I forgot to mention since I was caught up in posting my first picture that I'm so stoked to be attending Stamp Club tomorrow at my Stampin' Up demonstrators house. I can't wait!! After making all those cards for Christmas I got a bit burned out, but I'm ready to get motivated again.
I need to get some ideas for some pick-me-up cards for some dear friends of my moms. Both of whom are in poor health. So, I'm looking forward to the club for many reasons. To get me out of the house, get me re-motivated, and give me inspiration for some lovely women who need it. Looking forward to seeing Mary and the other Friday Stamp Club gals. YAY!
In other news today: I've been trying to update the layout/template of my blog all day today. Grrr. I wanted to change it, but apparently I can't. At least not right now. What a bummer. And I don't know anything about this kind of stuff. Hopefully soon.
Here's a plug for Mary: Mary's Stampin' Up! Website

Ceremonial First Post
Well. Here I am in the world of bloggers (Yay me, right?). Not sure that anyone will be interested in what I have to offer, but I do want a place to call "home" for the cards and other things that I have started to create.
I'm new at all this crafty stuff. Particularly at card-making. But I really dig it. I found that I was spending a small fortune at Hallmark and Papyrus to buy the kinds of cards I wanted for the people I cared about. I was just spending way, way too much moolah and thought to myself, "Self, you can probably do this! You have a crafty side!"
So once I moved to Californ-i-ay to be with my stud-muffin boyfriend (he's so gonna kill me when he reads that...ha! - OR he'll looove it!) I decided to look more into how to take on this crafty feat of making cards. I contacted one of my crafty friends back in my home state of Nevada and asked her, "Uhhh..hey...I wanna make cards. What do I do?" Of course she thought I was a bit silly, like, I should just know, y'know? But she gave me some great advice..."Have you looked into Stampin' Up?" I had no clue what or who they were...but my journey had just begun.
I'll be posting pics and stuff of some of my creations. This is fun for me...all this crafty crap. ;) I can't promise to post something everyday or anything like that. But I hope that this will spur on my creative-flow.
Now I just need to figure out how to work this place called the Blogosphere! Wish me luck...yikes!
