Surprise!! I am here!!
Hi Friends,
I hope you are all doing well. As for me, bet you wondered what was up with me! Mostly health issues, but I won't go into details and bore you there!
I know one thing.....I am so sick of the cold weather and can't wait for Spring & Summer! I am a California girl living in South Carolina! You would think after 20 years, I would be used to the weather here, but NOT!
If you notice, I changed my blog template again. Since St. Patricks day is up next, I thought it would be appropriate. I want to change the template often according to upcoming Holidays or Occasions, to keep you from being bored.
Before I share a card that I made, I want to welcome and thank my newest follower for coming over to join me. Christina is my newest follower and I am so happy she is here. If you look down my left column, you will see her pretty blog button for Flowers, Ribbons and Pearls. She is such a talented lady and loves to share her gorgeous projects and how she does all in lots of (free) videos and written tutorials. And, the exciting part is that she has just opened her on line shop with some Tools made by her Film crew & very pretty items that she has made, (not telling you what, you must go look for yourself). Note: I am not related to or receiving any gratuities for this information. Just loving and grateful for all of her fabulous works.
Now, it has been a while since I made any cards (just drooling over others cards), so please excuse the imperfections. This card has 3 hours into it, only for the lack of trying to find things and decide what I wanted to do with it. It was a Birthday Card for my dear Father-in-law.
I started with Brown textured card stock from The Paper Studio for my card base. The white panel is Neena white, cut with Spellbinders Card Creators A and designer paper is from Bo Bunny's Timepiece collection, cut with S/B Card Creator B, then cut in half. the brown ribbon is Grosgrain that I had in my stash for ages. The Mustache is S/B Dear Old Dad, designed by Becky Fleck of Page maps. I mounted it with Glue dots after curling each end on a pencil to give the raised effect. Dad by "My Sentiments Exactly" (don't know if they are still in business) is stamped and sponged with Memento Rich Cocoa and cut out with S/B Fancy Tags die. The Birthday tag stamp & die at the bottom are from Whimsy Stamps .
Well that's it for now. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and may the good Lord shower you with many blessings.
Hugs Lori

HAPPY NEW YEAR...A New Beginning!
Hello dear blogging friends and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you. May this New Year 2013 bring you many blessings and your hearts desires through the year.
I know that I have been absent from my blog for quite some time and I must apologize. I hope you are still with me. While I make no promises or specific resolutions, my mind is all over the place today with thoughts of New beginnings. I am just going to keep these thoughts in my mind/heart and see how they go. Am I making any sense? It is just that making promises and resolutions out loud, I believe puts more pressure to do and can hinder actually doing them. I know I am blathering here and just hope you can understand. I have many hopes & dreams for this new year and am starting here and just moving on from here!
With Love, Blessings & Crafty Hugs, Lori

A crafter in need of help!
Hi friends,
First I want to apologize for not being here. Every time I try to post blogger has been acting up and won't even let me access anything. If it begins to work better, I will be posting some stuff, but not today!
I am so heartbroken for a fellow crafter "Darsie Bruno". She was awakened on Tuesday morning to a fire in her home. The post with all of the information is Here This is so devasting and I thank the good Lord that her & her son are o.k. She has a very hard road ahead of her (I have been through 2 fires, so know this first hand). She has lost everything including her craft room. Please click on the link to read the story and if you can help in any way, please do.
Have good, safe day my friends.
Big hugs & Blessings, Lori
