Cardmaking

So, I'm a tweetaholic. It's a great outlet for me. I get random thoughts off my mind and I've gotten to follow and get to know some really cool people. One of them being Johnna. I started following her a few months when her baby boy was just born because 1) I'm a sucker for newborns, 2) she lived near me and I thought that was cool and 3) she kept it real. She also has a really cute blog that you should check out as well. 

Anyways, I started following Johnna's journey and soon saw her tweet an interest for other "Crafty Mommies."

Well, 1) I'm crafty and 2) Mommy's my name so SIGN ME UP! We tweeted back and forth and figured out that she had a really fun idea to do 1) a monthly crafty club, where a group of mommies across the country craft and then post pictures and 2) a monthly cardmaking and trading party. Where we all make a bunch of homemade cards and send them out to everyone in our group. I was stoked, this was totally up my alley.

So I jumped on board. (If you are interested too, join our Facebook group or email me or Johnna and we'll get you onboard too!)

I'm still trying to perfect our first monthly craft, some Paper Mache Pumpkins which are causing me a headache, but my Fall-themed Birthday cards were a breeze and so much fun.

Here they are right before sending them out:

*sigh* I loved them. And had a hard time parting with them. But I'm looking forward to the ones that will be arriving in my mailbox soon. I'll be sure to get a picture and post about them soon.
