Can you believe it? I flew thousands of miles from Camisano Italy to a small town in New Mexico and I only brought 2 suitcases. ONE of them was my carry-on with clothes in. The other ONE was full of crafting supplies...deco paper, cardstock, impression dies, PTI dies, stamp sets, ink cubes, and various & sundry other items that are very important for creating.

I am trying to spend a little time creating. My goal this year is to focus more on my craft and attempt to be published. Can't do that if I am not creating. So here is what I created this week. (Probably won't get the chance tomorrow and I am only getting about 2-3 hours a day so I have to be PRODUCTIVE).

I am really enjoying channeling Betsy Veldman and a wee bit of Mel Phillips. This has been fun stepping out of my box and it is actually coming easier and easier. I think I may have found a niche for myself. I actually was able to knock out 2 cards today in about 1.5 hours. A record for me.

Be sure to leave love if you are so inclined! I know I appreciate all the kind words and comments.
