It's been a while, hasn't it?

I'm not a slacker.  I've been creating cards left and right.

If you've been following me on Facebook,

then you've already read about our computer horror stories.

It's been bad.

Really bad.

Fortunately, I scheduled a few posts

so you did get to see some cards.

I've been making cards - truly.

One for just about every occasion.

How bout we start off with two retirement cards?

This one is for Pete.

Thank you for your service in the US Navy!

Vicki won't have to set any alarm clocks

unless she wants to.

She retired a few weeks ago.

Several birthdays in February and March.

 

And, of course, we cannot forget about St. Patrick's Day.

And two of my favorite people

celebrated their anniversary.

That just about wraps it up for now.
There's several more that I can't share just yet.
Please come back!!!

The Runner had a full day - and a good one, too!!!

Remember this?

Well, today he was officially offered his very own route.

He'll be driving a special needs bus

and is super excited.

 

This week he's attending a 20-hour class.

(Night off tonight but back at it tomorrow night

and all day on Saturday.)

 

Next week he'll be taking the field trip training.

 

After that, he'll be driving a field trip bus

for Special Olympics.

 

AND ...

 

He was asked if he would be interested

in competing in the

Special Olympics Rodeo.

 

His answer:  Oh heck yeah!!!

 

And all this on the day after St. Patrick's Day.

(This picture was taken several years ago.

Couldn't resist!)

 

Recharging

Yes, I am recharging my batteries.  After the Christmas-card-frenzy, I'm ready to recharge.  I haven't created a card in FIVE DAYS - unheard of in my life.  I'm not physically creating, but you wouldn't believe how much creating I'm doing in my brain.  Oh yeah ... I've got big plans for 2015.

The majority of my creating seems to be on cards.  Since I didn't start this blog until mid-year, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites with you.  As I viewed the cards by month, initially I thought I would choose just one.  Well, that was an impossibility, which is quite obvious.  Since I'll be featuring so many cards, I think I'll just break it down and give you a little taste over the next four days.  Sooooo, let's begin with January 2014:

Shocker!  I was able to choose just one of my favorites for January and this went to one of my favorite people on her birthday.

Just can't not feature a Valentine (or hearts) for the month of love, can I?

This was for Susan to give to her husband ... on their 19th anniversary (see how I drew the square around the number 19?)

March winds blew in St. Patrick's Day cards, birthday cards, thank you cards and "just because" cards.

The word band says "capture life's moments" ... and I'm sure he does every single day.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.  People just don't take the time to send a thank you card.  That makes me so sad ... and it's really quite the pet peeve with me.

Please come back tomorrow to see my favorites for April, May and June.  Please tell me which one is your favorite!
