Hi everyone - on Thursday my sister and I hauled out the craft supplies to make thank you cards. Tami has plenty of people to thank - lovely neighbors, dear relatives and sweet friends who brought food or housed relatives, sent flowers or gave moral support during these tough times. Tami is more of a scrapbooker than a card maker but she asked me to help her make some cards. I thought it would be very healing and it was! I have accumulated many supplies that I leave at her house, plus I usually bring a few stamp sets. She says she can only create when I'm in the room for inspiration but I'm sure she could do it on her own too! Here we are creating:
Here's about 1/2 of the cards we created together:
We used some wonderful Hero Arts clear and wood block sets, especially an excellent 2013 release CL663 Thanks a Bunch. I had Tami repeat some of the designs if they were going to different areas. Then I stayed busy creating while she addressed the envelopes. And, of course, here's a shot of our messy crafting table:Here's about 1/2 of the cards we created together:
This mess was over at my parents' house earlier in the week, then I cleaned it all up and created a new version at my sister's house - LOL! And they didn't even mind that I left it messy for several days as I continued creating. We did a lot of running around to the post office, the outlet mall, for lattes, etc. so I didn't get a chance to publish this until today. Crafting is great therapy - it really helped to heal as we personalized the thank you cards for the people who sympathized & shared with us. Thanks for stopping and hope you have a safe and crafty weekend.
