Sue's Sentiments

I just wanted to let you all know…..

There is a Winter Clearance Sale going on now through the end of March or while supplies last at Whimsy Stamps. Save on select winter themed products. No coupon codes necessary, discount prices are already marked.

Whimsy is now stocking Prima mulberry paper roses and bling and some charms and cherry blossoms.

Thankyou so much for the kind comments and encouragement. I really appreciate it. I’m FINALLY settled into the house. We’ve slept 2 nights here now and we are pretty settled. I have to get some boxes still unpacked in the garage but, the place is livable. I’m going to work on my craft room today b/c I’m having MAJOR withdrawal. Hopefully, I’ll even get to make a card here very soon. I am SO glad the moving is over. I have been literally going from morning until night. The stupid allergies are still there but, not as bad as they were when I started. The weather has been cold but, tolerable. I think it’s mostly the trees in bloom right now. Anyways, I’m rambling. I love y’all and I will hopefully be back up and running very soon!!

…..barely….LOL my allergies are making me so miserable and this lousy weather doesn’t help!!
I just wanted to let you know I’m knee deep in this moving process.

We start to move in tomorrow (sunday, February 28th) of COURSE on a rainy, cold day grrrr….but, anyways…I’m packing up my craft room today. I hope to be up and running by the end of next week. I haven’t even updated my blog since the 21st. Work has been nuts and I’m just trying to keep up! LOL anyhoo….I just wanted to let you know nothing’s wrong. Thanks for understanding.

I need a little “spring” in my step…LOL we’re getting ready to move to the new rental house…ugh…I’m so NOT looking forward to it but, it will be a nicer place to live nonetheless. Just to let you know too…my postings may slow down a little as we’re getting ready for this process. I’ll try to keep up as long as I can but, just wanted to forewarn you. Anyhoo…it’s been so chilly and miserable here I figured what better way to cheer up then to work on a spring card! I just love this little lovebug and tilda. I hope you like her as well. TFL!

Hi everybody. Well, I finally made a card. I slept in this morning b/c I was exhausted from the week and then felt the bite of the creativity bug. This is created for my blog group the Designing D.I.V.A.S. (devine,inspirational,virtuous,artistic(or annointed) sistahs! The lovely annie is hosting this round of our monthly challenge and created this lovely sketch to follow. I’m really pleased with the way it turned out AND I finally challenged myself to sew in a circle with some advice I received from a friend, sharon. Worked like a charm!
Thanks annie! Thanks sharon and TFL!!
