I was going to share a belated Christmas post, but now that we're well into February I'm sure no one wants to see all that. THIS tree I only took down today! It was on a table behind the couch, and gave off a nice glow for a while, so I kept it up. It felt good to clean and dust back there though.
I'm still having some issues leaving comments on a couple of your posts. Others, I'm just behind in reading and will get to you all soon. Don't even ask about the photo situation. There's still hope that you'll hear about our anniversary outings, but I haven't managed to find/organize those into an album yet. Maybe by our next anniversary. 😜
Have a wonderful weekend!! 🤗
Your cards are gorgeous. My Middle Child also makes valentines, mostly using stickers and pictures she prints from the internet.
ReplyDeleteI understand about trying to organize. There are posts I started years ago that I never finished. Ugh.
Thanks, Bijoux!! I have seen so many lovely cards out there and am glad your Middle Child enjoys making them. I just finished up a bunch of wedding themed cards.
DeleteI have so much trouble blogging anymore. Instagram is glitchy for me too. FB works pretty well, but most of my blog friends either don't do FB or don't like to share their page. I am friends with a few there who used to blog but don't anymore but they don't post too often. LOL
Mary, I freaking LOVE that tree! And I love it not only for the way you decorated it, but also because of its narrow shape. Well done, my friend!
ReplyDeleteAnd as ALWAYS, I adore your cards. Do you remember the ones you sent me years ago? Well I still have them in the original wrapping they came in, so they are in mint condition. I really should have them framed and hung up in my apartment.
I especially love that first one (pink, black and white). The Valentine's Day ones are just gorgeous! They made me smile!
As I've shared many, many times in the past, I think you're soooooooooooo talented in so many creative ways. And thank you for sharing your talents!
Have a superb weekend, neighbor! I think we're getting more of OUR kind of weather next week. It's too damn warm for me right now. It feels like spring/summer. UGH!

Hi, Ron. YES! I do remember sending you cards. Maybe a shell one? Not sure what else. I just made some wedding theme cards for someone who will be attending a few weddings soon. I enjoy it, but then I want to get back to painting, and then I get the urge to make jewelry. LOL
DeleteThanks very much for the complements!

Speaking of weather two months later... haha... it was HOT today! I did get some plants repotted but took quite a few breaks. LOL
I can see why you left the tree up. Nothing prettier in the evenings! All your cards are so cute! Being in that creative zone is so relaxing and time flies by. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Rita! Thanks! I really do enjoy my creative time. Lately, wedding cards. But there are canvases waiting for me to get back to.

There's nothing "wrong" with leaving a tree up long after Christmas, and as evidence, the holiday village is still set up in our apt. Putting it up and taking it down and putting all the pieces away takes several days so no rush on my husband's part. We've enjoyed seeing it lit up each night as I am sure you enjoyed the tree.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are all so lovely, Mary, and I could not decide on which one was my favorite.
Hi, Dorothy! I enjoy making cards so much that I have trouble deciding on favs too! Lately, wedding cards are what I'm making. Had a small order for a few but made extras to have on hand.
DeleteI think by the time I get back to blogging it'll be the 2024 holiday season! haha

Your cards are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe tree up is good for the spirit, then up it stays!
Thank you! I really love to play with my papers. Lately I've been making some wedding themed cards.
DeleteOf course since it's now April the trees are put away... but there are still 2 little live trees on the porch (European Cyprus) and one still has flocking on it and a Santa on a ladder. Hope they make it, my last 2 didn't. :(
It's always good to see you, Mary! I have a string of Christmas bulbs that stay up year round; a couple of them, actually.
ReplyDelete- Signed, Better Kate Than Never
Hi Kate! I still have some fairy type lights around the house but they are up all year. Love the sweet glow of them.
DeleteBy the time I get back to blogging the tree for 2024 will be up! haha
Love the cards, Mary. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mr. Shife! I enjoy making them. :)
DeleteHi Mary, this is Beatrice (Dorothy) from the Frog & Penguinn blog and just wanted to drop a few lines to let you know you have been missed and I hope that all is well , Maybe you are taking a long blog break?
ReplyDeleteHi Dorothy!! Thank you very much for stopping by to leave a message! Yes, I am on toooo long of a break. Will try to remedy that!
ReplyDeleteRight now... I am signed in to my blog, but, the comment page says that I am 'unable to sign in to comment' blah blah... so tired of glitches with technology. *sigh*
All is well, and I hope things are also good with you and Patrick.

Oh, yay, that posted!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, just checking in to say hello and since you haven't posted in so many months, I was wondering if maybe you had decided to "retire" from blogging? If so (or not) could you post a comment on my blog or by email to let me know as I have been checking your blog and not finding any recent posts was just wondering. Do hope all is OK.
ReplyDeleteHi again, guess you are on a long-term blog hiatus? I will remove you blog from my sidebar until you are back again, Mary. Just post a comment to mine to let me know, thanks and hope all is well.
