Where did January go?
Posted by Michelle on January 31st, 2009 . Filed under: Uncategorized .I can’t believe the end of January is already here. This month flew by for me.
And here we are – still with the Christmas flag and the Christmas pinata up; sad.
Before I continue – let me stop for a second and give a shout out to my girl Jenn aka Jaycie – today is her birthday. Jenn is one of my BFFs – I love saying BFF, I feel so hot like Paris Hilton – and she is just a wonderful person, a real gem in my life. Happy Birthday, dear heart!
After the week I’ve had, I was so excited to get home last night and just chill at my craft table and look at papers and think. Very relaxing – and productive.
Cupcakes are very trendy in the cardmaking world.
And why not – what’s not to love about a cupcake, right?
I saw this great cupcake DP and knew that I wanted to jump on the bandwagon.
I figure if I can’t eat them, I can at least enjoy looking at them while creating.
I love this Valentine card! I’ve paired my favorite Raspberry Fizz paper from Papertrey Ink with some DP that Miss Laura sent me. Isn’t this cute? I stopped making Valentine cards because I thought I had more than enough for family and friends, but ’tis the season so I keep making more. I’ll probably end up giving one to the mailman and the FedEx guy and of course – the guy that drives the brown truck; I {heart} those 3 fellas.
And last but not least – another composition book. Are you tired of these yet? Because I’m not tired of making them. This is some of my new DP – made a card with it yesterday too. I made this for my Nina Nettie. Nina means Godmother in Spanish in case you didn’t know. Anyway, my Nina Nettie is the most beautiful person I know. She is my Nina from Baptism – so she has known me my entire life. She’s beautiful on the inside and out. She’s like late 50s and she’s HOT! She’s got this really pale Oil of Olay skin, and dark hair….tall and thin…and she always calls me “babe”; adorable. Anyway – my Nino Mike died about a year ago…out of nowhere, just dropped dead. So terribly sad 🙁 So Nina has been on her own. I sent her a nice purple Brighton earrings and necklace set as a RAK (Random Act of Kindness) soon after he died, and now I am going to send her this. I love sending the unexpected thought – card or a gift – making someone’s day makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Have you RAK’d anyone lately? You don’t have to be a cardmaker to do it. Drop someone a card or a small something in the mail. Someone you don’t talk to all the time. Someone you think about often and will always wish for glad tidings upon them. It would make their day to get something in the mail from you – even a 99-cent Hallmark card.Have a wonderful Saturday, Girls –
– and thank you very much for sharing my space with me.

Birthday wishes to you, Jaycie!
Love those cards, Michelle, and those cupcakes!
I used to love RAKs, and lately it seems I only think about doing them. I do believe my backside is getting hot.
