Handmade Soap

Name Shadow Box

I volunteer at The Genesis Project, as time/energy permit.
They are having acelebration for the girls and I was asked to help
with making a special gift for each one; suggestion was to use their
name with the meaning and on wood. 
This is what I made for each girl (name blurred to protect identity.):


I borrowed the idea, from . . . where else? Pinterest! Which led to Etsy.

Watercolored Penciled Cards

I decided to try a new technique - watercolor colored pencils.
Here are my first attempts. They were fun to do, however I need to
watch a few YouTube videos to understand how to better use them.

Clear Stamps

I have some clear stamps that I've had for years and have never really
used. I decided to make a few cards today using a couple of those
stamps. Here they are!

Stamped inside of both cards...I was thinking of you.
