Working really hard

Well, been busy busy busy.

It seems every day I turn around and a special event pops up like a birthday or anniversary or whatever and I am constantly making cards.

It seems that everybody loves my cards more than my albums.  I guess because I give cards more than albums.

I have also recently started watching a live stream of a group out of Defiance Ohio called Friends of Felines Rescue, where a lady by the name of Jacci Moss rescues cats and takes real good care of them, getting them spayed/neutered, vaccines, special needs cats with epilepsy, tri-pods, any with CH (which is Cerebellar Hypoplasia, which you can read up on at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar_hypoplasia_(non-human)).

I was so moved by what this lady does, that I have started to donated cards, bookmarks and affirmation cards to them for their Day Sales that they have twice a year.

FFRC is what they call it for short can be found at http://www.fofrescue.org/. They always need food donations as well as monetary.

You can also watch their live feed at http://www.ustream.tv/ffrc or http://www.fofrescue.org/kittycam3.html. Please watch.  It is quite an amazing thing.

My favorites are:

Octavia, Magenta, Dove, Derecho (DMan), Paddy Purr, Paddy Cake, Farrah, and Ginger

This is just some info on FFRC:

Friends of Felines' Rescue Center is a volunteer staffed non-profit, no-kill, cage free feline care facility. We receive no local, state, or federal government funding, and operate entirely through the kindness of private donors. If you would like to make a monetary donation you can use PayPal on eith site from above. 100% of your donation will go to the rescue centers general fund and help us in our primary mission, which is to serve as a temporary home to orphaned, abandoned or abused felines and to carefully find them loving, indoor homes where quality lifetime care is provided. You can also donate food by going to http://www.fofrescue.org/ways-to-help/things-we-need/ and scroll down to the bottom.

We R Memory Keepers Envelope Maker

I am so excited to report that I have bought the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Maker! I haven't recieved it yet, but am so excited for it to arrive.  

Many people that I have made cards for - birthdays, house warmings, etc - love the cards, but I always find that I never have the right size envelope.

I have seen many videos, heard many reviews on this particular envelope maker and some are good and some are bad.  But I hope that I will find a way to make it work for me.

New Projects

Hi All,

Well I am happy to report that I have officially started my first 2 projects.  It started some time ago, when a friend of mine said, "Look I have these projects in mind, but I don't have the time or the creativity to do them".  I was like, ok, let's meet and you can show me the vision of the layout that you want for your books and I will take it from there.


Then I said to her, why don't I throw in scanning of your photos as part of being my first customer? She thought that was a great idea, because her pictures are from before the digital age and those were the only copies she had...


Then as I was all finished scanning her photos, but before being able to back up my work, my computer crashed...It was a disappointment and a setback.. I thought oh my goodness, I lost all that work and I can't even begin to work on her books, until I can get this resolved.  


I asked a dear friend of mine, who is a computer genius, to see if she could look at my broken laptop and try to recover anything.  VoilĂ !!! She was able to back up my whole laptop to my external hard drive and recover all my work....I was ecstatic.


I was able to start traditional...I have forgotten how it feels to do traditional.  


So I am still working on these projects and my friend is all excited to see what I have created.  I look at it this way, it's art, isn't it??? Some people paint and hang their work in galleries, some make jewellery so people can wear it, some people do graffiti on buildings and some place their art on TV or in music...


This is my art and I want to help you display your photos in an album to share with friends and family...If you don't have the time to create, I can help you...You need a present and have no idea what to give, I have pre-done albums in my collection.  I can also create a custom card for you in matter of days...


Thanks for reading and I hope you come back to read my next post

Whew!  We've been busy! 
The May 5 show was fun and informative for us!  We had our first sale go to a teen girl looking for a Mother's Day gift for her mom.  We had friends drop by and check us out.  We had quite a bit of input from the public as to what they liked.  Here we are, our first show and all set up to go as the doors open...

AND we gave a way our first door prize too!  Grace R. was one of many who filled in a draw slip.  Lucky girl won an 8x8 purple themed album along with a hand made card, an affirmation and a bookmark.  Thanks to all who entered!
