Now Taking Orders

I have always considered myself a pretty crafty person. I like to use my creative juices to fashion pieces of artwork either on paper with sharpies (when we get our printer working I'll have a visual for this) or using paper for scrap-booking. It's fun, relaxing and I really enjoy it! Recently, I started making cards. You've heard of 'em: given on special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, just because. I've done it in the past but sporadically. I think moving to Dallas and having some down time has been the major contributor to my production increase. I decided to make all of our Christmas cards this year, too. Stay on my good side, continue reading here and you might get one yourself. I've already started and must say it's been a little more frustrating than I expected. Maybe because I'm making more than I've ever made for one purpose? I'm a bit of a perfectionist, too. Makes things like this difficult. Yes it does.

So on my last card-making venture, I did Autumn-themed cards. If you know me at all, you know my love for all things Fall run deep. I attached them below for your viewing enjoyment. They were SO fun to make! If it wasn't for actually wanting to send them to the girls I sent them too, I was going to keep them, buy matching frames, display them, and get them out again next year. Maybe I'll do that at a later date.I want to take a poll. If you will, vote for which card is your favorite. They will be numbered 1-6 in the order they appear here. It will help me create the best looks for my Christmas cards. Will you help me? Look for the poll on the right side of the page. I'll keep it open for a week and announce the winner! If you don't see it, it's because I couldn't figure out how to do it. Bummer.

You are so talented! I love that you are making cards. And, our commissioning service bulletin that you layed out and framed is in our bedroom so, we get to look at it each day. Love it...always reminds me of you.
