My thought for today:
Never stay up until 6am blogging when you are supposed to be helping
your sister move at 10. It's just not smart. lol
(Yes, I'm laughing on the outside and crying on the inside...)

I found a cool challenge blog by way of Jennifer Rzasa's blog, (Thanks, Jennifer) it's called:
This week's challenge is to post your first wedding card. Now they don't specify if it is the first you ever made or the first you ever posted. In my case the first one I ever made I would have no record of because I did not always photograph my cards. So this card is the first one I ever posted. It was very interesting scrolling back through my past original blog entries to look at all of the cards I have posted in the past two years. When I very first started, I didn't even know how to edit my cards so I posted them all sideways. lol (yes, really!) The time has flown by, and I haven't always been consistent, but I started my blog at a very unstable time for me. It was right after the break up of my marriage. So this was like the one thing I did for me. I wanted to make it about the craft to have a happier focus. But from time to time as I reviewed in search of that wedding card, I saw some other life events pop into my blogging. Well, I'm still here, and I think I have grown a lot in this blogging adventure. And the best part is, I have made some great friends... as a whole new world has opened up to me that I certainly never knew existed.
So here's the card:
Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your visit and your comments. : )
Up until 6 am blogging...well, sheesh, I gotta tell you...that sounds glorious.....hope that you're power napping now:)
ReplyDeleteI am soooo glad that you found Flashback Friday! I chuckled because when I popped over to your original blog post, I noticed that I had left you a comment...your card was for a 365 Cards challenge and I was on the design team at that time...small world, eh?
First I'll type about your card and then I'd like to comment about the other things you brought up. I adore your wedding card...such a fine use of layering...wow...you really made that heart POP. Top it off with the classic color combo and the fancy smancy wire work, you've gotta beauty!
I truly believe in the power of blogging...the joy of creating...the joy of sharing....the joy of the blogging community. I believe that you started your blog at thee perfect time in your life. I think as women, we tend to do so much for others that we forget about ourselves...blogging is a wonderful outlet...creatively and emotionally.
Well, have a super day....sooooo glad that you decided to join in the Flashback Friday fun:)

ReplyDeleteHi Rae,
ReplyDeleteYou are so very right about blogging... we all seem to have found a niche for ourselves where we get so much love and appreciation. Just a soft pillow in this big, big world.
Now to your card... it is so sweet. Love the hand torn effect and the layering.
