I just love being able to create new cards! I feel like my creativity is overflowing at times! And, as of late that's how it's been like all the time...I have my big kitchen counter set up as my card making station right now. It's temporarily cluttering up my kitchen, but it's for a good cause--at least I think it is a good cause! The 'good cause' is cards creatively designed & made by me! I moved my card making work station to the kitchen counter, because of my too inquisitive & helpful 15mo old. Shane likes to help me a little too much!) I decided to move my supplies up higher that way Shane can't 'help' w/my card-making!
I am making so many cards currently because I am doing a table at a craft show coming up on Nov. 14th at the school in Lima. I'm not sure what the traffic of people will be like--or if I will see a lot either. My main focus is to start getting out there w/my cards...to let people know what I enjoy doing and that I want to share that enjoyment w/them.
Well, take care for now--I'll try to post again sometime soon! I've got to get busy working on organizing my cards & how many more I need to make before the craft show...

Go & Find That Change!
This blog is supposed to help me w/my creativity in making cards, notebooks, scrapbooks, etc.. I think the title fits quite well for this, also. I need to 'go & find that change.' I came across an email from Lesley, my wombmate, that she sent me almost a year ago--it was April 14, 2009. She said, "So much change is about ready to come for you. Or it is more like you are going to it. You are going and finding that change!" Those words have really hit me so I felt like writing about them here on his creative blog of mine.
Change is not such a bad thing in life. Sometimes it just comes along--other times we go out and seek it--kinda like what my sister was referring to w/my move to Montana. I was embarking on a big change in my life. I had just gotten married to the love of my life the month before...and now, we(me, Dustin & Shane-our son) were moving 3 1/2 hrs away from family & living in the middle of nowhere for a new job. I would be a stay-at-home mom to Shane & that was something I'd never done before. I've always worked ever since forever.
Now a year later we are finding ourselves moving back to Idaho...and the feeling I get just knowing that is very calming. Moving back to where we're from--is comforting. It's also a change, but we will succeed in one way or another.
I have learned that change happens no matter what. We just have to learn how to handle it and figure out how to embrace it. As my sis said, we need to go out & find that change!
I hope all these changes in my life will influence me for the better so I can be the best person I possibly can. Change is good--that's what I keep telling myself. And, all these changes will help me in my creativity w/my card making & scrapbooking projects. Change brings about more change which in turn helps my creativity flow more into projects of my life & what matters to me or catches my interest.
So, let's all go out and find that change!
