Wow what a busy weekend! As much as I love being busy, it’s nice to have a day where things are a little slower pace and today is one of those days. I’ve got some planning to do, a bit of running around and some photos to take and edit so that I have more projects to post for you!
Did you know that the first Saturday in October (Oct. 2nd this year) is World Card Making Day?

I have found that Christmas and Birthdays are the most popular occasions for card making. With that in mind, this year I have decided to hold an open house with a focus on quick & easy Christmas cards. I’ll have lots of samples showcasing quick & easy cards, tags and gift ideas as well as a make & take. Many of the ideas can also be altered to different occasions but I will be primarily focusing on Christmas because it is a time when we need so many more cards at one time so simplicity is the key.
When: Saturday October 2ndTime: 1 to 3 pm
Now on to the Wrinkled Ladies part of my title. Many of you are likely familiar with Anita Renfroe and her Momisms video. Well I was talking to a friend this morning and she asked if I had seen Anita’s version of Beyonce’s Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) – Wrinkled Ladies. OMGosh it is hillarious. I guess it has been out for a few months so many of you have likely seen it but I thought I would include the video here for those who haven’t. Love it! It will make you giggle – especially those of us who are getting close or have exceeded 40 years:)
