A Special Birthday

Every birthday is special if it's yours, right? This card would've been even more special to the recipient if I'd mailed it on time. I did make it and write in it, and then I went on vacation. Actually I ran away from home alone to just chill out. Anyway, I didn't mail it until after the fact.
I call this one special because I don't do folds like this everyday. This is similar to the one one I made back when I was working for Hero Arts (which I'm not anymore by the way) and it was on their blog.  I wasn't required to write up directions for the blog and I did write directions when I did a similar one on this blog. This feels like one I should video tape the next time I make one.

There's so much to tell... But basically, I can't today. I have to pack up everything we need for the next month or so and try to pack the van before the movers get here. They will be here starting tomorrow!
After today, I'll have time to tell you about my trip to Chicago, my book, share more cards, show you some of the coloring I've been doing with the Copics. Oh my goodness... there's so much to tell.
Let me know if you're still reading this. I post so infrequently, I don't even know if anyone is reading anymore. I'm on Facebook all the time if you're interested in keeping up with me more often.  I do have plans to get going again (more often) with this blog once I get settled.

Pray for me today and over the next couple of days... Be blessed. and Choose JOY... it's definitely the choice to make.  I don't want the alternative.

I am SOOOO glad to hear from you!!
You are often in my thoughts - wondering about the move back up north, thinking about the Copic class you took down here, and oh so missing missing your cards!
I am on Facebook but don't go there too often. Given your presence, that must change (:-)
Blessings to you and all yours too.

I'm reading. I have you in my Google Reader and I just read when you have a new post. Doesn't bother me if they are infrequent, although I wonder how you're doing. I'm not on FB (the only one in the northern hemisphere, I know). I caught a bit about you moving to a rental because you're still looking for a house. What city? We're coming through next weekend (Labor Day weekend) to my bro's & back. We could do lunch on Labor Day Monday...
