Hey there.....
  It is Wednesday afternoon and I am sitting at my Silhouette Cameo, sketching Ballet shoes I need for a swap.
  I am loving the 3 Girl Jam bow maker that my friend Donna turned me on to. You can see her creations at
http://createdbydonnak.blogspot.com/. I met Donna a long time ago when both our husband were in the Marine Corps and stationed in NC. We met through a mutual friend and have been friends ever since. She is one of my inspirations as I move through this crafty journey. My other inspiration is my sister Karen. She encourages me and urges me on and challenges me to try different things,
Now for some pictures, although this card is not done yet, I want to share it anyway.I still have some
decoupage elements to add to it.

  This is all for today....have a great night.

Here are some OWH cards I have done......






There are more that I have done, but these ar my favorites right now.
I'm back.....been a while, but here I am.  Hoping to get back to posting more and crafting more. I have begun making cards for OWH (Operation Write Home). It is an organization that collects homemade cards and sends them to troops overseas, so they can keep in touch with their loved ones at home. It is a worthwhile organization and as the wife of a retired Marine, I think  that doing this is a morale booster to both the Service member and his or her family and friends back home.

 We lost our dog in April and my oldest brother in May so try as I might I am still having a hard time with both losses.

 So on with the crafting. I will start posting pictures tonight of what I have done so far. Mostly cards for now. I am in to making box cards and love doing so. I will post some later.

This is all for now. happy scrappin'
