Super Woman bit the dust!

Wow!  I didn’t mean to take such a long break from the blogging world and thank you to so many of you that have wondered WHERE I have been.  Have you ever had a week (or two) that has just been crazy out of your mind?  That’s been the last two weeks for me.  I claimed to be Super Woman the last two weeks and yesterday I buried my cape and had a party.  I realized that even Super Woman cannot do it all and I surely CAN’T!  So just what kept me busy besides the usual family life?  Craft Show preparation as well as classes I am working on.  I love this time of year because I think we as paper crafters can really make the BEST gifts that family and friends can love forever.  I see so many great ideas and I just want to lock the doors to my stamp room and get creating!  Then a little one tells me they are hungry or that they have no clean underware. I thought I bought 30 pair for a reason!!! 

So, yesterday I had the realization that I really am not the Super Woman I thought I was and I’ve come to terms with it. I had to break down and clean the house and do laundry.  Instead of Super Woman I turned into a bitter soul stomping around my house as I despise cleaning.  Once I got that done, I came down into my stamp room and truly wanted to cry.  I have never seen my room such a disaster.  I cannot create unless it’s clean.  My friend Christy came into my room and I think she GASPED.  Crap was everywhere.  It looks much better now.  I broke down and cleaned that too. 

Enough chatter.  Here is what I have been working on.  Some of these were for the craft shows and some for classes. 

The Chef guy was a Thank You card I made for three of the area restraunts that donated food for our Cards for a Cure last month.  We couldnt’ have done it without them.  Macaroni Grill supplied food for 100 people and it was AWESOME!  I spent more time than I had on these cards but I loved how they came out being popped up and a little dimensional.  I don’t use this set as much as I would like to. 

Here is one of the scratch pads I made for a craft show this past weekend.  These sold out half way through the show.  🙂  This made me happy!  Here is another one:

This was the only Christmas one I had on the table.  I have another show in two weeks that will keep me busy.  Lots to make for that one too. 

Time to get creating this morning.  I hope I am back to regular midnight stamping now.  Thanks for being patient with me and as always… A HUGE thank you for just stopping by!  I appreciate you!
