201st Blog Post! Cards and Card-making...

I would in no way refer to myself as a card maker or someone who makes cards often. I occasionally make them, but it is not something that I have a passion for. I would say that it is a good outlet for me to use my glitter obsession. My sister Marcie has an entire room in her house devoted to stamping. I can admit that I am jealous of this room because it is organized very well and has an abundance of natural light.

My good friend Diane, who lives in Arizona, is someone who I would call a card-maker. She has been making fabulous cards for years and I am envious of her skills. She uses quite a few different techniques and it has been wonderful to see her skills progress over the years. Her cards have always been beautiful, but she has really perfected her techniques.

I bring up my friend Diane because her birthday was last month and I was so busy that I did not get a chance to send her a birthday gift or even her card. I have them I just did not send them. I must also say that Diane is the most thoughtful person I know. She seizes every opportunity to send a card and gift and I must also admit that I am most envious of Diane's thoughtfulness. If I could only be 1/2 as thoughtful as she is than I would be a much better person. I am very lucky to have her as a friend.

Here are a few examples of cards that I have made over the years. I know I have posted them on this blog, but here they are again.















I have years worth of Diane's cards, but in my rush to get to work this morning I only found these two. I have them on the wall of my craft room. Diane absolutely loves Halloween.
