A fun crafting day....

Today was my best crafting day in a while. I had a lot of free time and really wanted to work on my "Two Peas" month card challenge.

This month the challenge was to make three different Halloween Cards and there was a homework challenge to make a four item to match. I made a Halloween Goodie bag as my homework challenge and it was one of the first things I've made using my SCAL program. I cut the cut little bag using a SCAL cut that one of the gals in my craft group had been kind enough to share with me.

I just finished up my cards when Alex came home for school and he thought there were great...well until he realized they were NOT my designs. He was still impressed at how well I did with them, but had been really impressed when he thought I had designed them too. Nope, not yet, but if I keep practicing, in time, I'll be this creative on my own.

Here are my cards and my little goodie bag. I really enjoyed this class and have learned a lot by taking all the FREE card classes that Two Peas offers each month. I hope they do this again next year too.

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
