Getting Ready To...

I packing and getting ready for the long weekend in Southern California.  Must do some family stuff, cleaning a house that holds sixty four years of memories-which requires going through lots of things, and putting stuff into storage-big job ahead.   I wanted to upload some pictures of the beginning of the birthday cards for month for my sweetie.  Each and every year that we have been together, I have made him a card for each day of his birthday month leading up to his special day-some years I am definately challenged in the creativity part!  Here are the first three:
   Each year I try to think about my sweeties personality and make cards that reflect that.  So, knowing he loves his MGS, the first card seemed appropriate, the second card came about because he was somewhat of a hippie in the 60's and the lava lamp just seems to reflect those times.  The third card is the crab and since he is a Cancer, the crab seemed appropriate-besides he is too cute peeking out of his shell.                                                                                 So, once I get back from down south, I need to kick into high gear and get some additional cards done so that I don't get behind the power curve-which seems to happen more often than not!  There are times when I just can't seem to get creative and I have to turn to other people's blogs and SCS for inspiration-to tap into other's creativity!  Thanks goodness for the computer or I would be stuck.                                                                                                               I am still working on redoing some thrift store finds and will post them when I return.  I have also been trying to put the computer craft room back together after completely clearing it out and only putting things back in that I have a use for and that will fit.  I fell into the mindset of "it's on sale, and I might use it one day" but after five or six years, it never has been used.  I have started a pile and plan to donate some things to a senior center or to the upcoming SPCA sale for the care and feeding of the animals. I can't believe that I can accumulate so much stuff and in a relatively short period of time!
