Crafty Woman

I have pretty much despised the word “craft” in my lifetime. It reminds me of crocheted toilet paper holders, aluminum airplanes, and anything made with yarn or doilies. Y’know, things you’d expect to find at small town “Day at the Square” booths next to the Kettle Corn.

However, I was invited to join the Valentine’s Day Card Swap and I really wanted to contribute a little bit of eye candy. Not being a prepared crafty woman, I had to go get supplies – which was fun – gooooooooooo scrapbook aisle!

I believe I was supposed to send a postcard, BUT I wanted whatever I sent to be able to be used again. So, I’m mailing an unused card/envelope set within a card. I hope they’ll like them enough to give them to someone else. I have 10 names to send to – and at the same time am looking forward to receiving 10 – in fact, I’ve already received one!

    So pretty! And who are you kidding? That card is dripping with craftiness!

    I lack the crafty genetic coding. But your cards are awesome and I think it’s a great idea to send the unused card for them to pass one to someone else.

  • MMM

    very cool!

  • OMSH

    There is genetic coding for craftiness? So, if I can, for instance, clone a few of my favorite crafters/creative, I might be able to BUY their craftiness?

    I am soooooooooo all over that.

  • Jill - GlossyVeneer

    Yes, craftiness is tied to genetics. I’m sure of it.

    Skip the crafts…pass me the kettle corn!

  • karen

    …but, P.S. – totally cool cards. :)

    of course, that is totally a result of my sugar addiction, but we won’t talk about that, now WILL we?

  • karen

    Sugar and salt together? On pieces of calorically insignificant popcorn? Which can be considered a vegetable serving (popCORN)? The only thing missing is chocolate, which can be served alongside (for the antioxidans, of course).

    T. antioxidanTs.

    No, I met anti oxidan. He was a neat fellow. Unfortunately he fell into the hands of a crunchy gal named carob. He’s never been the same since.

    You are so very clever, Heather. Again, I may not be clever enough to post comments on your site!

    Can you tell I’m having a mid-life crisis? I think I’ve said this two other times to you in the last two weeks. I turned 40 and freaked out. I thought the whole mid-life crisis thing was a myth, til it happened to me! I’m slowly adjusting….

  • jessica

    Any by said “this” I meant said I wasn’t clever enough to frequent and post on your site. Good God, I hope the crisis is almost over! Sheesh!

  • OMSH

    Jessica please do not break down on me. Don’t you know 40 is the new 20? I’m looking forward to 40. At 40 my grey hair won’t be premature. At 40, I’m supposedly going to settle into my best years and have knowledge, wisdom and discernment beyond measure.

    Oh girl, if you are 40, you have much to share. Perhaps I should come and sit at your feet and listen. Or maybe we could just go grab a java together and watch a romantic comedy. hehe

  • jessica

    My best advice is “always carry tweezers.” HAHAHAHAHAHAAH! Seriously – do that.

    And Heather, if I lived near you, we would so be grabbing a cupa java! (Or, I might actually have a glass of wine!)

  • OMSH

    I would be bald if I carried tweezers. The only dark hair I have left is in the very back. You wino, you!
