My Favorite "Mo" Make of 2014

First off, to be fair, I only made a handful of cards early this year.  I think maybe 6 of them were with Mo's images.  It doesn't feel like I should be entering this challenge but I LOVE Mo's images and I've decided its time to start making my cards again because I love it so much and have been missing it.  I scrolled back through my blog (it truly only took a couple minutes) and picked this cute guy as my favorite.  I need to see if I still have this card because I don't remember if I gave him away or not.

 I made this card in January.  It's like seeing an old friend :)  He is called Dream.  I colored him with my Prismacolor pencils.  Gosh, I miss those things.  I'm going to dig through my boxes and pull them out. 
 Here's the front of the card.  I will save you from the whole description again.  If you are interested you can visit the original post here.



I will be trying my hand at coloring again.  If all goes well I will post a card in a few days.  If not, it might be a while longer.  If you have stopped by after all this time I thank you.  I am slowly making my rounds to all your blogs as well.

I am entering my card in the challenge at Mo's Challenge Blog.

I think that's about it.  Thanks for taking a peek!

Blessings & Hugs,

It Has Been So Long!

I'm not quite sure I remember how to post on my blog!  Time has been flying for me this year.  In May we sold our house and in August we bought my dream home.  It is a 2200 square foot, 200 year old Civil War looking house.  We have 9 foot ceilings, old wood floors, even floor and ceiling "locks"on the library doors (yes, we have a small library).  It is my dream to have a my studio in a separate structure on our property and right now I do not have a sewing/craft room in the house.  I work part time for a friend's quilt shop and I bring lots and lots of sewing home.  I sew at the kitchen table and my stuff is tucked on the enclosed porch when I finish for the day.  After having a sewing room for 20 years I am missing my space.  However, I am so in love with my home that I don't mind the inconvenience.

I sat down to look at some paper crafting blogs today and decided I need to dig out my pencils and buy some new images to play with.  I really miss making my cards and even though I am extremely busy working, sewing and still home schooling my two boys I am determined to make some cards.  I keep saying I need to figure out how to get by on less sleep :) 

If you have stopped by wondering what happened to me….now you know.  I fell in love with a house and I have made it my home :)

I will be making my rounds to visit all of you in the next few weeks.  I miss seeing what you have been up to and what lovely things you are creating.

I think that's about it.  Thanks for taking a peek!

Blessings & Hugs,
