Craft, Create, Celebrate Life
I was out and about the other day and went into Target. I was wanting to buy luggage tags, but why just buy that one thing lol. I saw this box of cute little note cards and just had to have them for my writing.
Aren’t they the cutest little things! I can’t wait to write a sweet note and send it off to it’s recipient and hope it makes them smile big.
But wait there is more show and tell coming in the next few posts. Note cards are like potato chips can’t just eat one lol
Lately I have been very intrigued with learning new crafts and writing letters and note cards. This new hobby is lots of fun and more complicated than I ever thought.
Here are some pics of recent swaps I have sent out.
This is a letter that my son wrote to Noreen’s son from swap-bot. Some one flaked on her for a letter to her little boy. It tugged at my heart and I offered to ask my son to write her son a letter. My son was delighted and so was I, how could anyone flake on a little boy. Flake means when someone doesn’t follow through on their part of a swap. We also put some cute stickers in the envelope.
This is a mini musing journal which took me a month approx to complete and sent it recently to Pisceanmama. It was quite an undertaking but I was determined to finish it. I had fun writing though and put lots of love into the little journal.
This swap was called Note Card Destash and I sent it to ThisismeX. I went through and picked some crisp and pretty cards and wrote a note put it all in an envelope and off it went. I hope she finds the cards useful in her writings.
At first I really didn’t know if this was going to be a permanent hobby for me, but it has grown on me and now I can’t see not participating in it. The complicated part comes with dealing with a vast majority of personalities which are for the most part women.
More pics and information to come soon, visit our FAB swap page here on this blog to see other swaps that are available to join.
I wrote my brother this week, my mom was next but I shuffled the names around because my brother need his FAB more than my mommy right at this moment. My mom will understand as we speak on the phone almost daily :-).
I do hope my card cheers my little brother up, well not little anymore I think he is in his mid 30’s. Yet always a little brother to me hehe. The card on the left is my brothers card.
The card on the right is the one I sent to a new partner on swapbot her name is thisismeAXiD. I also put two recipes that I enjoy cooking for my family in the envie. Both are recipes that my family has made for as long as I can remember.
I am looking forward to what writing I will do in the coming week. I am wanting to make few handmade note cards to add to my choices of cards I send out.
Now we can get on to writing our thank you notes instead of playing video games all day. It was fun but my mommy brain was a bit wigged out from it all. He got off quite a few days from his job, I was so glad he was able to swing it.
Kids Thank You Notes
Now we also have a bunch of sweets in the house and not enough mouths to eat it all. I certainly don’t want to considering my gift I got for Christmas (The 17 day diet book) I would like to try it out today. I sat in bed for a few last night and read it and it sounds pretty shall I say interesting for lack of other words. Still to be seen if I will follow through, I know what else is new huh.
