Hello my pretties...

Even if I eventually end up talking just to myself on this blog, I will still pretend you are all here... This blog seems to be just another one of those things on my list that gets a little attention but not near as much as I would like. Don't get me wrong...going back to work was a great move for me. Each day I feel more confident and have shook a lot of the cobwebs out with all the things I learn about the company I work for and the expectations that come with a managerial position.

This is my "Merlie" card. After watching her make a card with her flower punches, I created some too (although my card has a radically different design and color scheme. I love those flowers and now I think I might have to track down that bigger flower punch (since I already have the little one!). Oh yeah...that stamp is from Nancy and so are the pearls...I pretty much steal everything from the Cal-gals when given a chance!

Positive note of the day: Got some news about Ave. Good news but still part of the spectrum of challenges we are dealing with...

Allison, your flowers I thought were wooden as they looked carved. How did you do that? I loves them! I am off to visit Avery and her sibs. Been behind for a while. I need a smile tonight.
