Hey everyone!   It's card making time again!!  No foolin'!!   Ha!


This may be our last class until October.  Laura is back from being a "you-know-what-bird" (a dirty four-letter word these days) and is pretty sure that she will start teaching on April 15th.   It's been a great time and we've had a lot of fun!   It is bittersweet giving the class back, but at the same time, we are ready.  I'm going to begin thinking about my Christmas cards in May and begin the actual making of my cards in June or July.  I have always waited until the last minute because of doing the class and working full time until last year.  I started in July and was pretty much finished in November.  Drove my hubby crazy!  This past year, though, I made the cards and he stamped the sentiments on the inside and addressed the envelopes.  We are pretty good as a team and even though he wouldn't admit it, I think he actually had fun doing it.  One small step for Denny, one giant leap for Mary Jo!  I want to make up other cards, too, like birthday, sympathy, etc. to have on hand when I need them and I can't do that trying to make cards for class.  I don't multi-task like I used to.  Too many aging brain cells.


Anyway, we are giving you a couple choices in your cards this time.  I have posted them all.  The first three cards are Karen's and I must say that she outdid herself this time with her Easter card.  I know that I am prejudiced, but I think she did one heck of a job!  Way to go, Sister!!


Ya'll come back and see us from time to time, ya hea?  We will probably be posting our (personal) creations.  Showin' off again!   ;-)  I have just had a revelation.............I enjoy journaling on this blog.  I could go on and on and on, as I think you have noticed.  I apologize if you feel that I ramble.  I know that I do.  Kind of goes with the territory, I'm afraid.  I had better stop now before I erase every word I have written.  Maybe I should.   Nah.

Hi there!  Happy St. Patrick's Day!

So glad that you stopped by for a peek at our cards.  It's Tuesday night, 11:00 p.m., and I have my cards finished!  Sometimes I surprise myself!   😀  

Here are three of the cards.  I hope you like them!

Card #2 for March 4, 2015 Class

I'm making progress....it is only 12:28 a.m. And I will be going to bed VERY soon!

Here is the last of my cards.   I didn't stop at Karen's to get her cards to scan.  Sorry, ladies.  I had some running to do right after work and by the time I left the last place, I was ready for home and dinner. Not to mention I still had this card to do yet.  At least I knew what I wanted to do.  I hope you like the cards this week.  

Hugs,  Mary Jo

Hey!  Believe it or not, I got one of my cards finished and scanned!  Am I good, or what?  Or what, I know.  😉

Here is the first card.  I hope you like it.  There are a lot of little pieces and parts to it, but it goes together fast!   Sorry it's crooked in the picture, but I think you can get the gist of it.  Until card #2, blessings to you.
