Oh yeah, I have a blog...

So I obviously need to come up with a better system to remind me to keep this up to date!  One of my favorite cooking blogs, Plain Chicken  does a Meow Monday where she just posts pictures of her 3 cats.  She doesn't post pictures of her children on her blog. I've always thought that was a cute, fun way to have something consistent in the blog even when you don't have much else to say that day.  So I was thinking of borrowing her idea and doing a Furry Friday.  That might help me remember to post on my blog!  I won't want it to be all about my fur babies, because people will start thinking I'm that crazy lady with tons of animals.  We will see if this can help me post more regularly.

I got my first real commission.  My aunt wrote a lovely poem years ago when my grandfather passed away.  She prints it on cardstock and sends it to bereaved friends and family when they are in need.  She asked me to make card fronts with her poem on the inside.  I've been making sympathy and I'm praying for you, cards all week.  

I needed some breaks from all the somber, serious cards.  I made my cousin Matt a fun Pittsburgh Steelers card for his birthday.  I made my brother a similar one, but with Mariners.  I wasn't sure of Matt's baseball team, so I stuck with what I knew, he is a major Steeler's fan.

I made my mom a cute card she needed for a 2 year old's birthday.  I had so much fun with this one!  I just used my phone's camera, so not too great.  I had fun with my copic markers on this.  I need more brown shades.  I would like to get more depth to the bear.  This super cute stamp is from Lili of the Valley.  Her store is in the UK, but totally worth the shipping charges. 

 Oh and here is the cutest snuggly picture!  Darcie was cold so she tried to snuggle up with Skecher.  Sad part is a few moments after I took the picture he got irked and moved to another nap spot.  Silly boy.
