Michael's haul and First Cards

In today's paper there was a Michael's coupon for 50% off one item for today ONLY. I told Thomas that I HAD to go to use the coupon. Otherwise, I would be losing out. :) So he went with me and I was going to get a large acrylic block for big stamps. I only have small and medium ones. He said "you are going to spend your 50% coupon that???? I thought you would get a bigger item to get a bigger savings." Well, that a challenge! I ended up using my coupon on a white storage cart to made by Jetmax. I have many of their cubes so this fits right in. Afterall...Thomas challenged me and I think I came thru!!

I put it together and started moving stuff into it. I got motivated and started making some cards. I am new at this so they aren't fabulous but I feel good that I am getting over the paralysis of what to do. I see so many great cards but I'm just not that creative so I figure I will start slowly and hopefully I will get there. That's how I started with crochet. I did't start out to good but practiced and practiced and practiced and eventually I got pretty good - if I do say so myself.

These will be the first cards and pictures that I will put on the blog. I hope I can figure this out.

ok...I'll try this blog thing.....

I have often debated about starting a blog. I have been getting into card-making and a lot of the stamping sites that I visit show blogs with fabulous cards and ideas on them. I don't have fabulous cards and ideas but I can perhaps participate more with them.

Happy Birthday Dad!!
