Happy Thanksgiving!

Please have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving.

Hopefully, I'll spend the day organizing my craft supplies and be back in crafting mode soon. Thank you for visiting my site. Please let me know if you are still unable to get post updates.

Origami card

My upline Teri always does fun cards.  I was so inspired one morning that I tried to duplicate her card on my lunch hour, lol.  Her origami card tutorial is on her sidebar. It says to fold a 8 1/2" by 11" equally into thirds, then again. I did that and here is the result with the scraps that I found at my desk.

This was my first one so I think that I'm now inspired to try another one. Thanks for visiting and have a beautiful day.

 

RAK from Cami

Cami gave me this cute RAK over the weekend.  I was so surprised and thrilled. Cami makes these beautiful cards so I was thrilled to receive this Joy Gatefold Card.  I am really loving this color combo.  I can't believe that I've only known Cami since earlier this year, we share so many similarities that I feel that I've known her longer. I'm sure that we crafters all feel that way about each other now that we've shared via our blogs.

A quick peek inside since it's just as pretty as the outside!

 And, there was still more in the bag as I peeked inside!

Thank you for visiting my blog.  Still can't believe how quickly the days are going. Yesterday, my co-worker asked me if I had some extra "construction paper" for our Christmas tree display. The 14 ft. tree will be brought in on the day after Thanksgiving, all through fund-raising and it'll be fully decorated by the following Monday. I will be posting some Christmas ornament shots in upcoming weeks. I haven't co-chaired this committee in 2 years but I still enjoy helping out.  Have a great week!

From my OCS partner

I received my OCS card earlier this week from Kyoko.  I was a little nervous since she had just won the featured Aloha Blogger so Kyoko's obviously an expert crafter.  I was so thrilled when I opened my card, as she thoughtfully created a waterfall card made with little smirk images.  We had learned the technique a few weeks back from Teri for Halloween when we got together for lunch.

Isn't it the most cutest card? The crafters are truly the most funny, generous and warm-hearted people that I have ever met. I'm truly fortunate. Have a beautiful weekend!

Kooky exchange

I participated in a "Kooky exchange" last Friday amongst 30 other players at work. Here are some of the goodies that I received. We used the word "Kooky" because it could be a baked good, craft or anything minimum of a dollar.

We got so much goodies that we were provided a Home Depot bag to store the non-perishable items. The last shot is a peek into my bag!

I'll be posting my craft OCS tomorrow, after my partner Kyoko receives hers in the mail. Til then, please be safe & have fun crafting.
