Cardz!

Many of you might know or might not know that I am in a card club. Not baseball cards which my husband would love to belong to but homemade, cute cards. Each month the host picks two different types of cards that we all have to make. Then we each make twelve of each kind to exchange.

Last Thursday night was our monthly exchange. I can't explain it, but it is a high for me to show off my latest creation. Two whole days of staying in my pajamas, only stopping to take care of Jensen, leaving Quincy to fend for himself on dinner, and me trying to be creative finally paying off.

At the exchange we go around the table talking about our cards that we made. Okay, I am sure I lost some of you women talking about paper, but it really is fun. We eat really good food and enjoy talking to one another. It is nice to have a night out of the house. Those don't come so often anymore.

When I get home I look at each card at least two times. I always want to see if Quincy wants to join in on the fun but he seems to disappear. He just doesn't get it. Then I sort them and file them in my box of cards. This last exchange made my card box a little tight. Quincy says I could quit now. I think I will just go buy a new box.

I know I have no excuse for missing anyone's birthday, sickness, holidays, etc., but I just can't part with the cards because they are so creative. Very selfish I know. I better start sending them out before they take over my house. I am going to do better this year. So check those mailboxes there a comin'!

These are the cards I made this time. I can't take all the credit for making these cards. I do look online or in books for ideas.
