Simple goals

This being retired thing is new for me, well for both of us really.

I now have time to do some crafting on a regular

basis......which means I really should set some personal

goals....work at it daily.  It may not have to be a 

big project, but I need to work at it.

Sometimes, something simple, sometimes

a bit more time consuming.

First up, Peony Cottage from SVGCuts.com

 I love their stuff, really I do, as if you couldn't tell already.

This one was pretty easy actually.  I believe it was actually

the first 'box' that she created......it's small and cute.

With crafting there needs to be supplies.  Since we no longer

live in a large city, that can be a bit of a challenge....planning really.

There's a Hobby Lobby a couple of hours away, so

when we are going to Costco to stock up we made a quick

run to HL (thanks hubby!) and I bought a 

few items, paper mostly but some dodads here and there.

Here's a card a made for a friend that I worked with.  I had

3 good friends at work and I try to send them something

every so often.  I thought this card was just

too cute .

And of course, I did one for my mother this morning.

 What really made me happy about this one is that I was

able to create a monogram for the back of my cards

to personalize it some.  I bought these fonts from MightDeals.

I actually created a couple of monograms.

Well, that's my work so far....wish me luck!
