HAPPINESS IS -----------"

Happiness is seeing your granddaughter become a creative young lady.

My youngest grandchild, Jessie, is almost 9 years old and is very creative. She loves all sorts of paper crafts, especially making cards. She has even made several pillows on the sewing machine, with Nana's help.
Jessie loves to give her projects away. She made the St. Patrick's Day cards for her Dad and her two aunts and their families. She made the pillows for one of her aunts and another one for her Dad.

It's so rewarding to see you grandchildren enjoy some of the same things that you do.

WEAR "GREEN" DAY!!!!

DON'T FORGET TO WEAR GREEN TODAY!!

This is a card my sister, Shirley, sent to me wishing me a Happy St. Patrick's Day. It's made from a "retired" stamp set, Pinch Proof. The little leprechaun is so cute. There are just some stamp sets that you don't to get rid of and this is one of them.

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT ST. PATRICK'S DAY AND TRY NOT TO GET PINCHED."

Remember that there are only 14 left until the Sale-A-Bration promotion ends. Be sure to take advantage of this one a year promotion.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

My friend, Linda, sent me this pretty St. Patrick's Day card.

Linda used her Big Shot and one of the Perfect Details Texturz Plates to emboss the Whisper White cardstock. Then she used her Garden Green marker and put a little dot at each of the points - this just made the card!!!

She used her Heart Punch to punch out 4 pieces of Designer Paper to make the 4-leaf clover. She even gave me a gold coin behind the "Pinch Proof" (retired) stamp by using the Brushed Gold Cardstock.

Remember to check out my March Special that I posted on March 5th. Be sure to take advantage of the Sale-A-Bration while you can.

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!

Now that the Olympic Games are over maybe I can get back to "blogging". I really enjoy watching all the athletes that have trained so hard realize their lifetime goal of just being able to compete in the Olympic games. Congratulations to all the US teams that competed!!

This is one of my favorite St. Patrick's Day cards. I made this last year for some of my friends and next week I am going to help some of them make it themselves. If you would like the directions, please email me at csoehler@bellsouth.net.
