make cards

there’s 100 of them down in my office. (A friend helped.) Now all I have to do is make 100 cards to go along with….

Easy enough, if I had a design I liked, I don’t!

Sigh.

In the past 2 years I’ve had card designs I liked, but no envelopes. This year, it’s the other way around. Actually, I know what I want to do, but haven’t been able to find the materials. If I can find the materials, then it will be easy-peasy and just takes time, of course….

The card I missed was to yrush & her hubby, sigh.

But 7 went out and that counts! It ends up that the card I came up with, although it does require being canceled by hand, isn’t so heavy that it requires extra postage.

There’s a stack of completed envelopes in the other room and embellishments for at least 2 more too, so tonight I get to make more cards!

I figured out how to make ‘em in such a way that 1) they don’t cost a fortune and 2) they don’t take 10 mins. each like some did last year!

I gave 7 cards away at the con. There are 5 more, IN ENVELOPES, addressed and everything(!) that should go out tomorrow.

It’s not much, but it’s a start…

but then I got distracted by the maybe cancer/maybe not that occurred and the resulting new tasks I gave myself: trying to get rid of all the books, will, etc.

Then they were Valentines…and indeed I gave out about 7 cards this past weekend. I have more pieces to make more, but the cards I have left to send people also need envelopes (I never did buy any!).

So, if you get a card (and envelope) in March or so, don’t be surprised! And, yeah, until the end of February, I’m still making Valentine’s. After that, I’ll make St. Patrick’s Day cards…. And, I suppose, if I’m still doing catch-up in April, I’ll change it to Happy Spring! cards, sigh.
