Francois and Cards Made With a Bird Punch

Well, Frances took the hint and sent me some pictures of Francois. He is now 4 months old and so cute. I wish we could go to France again this summer so we could see him. I am dying to hold him and play with him. Oh well, maybe next summer. I am saving, saving, saving so we can.

Isn't he precious!!! He has such beautiful eyes like his mom's except I think his might be hazel or green, not blue like Frances.  Here is one with his big sister, Sasha. She is in 1st grade this year and will be 7 in 2 weeks.

Yesterday I went to Karen W.'s for a card class. She holds one usually once a month and I try to go because she really has some neat techniques and ideas. This time we made cards using the Stampin Up Bird Punch, which, of course, I had to order.

These are some of the cards we made. See if you can find the bird pattern and the wing pattern in the last two.

Cool huh?
I spent some time yesterday afternoon when I got home cleaning up and reorganizing my craft room. I swear, things do get out of hand in there. Could it be that I have too much "stuff" and am running out of places to put all of it? Maybe, when Alex ever decides to move out, I might have to use his room for my craft room. It is a lot bigger and I could get more "stuff" in it. Anyway, I did reorganize some of my "stuff" so, hopefully, I can find it now.

If only it would stay this neat!!!
Afterwords, I made a card to send to RuthAnn. Her husband is terminally ill and I think of her and JC several times a day. She is such a wonderful, sweet person and I am so lucky to count her as a friend. I don't want to bother her with phone calls, but hopefully the card will let her know I am thinking of her often.  Say a prayer for her, her family, and JC.

The flowers are made of buttons my friend Lynn showed me at JoAnn's. I added a jewel to the center of them.
Today is the drawing for the winners of the Tampa Bay Treasure Hunt. Sure hope one of us wins. It would be so cool. James says we deserve it since we ran out of gas (Jody's fault!!!) leaving the last store. I didn't get to enter my cover in the album contest. My fault-I read the deadline date wrong. Oh well, it was fun making the cover anyway.
