How many of you can say this tongue twister? - She sells seashells down by the seashore - three times fast? Not me....I had trouble typing it...kept trying to add an extra letter - sheshells.

My husband loves lighthouses....and to tell the truth, so do I. If we are traveling and there is a lighthouse nearby, chances are we will stop and visit, climb up to the top and survey the scenery. Besides cardmaking, I also love to research my family’s genealogy. I had a relative who was a Head… Continue reading Patriotic Lighthouse

I’m on a little vacation at the beach. It’s my happy place. I like to sit on the beach, watch the waves, read a good book and walk the shoreline looking for shells. Lots of shells which I scatter around my house in glass jars and vases to remind me of the beach. In other… Continue reading The Beach is my Happy Place

Giraffes are the tallest mammals in the world...anywhere from 15-20 feet tall. So of course if you were taking a close up pictures of their heads, you would’nt see any of their bodies....just like my card! And don’t those cute little giraffes look like they are in a photo? That would be creative use of… Continue reading A Giraffe Parade
