New cards!


I think that paper has become an addiction for me. I spread out dozens of sheets across the floor and drool. I sit and stare at paper. I hold it in my hands. I marvel at the range of colors and patterns. And then I panic when I've only got a little bit of something particularly beautiful left. I always want more until I find the next most beautiful paper. It's a never ending cycle. Thank goodness there is an endless supply of lovely papers out in the world to feed my addiction.

Speaking of feeding an addiction...I recently had lunch with my friend Carol, who has a heart as wide as the world. One of her many talents is baking and she described to me a cherry pie she'd baked that had my mouth watering. I came home and couldn't help myself...I just had to make a cherry pie card for her! It's hard to tell in the photo, but the "cherries" are red glass beads. Yummy!

Imagination is everything



I've been hard at work...okay, hardly at work, but either way, I'm having fun. Here is a new bookmark with an imprinted quote on the back. Everyone looks at the front of a bookmark, so I love the idea of a little surprise for those that turn it over.

The lovely Nancy Gallagher, Regional Coordinator of the Jane Austen Society of North America SW, has asked me to participate in their annual spring meeting in May. I am so excited! I'll be making a lot of new cards and plenty of the new quote bookmarks just for this event.
