Card Exchange

-


I got the cards back from my card exchange. Yeah! One of the things I want to do when the kids get back into school is make a ton of cards and replenish my supply. I have completely gotten out of the habit of sending impromptu cards. I really want to develop that habit again.

My friend used to do a card making night at her house and I loved having homemade cards on hand whenever I needed one. I'm not crafty myself so I can't do it alone! Yours are super cute.

What a neat swap! I love to make card too and am eagerly waiting for PreK to start so I can replenish my supply too.

They are so cute. I need to stock up on my cards also. It is so hard to find the time to do it. It seems like once you whip eveything out, then you have to put it away. Unless of course you are blessed with a craft room. Not me! Too many kiddies! :)

how about this for it being a small world...

Kris V. brought all of your cards to our meeting tonight showing them off as to how darling they are and maybe we could do something like that. I saw your beautiful pink card, and I was... "Hey... I know the artist of this beauty!"

It was really cool.

I used to be so much better at handwritten notes. You have inspired me to get back in the habit as well!

I confess, I don't know how I ended up on your blog, and I don't know you, but what cute cards those are. If you enjoy homemade cards and card exchanges I have a card exchange that I host which is every month and I have one open spot if you'd be interested. Here's the web address of one of my posts that explain the rules of my card exchange. http://hwstevens.blogspot.com/2007/05/card-exchange.html

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

I can't believe it, as of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year! On the outside not much has changed: I have 3 boys, live in the same house, my man has the same job, and I still go to Mavens, book club, and dinner club with the same fab friends. But in reality a lot has changed: * Davis has braces * Davis is now medicated * Dylan has been diagnosed with ADHD and is now medicated {{a hit to my ego}} * Finished Mommy & Me gymnastics with Drake * Drake is talking a little * Drake is in a big boy bed - although still not sleeping through the night * Jason's going to school to get his MBA * Executive Homemaker which took over a year to design and 5 years as a concept is 15 months old and has 2,333 members and growing at a rate of 300+ new members every month. * Executive Homemaker's online store has grown from three to 26 Mom- prenuers ! * Tip Junkie is 11 months old * My house is a little prettier and more organized * My Dad is divorced * My brother Scott came home...
