Sometimes You Just Need a Little Nudge

Hello my dear readers. I know, I have a lot to answer for. There has been a huge gap between today's date and the date that I left off. I could lie to you and say that I've been away in Europe having the time of my life. OR I can be honest with you and say that I hit a creative dry spell and my get-up-and-go picked up and went. Every time I sat down at my desk to create, I just couldn't put anything together. Well, nothing that I liked anyway.

And then I got a call today...a message really. My friend Esther wanted to know what's going on with my blog? Whoa, I actually have someone who reads it because they want to and not because I bribed them to? Well, I have to tell you, that put a spring in my step. I didn't create this blog for recognition. I did it because I love what I do and if someone out there reads what I write, well it's always gravy. It's always a nudge in the right direction if someone actually wants to see what you're up to next. And for that, my dear Esther, I say thanks.

My UPS man will be coming to visit me next week with a bundle of new supplies and I am on pins and needles waiting to experiment. There's nothing better than unwrapping a box of goodies!

Here are two cards that I did for some friends. The first one is from the Open Sea stamp set which is in the Summer Mini (you only have until the end of August!) and the House & Home stamp set which is in the new 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalogue. I love it because of how retro it is and you know me, anything old fashioned, I love!

Happy stamping!
