Saturday Morning Coffee

Oh Good morning!!

I have been away for a couple of days and have I had a few problems. My system crashed and I had to restore the whole thing! Have ever had to do that? OMG pain in the you know what! I think I have everything back up and running.

So, I sold one of my adorable 'Lady Card and Earring' cards, which inspired me to make a few more. I went to my local Michaels and found some more cute paper. I have to say, the paper skirt and the earrings match perfectly! Some of the outfits I want to wear.

As a child, I played with a lot of paper dolls. I even created new outfits for them and maybe this is where it all came from. I am almost playing dress up again.

So take a look at a few colors I came up with! Let me know what you think!!!

Here are 4 new designs. I have posted a couple more in my shop. Be my guest to take a look and purchase one of these adorable cards for your mother on her very special day!

Monday Morning Chatter

Good Morning!

Well, it's almost afternoon! My beautiful niece is visiting me! I love it when we have sleep overs! Last night we were watching a movie and all through the movie it was, "why are they doing that?!" "Why are they going that way?!" It was pretty funny! I got so sleepy, but she wanted to stay up and finish watching the movie. Uncle Curt stayed up with her. Thanks Uncle Curt.

This morning, she was up at 6:30! Wow! Early bird catches the worm, huh?! Day started out having hot cocoa. Actually, Tayah had hot cocoa and Auntie Kim had coffee! Uncle Curt fixed her some egg whites and some OJ, popped in Madagascar and we were set!

Later on, we went into the craft room to create some cards. She loves making cards! It's so much fun to work together and she helps me with my designs and I help her with hers.

In this picture, Tayah is making a birthday card for one of her friends. She wanted to have the birthday candles added to a cake. She needed Auntie Kim to draw her a birthday cake and put it on a table. (That was a bit of a challenge!) Tayah penciled in the frosting and added a bit of color to it.

Look at the concentration, the steady hand!

Tayah has a vivid imagination and she loves making gifts for all her family and friends. Here is the end result! She is so very proud of this card and she can't wait to give it to her friend for her birthday!

Crazy4Cards has a new little designer in training!


It was my pleasure sharing with you my visit with my niece! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I love sharing it with you.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hugs,
Kim

Thursday Night Cocoa

Aww! Thursday evening and the house is so very quiet. All I hear is the clock ticking and it is so very Peaceful!

So I thought I would come in and show you some of my new creations. I am having a hot cup of cocoa to just melt the tensions of the day away.

Today I began to create some Mother's Day Cards. I know the favorite in my shop around this time a year are my "Lady Card and Earring Sets".

Here is a couple I posted today in my shop.

The earrings below the picture is to give my customers the opportunity to switch the set if they'd like. I like all the sets, but this will give them the option.

Come on to my shop and see the other's I posted today!

Have a great night!

Monday Morning Chat

Quiet down Baby!

Doesn't she look relaxed?! This is baby, my 10 year old Siamese. You know how chatty a siamese can be. We here is a little tid bit on how you quiet down a chatty cat!

No matter how much attention I give our cat, she still meows and yowls all...day...long. The best way I found to hush my talkative feline? I ignored her when she was having one of her fits. Once she was silent for about 10 minutes, I rewarded her good behaviour by saying something like, "Oh, what a good Baby!" then would begin petting and playing with her. She soon started associating being calm and quiet with positive reinforcement, and she ended the nonstop chatter.

Baby has been such a joy in our family. She originally was a Easter present for my husband who had broken both the bones in one of his legs. This had been the second time he had broken those bones, both times from construction accident. Anyway, I knew this little ball of fur would keep him company while he mended. She was a spit fire too! He kept saying she was a "pain in the butt!" but kept him intertained all the while.

Animals have such a purpose and we should always take care of our pals! Thanks for stopping in and reading my tid-bit for the day!

Have a wonderful Monday!

Hugs,
Kim

Thank you Thank you !

So many people have gotten away from sending thank you notes when receiving a gift. Tradition has it when you receive your wedding gifts, baby shower gifts, birthday, you name it. Sending a small note of gratitude is not only a friendly gesture, but a should be a sincere "Thanks" for thinking about my special day.

I have made several packages of different types of "Thank you" notes card sets. They have been a big success. I wanted to share with you two more sets I made today. You can tell me what you think if you want. I love comments. Constructive feedback is always helpful.

I hope you enjoy them and "Thank You" for stopping by!

Hugs,
