April 7

Well, here goes. I have finally decided in the midst of the corona-virus quarantine to try my hand at blogging. I have read others, contemplated doing one, and now there's no reason not to try. I am social distancing on my back porch, listening to the melody of at least a dozen birds, the loudest being the mocking birds and blue jays. THIS is my favorite time of year

I mailed out several cards this morning, dropped about 30 cards off at the Rehab Center, and put the finishing touches on about 12 more to mail out tomorrow morning. I just love having all this time to craft. Of course, I should really tackle some of the home projects that need to be done, but those can wait for a rainy day, or an extremely hot day. 

I have absolutely loved playing with the Ornate Garden Suite. Everything coordinates so beautifully. One of the best things is that if you only have a sentiment stamp set (I know some of you purchased one earlier this year), the paper in this suite will make gorgeous cards without any other stamps. This suite is now available for purchase, and you can order any of this set from me at cindyking.stampinup.net and click on shop now. When you get ready to check out, enter the host code GY4AMPBG.    If you order $150 or more, do not enter the host code... you will be eligible for extra benefits and gifts. 

Have you ever heard of Paper Pumpkin? Let me tell you, that is an amazing way to get started stamping and making cards. Every month a box is delivered to you with everything you need to make cards. Everything is color coordinated, thematic, and BEEE--U--tiful! The last day to order any month's current kit is the 10th. This month's theme is "My Wonderful Family" and it will have something for everyone. 

                             

I am an independent Stampin'Up demonstrator and I would love to help you get started with stamping and card making.
