLfV7o2ThdUB2dLyRSSq74qDz3QzrQOSLxktBUnJ863nBj8Gr1llRm-TO8Ol8Z8NwH2jLcyA5-hfW5C7T6xsmMyQGovg-0NcquvS-KXAhauSgK017Rv6KuTYdfSoLeWOJB/s640/DSC_0340a.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Minnie was made out of 3 simple circles cut with the Cricut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Number 2 was cut with the Cricut as well and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the bow I just free styled.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Happy Birthday was cut with the Spellbinders </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a simple little card which I think turned out really cute.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And while I was playing with the Cricut I thought of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this little Birthday Memory Board. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsG763zGQV2U0uY7R79z5ZbXLNzAvHh16XjDUUHrWPpQzeNop1NOQw_tZ8diTZymMkHyzzufX74pUpRL35KKYMtVLROFAfVhUg6sbjqWpZe0ePF7io1XTUOl0ncR17nLb_-Ivg84OI7nBu/s1600/DSC_0345a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsG763zGQV2U0uY7R79z5ZbXLNzAvHh16XjDUUHrWPpQzeNop1NOQw_tZ8diTZymMkHyzzufX74pUpRL35KKYMtVLROFAfVhUg6sbjqWpZe0ePF7io1XTUOl0ncR17nLb_-Ivg84OI7nBu/s640/DSC_0345a.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can make this any size you want or with any material you have laying around,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mine was just recycled cardboard, leftover snippets of paper, small clothespins,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
add a few cute pictures and voila!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you so much for stopping by,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you liked the post </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and come back often for more craftzy inspirations!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a wonderful week!</div>

Hello everyone</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and welcome to a post all about</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Gnome Love".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes I jumped on the bandwagon and joined Gnomemenia, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but to my defense who can resist those adorable little bearded fellows?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just saying!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And if you have been following me on Instagram </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you already know I fell quiet hard for the Gnomies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So to top it all of I decided on a Gnome themed </div>

Hello</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
welcome to the first post of the new year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope everyone had a great start to the new year,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we sure did and after a few well deserved vacation days</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we are all back to work and our daily routine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the time between the holidays do get busy in the stamp room</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and design a "Thank you" card </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for all the lovely gifts we received.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I decided on a beautiful snowflake card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even so it sure dose not feel like winter around here, LoL,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
actually we are having severe thunderstorms, high wind and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
flash flood warnings as we speak.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mother nature gone a little mad in Kentucky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So with all the craziness going on outside </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would like to share with you my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
snowflake inspired thank you card. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that we don't loss electricity</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No I haven't giving up on being crafty, blogging</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and social media, I just needed a bit of time of to concentrate on my</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
mental and physical health and step away from all the craziness</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
going on in the crafts world and social media.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and happy weekend to you all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm hoping you are staying cool and safe</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with temperatures reaching the triple digits this weekend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For me the best way to escape the heat is a trip to the lake,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my little quiet place, just 10 minutes from the house,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the reason I been a bit absent from</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
social media and my little blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry everyone but I decided to take up Kayaking this year</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I'm in love,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I promise I will get better in posting as soon as the weather turns cooler! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But with that said, all the time spend on the water</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
inspired me to make a</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Little Mermaid card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwTpZuHZmpesa20FZpEDAXtej9h0qW4QD1qBoHkEqv47b9WqWMqgzSR8auyaeIL8Dtq9jhIKuZwJkNE-9oQhSjXA7fTzDoOHhoPIIZLPmIqbci_TC176-jK5VxLDwZCg7m8vJJZ05Tj8la/s1600/CSC_0826a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwTpZuHZmpesa20FZpEDAXtej9h0qW4QD1qBoHkEqv47b9WqWMqgzSR8auyaeIL8Dtq9jhIKuZwJkNE-9oQhSjXA7fTzDoOHhoPIIZLPmIqbci_TC176-jK5VxLDwZCg7m8vJJZ05Tj8la/s640/CSC_0826a.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a while I used the Cricut machine but</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found the most adorable little Mermaid on the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Life is a Beach" cartridge which was just perfect for this project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The size of the Mermaid depends on the size of your card,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut mine at 4.5 inches for a small card and decided to paint </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Mermaid tail with glitter paint for a bit of sparkle. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So what do you all think,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ready to escape to the lake and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
find some relief from the heat?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly no, I have not seen a Mermaid yet,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but one can hope and dream!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping in,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
have a wonderful weekend,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stay safe in the heat!</div>

Hello</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Sunshiny Sunday to all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well sunshiny for a few hours at least,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
already can hear the next round of thunderstorms moving in:(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I decided to snap the pictures outside with the card propped up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in one of my flower boxes right quick</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
before the next torrential downpour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's becoming a sad little story around here,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hoping for a better start to summer after the wettest spring on record.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But with that said and nothing we can do about the weather</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would like to show you one of my latest creations</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Friends Forever"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a Birthday card I made for my best friend.</div>

Hello all</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
happy weekend to you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I been playing with some different layouts recently,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and if you think the cards look somewhat familiar,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you are right, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the same dies for a more masculine card a few month back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But since I'm a girly girl I love to add flowers to my cards whenever I get a chance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And since I could not come up with a good title for this post </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just named it </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Card Variations".</div>
