Shirley's Creative Corner

Welcome to my first attempt at blogging. I just started making cards recently. I have been out of work for over a year now because of a bad back. Unfortunately, I am very limited to what I can do. I loved cross stitching but I found I needed to find something else to do and stumbled across a web site for making your own cards and I was hooked. So far I have purchased a used Cricut machine from E-Bay that came with lots of used mats, a cartridge and some extra blades for less than 50.00 shipping included. I have also managed to pick up 4 more used cartridges plus lots of paper for card making. Our local dollar store has been a great place to find lots of things for dressing up my cards (especially for someone on a limited budget) and I try to get there a couple of times a month. I will be posting a few pictures and some instructions on how to make a few cards that I hope will inspire you to get started making them. I guess that's about all for my first blog. Hope you enjoyed it. Have a great day!! A little post script to my original blog. I will be talking about other things besides card making. I will probably add a few personal thoughts about how I feel,what the weather is like, I guess whatever is on my mind that particular day.Hope I do get a few followers and that I don't offend anyone with my ramblings.

Well another day has almost come to the end and I must say it has been a very unusual one. I made a couple of cards. In between making the cards I made a home made chicken stew and a loaf of home made bread. It will really taste good tonight because today has been one of those very cold,windy and sunny days we often get in Nov., we even had a few big snowflakes early this morning. I truely hope your day has been a great one and that you managed to do something for yourself to bring you a little joy. Too often as mothers and wives we don't have time for us but I think it's important to do that everyday.It not only makes you feel better but also the people around you. Have a wonderful day and may God bless.
