A New Year Resolution

Happy New Year to all!!!! I believe all who read this blog from time to time hope that my New Year resolution is going to be.......wait for it................to blog more and post our creations more - sooner than later......hahahahaha! I hope that for myself too however I promise nothing

It has been a wonderful and busy year.....doing lots of classes, even teaching some, so lots of my time went to prepping and organizing for that....lots of knitting happened this year for me......a new baby girl happened into our lives here.....Now I can be called Gramma....so more knitting will be happening. Our card exchanges were lots of fun this year with the challenge of sketches and themes. Our little group welcomed new members this year, so all has been very good.


I have the last two exchanges to post; the first one is November's cards which was Hostess themed and the second picture is our December exchange which was Christmas themed, who doesn't like making Christmas cards!


I hope everyone has been having a wonderful and safe holiday and that the New Year brings all your dreams and wishes. Enjoy your New Year Eve! and I'll be posting to you next year....hopefully on a regular basis.

A little group meeting

Well I haven't post anything for over 4 months and today I have done 3.....almost like I am caught up...hahahahaha! Well here is October's card exchange cards, it was a sketch challenge....and I very much liked this sketch. We were a small group this month, only 3 of us from our group of 7 were able to make this exchange.......as I said before we have had a very busy past few months. Thanks again for visiting our blog and hope you enjoy our cards!

August's sketch challenge

Where or where has the blogger gone?

Hello All! Yes I am still living and crafting.....where have I been the whole summer and then some...well I have been here...no I have not been sick.....just been very lackadazical(if thats a word) in the blogging department. Yes we have been meeting every month and doing our cards...as you will see in this post with the oh sooooooo many pictures of the last four or five card exchanges....I might even make it into 2 or 3 post to get all the pictures up. Our group has been busy in the last few months.....with summer holidays, a wedding and a birth of a grandchild, designing and preparing for classes ..... so hopefully you all understand the tardiness of the blog person here. So on to the pictures....Our July exchange theme was humour, August was a sketch, September was Halloween/Goth, and October was a sketch. Enjoy the pictures, and hopefully I can now start keeping the blog up-to-date with postings. In this post I will show you the July card exchange....thanks for your patience and for visiting us here.

June's Card Exchange

Happy Long Weekend to All! Yes I have been neglecting my duties as a blogger again...I have no excuses, just been busy with everything and nothing. June's card exchange challenge/theme was a sketch, using a sketch from the pdf archives - June 2006 on the Pagemaps site; our card exchange group came up with some amzing cards again. Looking forward to our next exchange theme which is Humour. Here are our cards. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Long Weekend and Nice weather!

Hope everyone had a great Victoria Day weekend, the pictures are a couple from my family get-together where we do a pot luck dinner and let some fireworks off at night.The weather was the best we have had in such a long time....it was a great day.

Our next card exchange is a sketch challenge so I will be posting them after our next meet. Enjoy the nice weather, have a great week!

YEAH! YIPPEE!! YAHOOO!!!

Okay, so you can tell my title that I'm a little happy......."Little Man Russell" didn't get ONE vote(looks good on him) last night at final tribal council....he came third this time....thats even one worse then the last time he played its got to tell him something.....I was on the edge of my seat and my thoughts all night were if HE wins....never, ever again will I watch this show.....but alas the panel of jury came through....LOL

So onto the card-making part of this blog......the card exchange group met on Sunday May 2 and the theme for this month was GET WELL. I may say this everytime but I really mean it.....what a great set of cards we got this month. We had a new member join us which is really awesome, some fresh creativity and ideas for all of us to learn from. Welcome, Welcome!!!

Next months theme is a sketch challenge. Looking forward to all the cards!


Cardzgal and I were away at the Great Lakes Mega Meet in Novi, Michigan on May 5-8, had a wonderful busy time....saw lots of great ideas, even bought a few things for scrapping and cardmaking....can't wait to try them out. We watched "Survivor" in our hotel room, but didn't exchange cards that show.....but we do have 2 other card exchanges, one from an earlier show that I haven't posted yet and from last nights show. I guess when the next season of "Survivor" begins it will be our all Christmas card exchange.....looking forward to it!

So here are the card exchange group cards and the "Survivor" mini card exchange. Enjoy!
