Wishing All a Healthy Happy New Year!

Hello Everyone, A new year is upon us and I get excited in hopes of setting goals for myself and carrying them out.. first i want to wish everyone a wonderful Happy New Year.. may your year be everything you want it to be.. may you be surrounded by loved ones and always be happy! My health was not what i expected for 2010 therefore i wasn't able to blog much but hoping and wishing 2011 will be different and I am really going to try my best to blog more and craft more. I didn't craft at all this year.. my health just didn't let me.. it is frustrating at times but I am really going to try to change it. I think with hope you can accomplish anything! At least I HOPE so! So to start myself off right this new year, I have joined in on a very cute Valentine Swap.. to create Valentines and exchange them.. i think will be so much fun as i love Valentine's Day so much! Sweet Elizabeth of Bluebird's PaperCrafts has hosted this adorable Dolly Dingle Valentines swap and I look forward to getting back to crafting! I also want to get back to needle felting as well this year.. i miss it so much!! So many ideas in my head.. i have been writing them all down so i don't forget them. And most of all.. i want to blog more! I miss all of my friends here at blogland so much! So hopefully you will be getting visits from me this year!! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and I hope all the goals that you have set for the new year will come true! Happy 2011!!! Can you believe it? Hugs, Linda

Crafty Carnival Card Swap!

Hi Everyone, I was so happy to be able to join in on this card swap.. it got me out of bed and crafting.. took a bit out of me but it was worth it! I had alot of fun making the cards! I decided to make them all occasion and thought you would like to see the ones I made. I took my time and paced myself and enjoyed every minute of it! It was the first time I have crafted this year! Hope you like the cards I made and I will be sure to show you the cards I also get from the swap!

Thank you for peeking! Hugs, Linda

Crafty Carnival Card Swap!

Hi Everyone, It has been a long time and I am sorry I have been missing in blogland but I am just recovering from a horrible heart infection ( pericarditis) caused by the Lyme/Lupus... it hit me right before the New Year and it has taken me months to get back on my feet again.. I am doing a bit better due to alot of rest, and a new doctor who has been helping me quite a bit. I hope it lasts. I have decided to join a swap... i haven't played with paper in a while ..well i haven't really crafted at all this year yet so it should be fun and get my mind going which I need very badly. Missy at Crafty Carnival is having a very cute card making swap... you make 10 cards and send them to her and you will receive 10 cards back from different artists which will be great.. you can always use some cards in the house. I have missed all of you here and hopefully I will be here more often now and will get back to seeing what is going on in your blogs as well! I am truly looking forward to it! I will show my cards when i am finished..wish me luck!! Hugs, Linda
