I'm still here!

Just a quick little post as to what I've been up to. With the holidays upon us, I'm back to making cards. Here are a few I made this morning, ready to send to my Mom, my Aunt Lucy and a computer generated card for my cousin Chris. I used Hallmark Card Studio, which I hardly ever, ever use, but I thought I'd give it a try again since I'm making cards. I much prefer to making my own with papers, embellishments, etc. I'll be making a few Christmas cards with photos on them for my family. I love old family photos.

Yes, that's me and my brothers on Thanksgiving Day (when we were little, of course). I think my Mom will get a kick out of this photo card. I'm so looking forward to spending time with my family on Thanksgiving. Should be really fun!

Here is some mail goodies I received recently . . . .

I ordered this adorable tumbler and bowl set a few weeks ago. I'm finally getting around to posting about it. The design is from Inside a Black Apple. My set came from Delight.com, they also have some other artists' bowls and tumblers. Very cool!

and on ebay I bought this fun potholder vintage transfer set by Aunt Martha, which I'm anxious to make very soon! Arn't they cute?

Okay, enough of my chit-chat. Have a great weekend and hope to post before the end of the week.

Embroidery transfers

Here's one of a few embroidery transfers that I posted on my flickr over the weekend.

I'm off to work, but I'll be back to posting a "real post" later today. See ya!

Sunday Ramblings

Well, I sure wish I had a scanner that works. I spent hours the other day trying to get the darn thing to work! I tried everything, but I think the bulb is out if that makes sense or it's just plain worn out! I've been wanting a new one, but have been putting it off because I don't know which to buy. I also want a printer that prints photos, too. What brought me to the scanner was while I was cleaning my craft room I opened one of my vintage Vogarts, Dutch Treat (an ebay purchase), and to my surprise there were a bunch of Workbasket transfers. Well, at least I think they're Workbasket. Anyway, the designs are so cute. Alot of cute kittys with the days of the week and other household chores. Then there are the cute silverware marching arm in arm with big smiles. I love those! I wanted to scan and share, but then the scanner wasn't working. Grrrr! Hopefully soon I'll be able to share my vintage transfers. I don't have many, but some are worth sharing and also my way of saying thanks to other embroidery artist who share their transfers and completed works.
