I was tagged, and who rocks my socks!

Carol over at Extreme Cards and Paper Crafting tagged me for "Blogging with a Pupose." Thank you!!!

Go check out her pop up tutorials!

I would like to in turn tag:

Heather, my awesome SU! Demonstrator

Lain at Scraphappy, who does my favorite podcast, and

MC from my google group, she's kind our den mother.

I would also have tagged the sisters at Journal Revolution, whom I also love, but I remember reading a post awhile ago that they were tired of beign tagged. BUT go check them out anyway!

Thank you all - I enjoy your blogs!

In the meantime, I've been gone awhile, I've been in sort of a malaise, if you will, where I've been unable to actually DO much of anythingg productive, even though my brain says I should. I know we've all been there!

However, I think I am finally coming out of it.

Unfortunately I've managed to lose an Avon customer, and missed May for my card challenge. :(. Oh well, all I can do is move forward, you know?

More later,

Jes

I'm back! With Pop Up Cards

Sorry it's taken a long time to post. I'd actually written something last Friday, and just before I went to post it all, I lost it!

I love technology. :)

I will soon post some photos from my weekend away, much fun was had. In the meantime, I have some cards to share!

I've been following the pop up tutorial at Extreme Cards and Paper Crafting , so the mother's day card is based on the first lesson. I couldn't really decide on how I wanted her card to look, so I decorated inside and out! :) 

Mother's Day Card - Front

Mother's Day Card - Open

And for my dad's birthday, I gave him baseball tickets to the Seattle Mariners - so, i had to make an appropriate card - 

Dad's Birthday - Front

Dad's Birthday - Open

I "borrowed" a snowman card pattern and refashioned it for the baseballs.  The one in front bears the logo for the Seattle Mariners.  He loved it.

Joining the blogging revolution.....

Well hello world. I finally decided to be one of those folks who can share the comings and goings of their life over the internet!

So - This is my first post. And well, so far so good. Not quite sure what I am doing yet, but I'll get there.

As it says in the description of the blog, I plan to share my crafts, my thoughts, and talk about weight loss, cats and turtles, and whatever else I can think of.

Can't promise I'll post every day, but I'll try to say something - we will see.

So - bear with me on my new blogging adventure, and if anything seems interesting, feel free to drop me a comment!
