{Always} Thinking of You

Hello everyone! My high schooler & grade schooler are officially on their summer vacation. That's two months of no homework, projects, quizzes & exams which means more crafting time for me. Woot! Woot!

Now, to jumpstart my summer projects, I made a couple of pink daisies made of soft felt. They turned out really pretty.

I placed them right smack in the middle of my "Thinking of You" cards. Yes, I've been making a lot of these cards lately as you might have noticed. I suppose it's because I've been missing my sister so much that my longing has manifested itself in my work.

Hope you enjoyed my share today. Come back and visit again soon.

Mother Earth | Major Catastrophe

Since Friday, March 11, 2011, my mind has been filled with nothing, but the horrifying images of the wreck and havoc the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan left behind.

Waves of tsunami hit residences after a powerful earthquake in Natori, Miyagi prefecture (state), Japan.

It is heartbreaking to see and hear the cries of survivors in the news as they bravely search for missing love ones under the rubble and debris.

Broken home in what was once a suburb in Minami Sanriku in Miyagi Prefecture.

Imagine being greeted to this scene coming home from work?

Nothing left.

Unimaginable?
Unbelievable?
Wrong.
It happened.
And the Japanese are now struggling to survive in the aftermath.

Let us all do our share in helping our brothers and sisters in Japan. Check the parishes, schools and other socio-civic organizations in your area to see how you can best extend your love across the miles.

A Card In A Flash

This is a card I came up with in less than five minutes for a debutante a few weeks ago. Hmmm....why so fast, you wonder? Well, I find that it is easier for me to design a card for a specific person no matter what the occassion is. I suppose it's because I already have background info on the subject thus making it effortless for me to visualize the finished product.


For this particular card I used different shades of purple because it was the color motif of the party. The bird symbolizes freedom. Now a young adult, Charie has the world in the palm of her hand. So many choices and decisions to make. So many people to meet. So many things to experience. Wow! To be eighteen again....
