How to create a Hydrangea from the Thoughtful Branches Bundle







another pretty card I might try to CASE

  • I am currently doing the most awful pre procedure prep. Clear fluids for four days and laxatives for five days, and then the "bomb" of all laxatives on the last day. Wish me luck today!
  • No energy the past while and have yet to be able to clean my house. I have decided I need help and am looking into that. Just 1-2 times a month. See how it goes.  Extravagant maybe? Or better for my stress, health and well being.
  • Loving all this washi tape that I have collected. Can't wait to start using them on cards and other projects. Michaels had them on 50% off last week so yes, you know it; I filled up the other container. Not sure what to do, order another one or store the excess tapes in a pretty bowl for the time being. I do like things being kept organized in my studio.  
  • I have a friend coming over on Thursday to card make and stamp and I am looking forward to that. She is my SU demonstrator so I'm hoping to learn some tricks from her.  And then maybe I can post some of MY work on the blog. lol.  Tell me, do you like the videos I post on the blog? I like it because I can go back easily and get that idea to try a certain project.  A mini class in my home.  
  • Work has been going ok. I am getting Palliative training in two months. I am disappointed to have missed the last two classes. But it is what it is and so move forward.  I don't think I will have the hours to write my CNA certificate renewal in two years.  That was a lot of work that I put in for that certificate and I wish I could have kept it.  My passion is Palliative ICU and I miss it very much.
  • The kittens are very active and have literally destroyed my home. I guess part of it is my fault for not training them well enough? , being gone for 12 hours at a time and I wonder, if they just have it in their genes. Maybe they are part feral, who knows. When they are calm and cuddling, it is the best feeling in the world. And then I look at all the mess they have created and I want to break down and cry.  I used to take pictures of them all the time but they don't really let me know, too fast paced. Three year old kitten cats. My pumpkins.
  • Oh gosh, I am so hungry!!!!

I finally got my order from Amazon last night, same kind as the video below described. I LOVE it!!!  Holds about 90 rolls of Washi tape.  So pretty to look at.  I bought two and am sure I will eventually need a third, down the line. lol.
