I spent today working on some Iris Fold cards - I bought a kit and made all 8 of their styles then got creative with some of my own paper and designs - I posted pictures under Greeting Cards General.  Will make some more soon, they were fun and I found a bunch of paper I can use, has to be thin paper, and I don't have much of that, but did find some that I think will make some neat designs.

I also worked on organizing my dog breed cards, I had half made some before we tore up the office to put down new floor, paint and put in a new desk for me, so I finished those and took pictures to post on the website, now I have most of them made for the craft fair, I think still 8 breeds that I have not made, but will not have time to finish those if I want to take cat cards also.  We leave for Myrtle Beach vacation on Tuesday morning and don't return until Sunday, the craft fair is the following Saturday and Sunday, so I will not have much time between now and then to make any extra cards, will try and make one more design tomorrow.  I have 2 new Mother Day cards plus what I made last year that were left over, need a fathers day design.

I wanted to make some decorative gift card boxes, but I don't think I'll have time for those, just not enough hours in the day any more, actually, I don't think there ever were enough hours in the day for me!! LOL

OK, off to start packing for trip now.

Until next time . . .

I know, I haven't posted in a while, been a crazy year so far, started the year out sick, got better and got sick again.  Been busy at work, trying to catch up after being out for almost 4 weeks sick with working a week in between, but the highlight of my life has been re-arranging our office - mum and I share our office, and now, I have one side of the room and she has the other - it's wonderful, I can spread my card designs out and have easy access, I have a great new desk that hides so much stuff I forget where I put it - it's fabulous! 

So, the last few weeks I've been working on my designs for upcoming craft fairs.  Next one is April 30th and May 1 at the Historic Triangle Community Service Building on Waller Mill Road, Williamsburg, this is the Colonial Williamsburg Employee/Retiree/Volunteer craft fair - lots of great artists, the room is full of some much creativity it's amazing, you have to stop by if you are in the area, it's 10 to 5 both days.  I'll be selling general greeting cards and my dog breed cards.

Then I'll be at Chippokes Tracker and Steam Engine Festival the first weekend in June - it's usually VERY hot that weekend so we are taking my mum's RV and will camp out there for 2 nights, then we have access to AC when it's too hot, but don't have to drive all the way back home Saturday night!

At the moment, no others are scheduled for the rest of the summer, I have signed up for some in the fall, but I'm hoping to get another summer one in there if I can.

I hope 2011 is starting out well for everyone, don't forget to link me on your facebook page!
