Finally...I can make my own envelopes!!

Ok, that might not mean as much to some people as it does to me, however, I've been looking for a tutorial for making envelopes for my note cards forEVER!! I finally found one tonight that is super easy and cute! Now I can send envelopes along with my notecards and have added that to my descriptions on Etsy! Yeah. Here is the link to the great little cards, enjoy!

Sorry, just noticed that this will not let me post it as a link. I did try though! You can still get to it by copy and pasting the line above, I hope!!

More Notecards

These are some more notecards that I've made recently. They are so cute but still masculine enough to send a thank you to a male co-worker or include a love note in your husbands lunch.

I did finally get these posted on my Etsy shop. See them here at snappigirlcreations.etsy.com.

Today's 2nd Post

This is the second post for today, scroll down to see the first. I just thought I would try again to make sure that I was getting my watermark on my pictures. Pretty much think that I've got that covered now. This is another picture of the notecards that I made the other day. This is, of course, a closeup! Today I am going to work on taking more (better) pics of my cards and try to get some more posted for the world to see, so this may not be the last time I'm on today!

Notecards I Made

These are some cute little notecards that I made the other day. I've tried to add a watermark to my picture so this post serves 2 purposes. A.) Show the notecards and B.) Make sure the watermark shows up!! Yeah, the watermark is present! The cards themselves are cute, but I don't like the photo. I used a sheet that had been folded, so I can see the fold marks, which BUGS me! I also don't like the lighting that well. I took the picture right in front of a window, with lots of bright snow on the ground, but no sunshine, so I just don't know. It doesn't look bright enough to me. Oh well, maybe I'll have a better one tomorrow.

Snow, snow go away!!!

Well, snow is coming again overnight. Not that I have a problem with snow mind you, what I have a problem with is KIDS HOME FROM SCHOOL!! Especially since I now watch 2 kids in the morning before school. Since they probably won't have school tomorrow, I'll be watching them ALL DAY! When those kids and my kids mix, things don't always go well!! Lord, give me strength!!!

Sick Kids...Yuck!!

I am so tired of having sick kids. All four of my little darlings have been sick for at least a week, a couple of them for longer than that. Upper respiratory infections are the worst! At the current time, two of them are on their third round of antibiotics and nothing seems to work. Everybody's sick, tired, cranky and mean!!!

Did I mention that we got 5 inches of snow, over a layer of ice, this morning? Yeah, not so much fun!!

This is a Test

This is just a test, to see if I can "schedule" a post, to publish tomorrow.

New Blog Layout

I'm currently in the process of changing my blog. Right now I'm just getting a new look with a fresh background, header, etc. I'm not really changing the layout, but I may do that later. I also may change the name of my blog...or just start another one!! I'd really like to keep one space for information about my kids and family and a completely different space for my card making. I'd really like to start trying to sell my cards on Etsy and would like to post about those ventures. We'll see!!

Either way, it's still a work in progress, sorry if it looks ugly in the meantime!!

Pathetic!!

How pathetic am I? I haven't posted anything for over 2 months! I wish sooooo bad that I was in the habit of posting everyday, or at least once a week!!! I made cards for Christmas and treats for Valentine's Day that I could have shown you, but I just can't get myself going. Good thing I don't blog for a living!!! I'm going to try (again!!) to get better!!
