New Cards, New Cards Alert!

I have been trying to find out what cards will sell the best!  Why?  Because I want to eventually grow my shop so it brings in more income!  If you could if you are following let me know what you think, that would be helpful!

So final question, what would look for in a card shop?  Please share your opinions because it counts.

Here are a couple of the new cards.



Your opinion is greatly appreciated!

It's Been A Long Time!

It has surely been a long time since I wrote on my blog.  I have been going through many obstacles these past couple of months with the journey of my life.  Have you ever wondered what a person has to go through to get where they are successful or have reached a point in their life where they are satisfied where they are at?  I am that person. 

Well I took a break for many reasons: 1) I started long term subbing at our church's school, 2) lack of time, and 3) I didn't really think that the blogs would be beneficial to my card business.  So with the combination of all of these things, I was very discouraged!  But today it is a Friday night right after a rough day at school and I thought to myself it is time to pick of the pace again.  So in those times of discouragement I have been encouraged by others to continue and the Lord has placed a new song in my heart every morning.

The move to Baltimore has been great, but the transition has been something different.  So hopefully in the next couple of months it will be revealed to me where I belong as far as occupation.  I also want to know where I can serve in the community that I currently live in.  So now I am at a point in my life where I am ready to pick up my cards and continue to bless people in many ways.  Meaning saying "thank you" or simply just encouraging people.  So look for some more of my cards!

I am branching out to soon to be mothers!  So look for invitations and thank you cards!  I hope you stay posted to see how the Lord works things in my life!

Are You Thankful?



I know I haven't been up here in a while, but in the meantime I have been thinking about being thankful.  One thing that always sticks in my head is what my father always told me "You should always thank anyone that has ever done anything for you because you never know when you will need them.  Do not ever burn those bridges."  This always is with me everyday and when I think about my shop, my cards are ways to say thank you. 

There are many ways that you can say "thank you".  You can send a thank you for:  1)weddings, 2)just because, 3)birthdays, and 4)many more.You never know when someone needs an encouraging word.  When I make my cards for my shop, I would hope others would put as much love into the message as I do when I make my cards. 



 So what are you thankful for today? I know moving to Baltimore, MD  I have been more thankful in my heart.  I have started to be thankful for the small and large things that the Lord has blessed me with from time to time.  This has allowed me to become more content in my life.  So I challenge you to tell someone thank you if it is by one of my cards, by mouth, or just showing them some affection.  Lift someone's day with a "thank you"!  The cards that are shown are ways to say "thank you"!

What Is Your Passion In Life?


As I moved to Baltimore, I was wondering how many people are working in the jobs that they are passionate about.  I think about my husband and how he finally is doing what he is passionate about full time, which I am excited for him.

I think moving to Baltimore has helped me to examine my life and where I feel the Lord is taking me.  As a teacher for many years, I have been at a rock in a hard place because i ask these questions: is this the time to follow my passion or do I go with what I am familiar and gifted with (as far teaching)? 

MY ULTIMATE PASSION is to do extremely well by making handmade cards/invitations, pillows, and simply just being creative!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE sitting in my arts and crafts room!!  It is such a joy to see people smile when they receive one of my handmade cards!  Now tell me what you are passionate about and if you are actually fulfilling your passion today!  Or simply take a vote to your right.

The great thing is that I am able to live out my passion part time for right now!  So thank you Lord for the little time I have!
