Thank You...whoever you are!

 

So last week I was in a meeting

and it was mentioned that two ladies from another group

had volunteered to do something that would benefit our group and,

before I knew it, I had opened my mouth and out popped,

"Oh! I will be glad to make two thank you cards for them"

and they jumped on it! Lol!

Well,

I didn't anticipate

how hard it is to make two cards

(really-I've done this for YEARS....)

for people you don't know.

At all.

Zip. Nada. Zippo.

No favorite colors, no likes/dislikes...sigh.

I spent hours on Pinterest and blogs

and a few more in my craft room

with a ton of "I really don't like that, either" cards.

Until one morning

1/2 hour before work...

I came up with this idea...

and was happy, happy happy!

I love this aqua color (that's my work counter at my office-notice

the similarity in color choices! I think it's called "wading pool")

The "thanks" is stamped with Staz-on on vellum

and popped up with pop dots (of course)

The dp behind the thanks is from a small pad I picked up at Hobby Lobby

and love!

The floral band is washi tape.

The thanks and light aqua ribbon is Stampin' Up

and I ran out of the ribbon so had to substitute on the second card.

 

I liked the slightly off-center and then the three little sparkles.

Hope the group-and the two recipients-like them!

 

Well, today is a be-nice-to-me day.

It's my birthday!

I am planning on doing nothing I absolutely do not want to do!

A few chores have to be done but beyond that---

it's my day to do as I please!

A meeting (I enjoy), my friend Theresa has a beautiful day

for a local craft show so I will go see her booth and poke around

at the competition (really, there isn't any!)

sort some things I want/need to,

maybe order a (gluten-free) pizza

and even go see a movie...

who knows!

Hoping my order of Copics shows up from Oozak!

Hmmm! Those would be fun to play with, too!

Oh.

and blow some bubbles.

A must!

 

 

Until next time,

happy stamping and scrapping!

Blessings,
