The days after...

We had a very nice Christmas day with our Colorado family, and got to visit with our California family on FaceTime!  Hope that your holidays were blessed, as well!

Here are a few more of the cards that I made either at a class with the incredibly talented Ruth Petsel, or with kits that she puts together.

Enjoy!

Have a great weekend, and a wonderful New Year!

See you in 2025!

5 Days until Christmas!

So...hopefully, all your decorations are up, your guests are beginning to arrive, or you are headed someplace exciting, and all your shopping is done, because...there are only FIVE days until Christmas!

You are probably WAY too busy to be reading blogs, but I have a few more cards to share with you!

These are ALL cards from kits that I've gotten, or classes I've taken with my dear friend, Ruth Petsel.

Enjoy!!!  A few more will post next week.

Thanks for stopping by! 

Have an incredibly blessed Christmas, whether you are with family, friends, or home alone. I'll be thinking about you all, and wishing you good times!

Hugs and smiles,

Patti J.

One week later...

Well, here I am again!  

I have a few more 'blasts from the past' to share with you. I probably have enough of these to keep me posting all winter long!!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Hugs,

Patti J.

These were all created in a card class that one of my very favorite people, Ruth Petsel, taught.

Isn't she talented??? We have a great time gathering together as lovers of all things paper! 

Enjoy your weekend - I'll be back next week!

Hello friends!

I have a bunch of cards that I haven't shared, so I'm going to attempt to post a few now and then. Seems I rarely get time at the computer anymore - anyone else have that problem?  Anyway, here we go - a bit of this and a bit of that. Hope it brings a smile or two!

The 1st 4 pics are a card we made that was in one of Ruth Petsel's kits:

Some treat boxes I created:

 Wow!

It's been a long time since I've posted anything, and I have a HUGE amount of things to share!

Things have been a bit hectic here - I won't bore you with all the details, but WILL ask for you to be patient with me for the next 5 or 6 months.

So, here are some of the things that I sure thought I had posted!

If you have questions, please ask. Otherwise, I'll just do a few 'show and tell very little' posts!

These wee Easter favors were for the kids at church this year:

I made this one with various 'kit' pieces from Stampin' Up!

This was made with the Rainy Days Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up!

This was in one of my friend, Ruth Petzel's card kits - love it!

My friend, Cheryl Gammon, had a class, and this was one of her cards:

We had a 'Girl's Day In' a month or so ago to celebrate a couple of birthdays. We will do the next group of birthdays later this month.  We all brought a CAS (clean and simple) project to create, and this was my kit for the ladies:

This pic just shows all the unassembled kits...

Here's one more of Cheryl's pretty cards from her class:

Thanks for stopping by! I have about 5 more posts to make and will be caught up...ha ha!

So glad you're my crafty friends!

Food for thought: No one is guaranteed happiness. Life just gives each person time and space. It's up to us to fill that time and space with joy!

Oh my...it's been a minute!

So, here I am - needing to catch up again! 

I guess that's what my next few posts will be!!!

Seriously, thanks so much for being so patient with my non-posting, and non-commenting. Between a bit of traveling, and a WHOLE LOT of Dr. appointments, it seems I am spending less and less time in my girl cave - we have one more upcoming trip, then I hope to be back on a regular basis.

On a happier note - tomorrow will be our 50th wedding anniversary! Sheesh....can you believe anyone would put up with me for 50 years???  He is a good man, and I feel so blessed that God brought us together!  We are having a date night, and I'm hoping for a Lobster dinner!

Anyway, here are some more cards that I made in a class taught by my friend, Ruth. She comes up with some of the 'funnest' dies to create with!  Hope something you see makes you smile! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Tune in for catch-up, part 2 soon!!!

Hugs and blessings during this beautiful spring and Holy season!
