It's been a long time coming....

We all know how bad I am at this.  I want to blog.  I really really do.  I sit down to blog.  I really really do.  Then life seems to happen.  Out of the blue.  Whammo.  Life.

So I am going to try again.  At least for today.

I moved.  To Missouri.  Three weeks ago, almost 4 now.  It is a huge adjustment for me.  I have lived in the home Keith designed for 26 happy years.  And we raised our daughter there.  But, Keith and Amanda got jobs in Missouri, so here I am.  Keith was here for 11 months without me.  Amanda was here for 6 months.  I am thrilled that we are all in the same place again!!

But I miss my kraft stuff!  Ha!  I have unpacked roughly 40 boxes of kraft stuff so far!  And it is all stuff that I use, but not the stuff I need!!  I have some paper, but not my PAPER!  I have some die cuts, but not my DIE - CUTS!  I have some stuff to color, but not my stuff to COLOR!!

I love to color.  Coloring makes me happy.  Puts me in a happy place.  Calming.  Soothing.  So, imagine how happy I was a few days ago...  when I found my Copics!!  I found my Copics, my refills, my glitter pens, my colored pencils...  tons of colorful goodness!!

I do admit, I am not anywhere near as talented as the people I see online coloring.  I would love to be that talented, but I am not.  However, I am very very happy with my coloring, so maybe that is why I don't take the classes!  Well, that and I live in Missouri now and don't know where anything is yet!  I do know how to get to the Hobby Lobby now!  FINALLY!!!

Here are various kards that I have colored on.  Any of the digital stamps are Bugaboo.  I adore her work!  I love her digitals!  The other stamps are a variety.  I love Lawn Fawn!  Stamps by Judith. Peachy Keen.  Stampin' Up! And Hobby Lobby bought stamps!

















 In the spirit of trying to blog more...  I am hoping that next time...  we will be back to my posting directions to a kard and you trying the kard!  Next up....  Pop Up Kards!  Here is an example!!



Happy Krafting!!
