January 29, 2025...What Did You Miss?

 Hello again, my dear friends,

Checking out my post for the month, I've missed some crafty items I made.  I want to share these today before the month is over. I will be busy the next two days of January and will not post again until February. 

Take a look at some of the items I made for your view.  Yes, I still make cards for the "Cards For Soldiers Program" and "Cards For Kindness".  Some people want me to make specific cards for them.   I'm not interested in getting involved with that.  What about you?

Take a look:

A fun card for Valentine's Day

Love doing something funny for Friday

I am trying to get into jewelry making.   My granddaughter inspired me.

Thanks for your time,

Lois

"Hello, hello, hello Beautiful People"

 Hello family, friends, followers, viewers, and visitors.  I am so excited to post with you all today (January 24, 2022).  Happy new year to all of you.  I hope things are going well with you all.  It has been almost a month since my last post.  Let me bring you up to date on what has happened.  We celebrated Christmas with my daughter and her family (husband, child, in-laws).  We spent the night in NC and came home on that Sunday morning.  My oldest daughter who lives in Florida came home on the 5th of January and stayed until the 19th of January.  We had fun being mother and daughter and catching up on things.  Deaths in the community did occur due to Covid and old age.  I crafted as usual and posted to other sites.  I even tried to do something different (jewelry making).  

Today, according to the National calendar, it is National Compliment Day.  What is that all about?  National Compliment Day on January 24th offers a wonderful way to brighten someone’s day or to give credit for a job well done!  Give an extra compliment annually on January 24th and any time one is deserved.   A compliment has a powerful effect. It can instill confidence in a child, or validate someone’s hard work.   A compliment not only improves the receiver’s mood, but it also says something about the giver. It tells them you noticed. Whether we recognize someone’s achievement or their classic style, a compliment can go a long way.  To give a great compliment, first be sincere. People have a way of knowing when we are fake. If you don’t mean it, it’s worse than getting a thoughtless birthday gift.

I compliment all of you for your continued support of my projects.  You have been so sweet and loveable.  Here are all the crafting items I completed since our last encounter:

Valentine Day cards

I'm trying to make jewelry.  It is fun putting the beads together to make necklaces and bracelets.  I might think about selling something this year.

This card is for my bible journaling.  It has the topic that our Pastor wants us to focus on for the 2022 year.   I like to make something that helps me to keep up with what we are studying.  It gives me a visual picture of the topic.  I will add this one to https://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com.

Thank you for your kindness,

Lois

"A Valentine's Day Card"

Hello family, friends, followers and viewers.
It's Monday, a day after the weekend events.  We had our daughter and granddaughter to visit with us this weekend and as they called it, "a sleepover".  My grand is almost as tall as I am.  Her head is reaching my shoulder and she is full of energy showing me all the moves she has to make on her Cheerleading Squad.  They won second place for their competition they had recently.  Their next competition will be in Charlotte, NC  during the Valentine weekend.  I told her, at my age, there is no way  I can jump and move like she can...but she thinks I can (it's amazing what little eleven years old children think).
I'm sad ...the news was and is devastating concerning the helicopter crash that killed the basketball legend, Kobe Bryant, his daughter and others that were with them. Basketball is the sports that I love to watch and I had watched him more times than I can count when he played with the Lakers.  My sympathy goes out to all the families involved.
Today, I've made a Valentine's card for you view. I've used DP from Recollections (script background), MME ( letter in the envelope) and Mintay (jar).  The die cut (envelope) is from Spellbinders.  The other cardstock is from Neenah (white), PaperandMore (pink) and Recollections (black).

You will see this on https://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com as well as Instagram.

Thanks for viewing.  Have a wonderful day.

Sending you a hug and love,
Lois
