Friends are special treasures

Hi blogger friends. Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. 2018 was very hectic, busy and sad.
In April we moved from St. Louis, MO to Gilbert, AZ to be near my one and only granddaughter. Yes, I am the Mon-Fri 6:30-4:00 pm babysitter. Needless to say, I currently don't have much time for my cards. My husband also retired in May, so now I am hanging around with him more.
 My Mother passed away in August and I am still mourning her loss. She was my best friend and my best critic of my scrapbooking and cardmaking.
My craft room is finally to my liking. I have reorganized it at least 4 times since I moved here.
I left behind a fabulous group of crafty women, who were like my sisters. So I guess I am mourning that loss, too.
Enter 2019. I promised myself to be more creative. I went through my 6 boxes of cards that I had made and shipped 2 big boxes to some friends. Another box of cards is going to my best girlfriend, with tons of tags, die cut and stamped images, etc. I sorted through my unfinished cards and got started on completing them. I made 6 new cards to go out to people who didn't know we had moved. Then I found a few bits and piece and threw together this card.

Thanks for stopping by my little blog. Have a blessed day!

Day 6 of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge


Good afternoon..... wow, I can't believe I got my day 6 coloring posted on day 6. Yeah for me. Here is what Kathy at The Daily Marker posted today. It's this card just awesome.
Well, I don't have any letter dies, so I had to fussy cut my PI girl from My Favorite Things out. I used many different stamp companies for my card today. The border is from Gina K, the sentiment is from A Muse and my girl is from MFT. I used my water coloring skills again today for my sky and grass and my Copics for my girls skin,shoes and the little birdie. I did a little paper piecing with her dress.
Wow, this 30 coloring challenge is really helping me get a nice stack full of card fronts and cards done. Hope you all are having as much fun... Until tomorrow, happy coloring.
