Inspirational Flash cards

You are probably thinking...doens't this gal ever stop making flash cards?  Nope!  I just love them!  I have made some inspirational ones....cause I like to be inspired all day long.
This saying is right by my table that I do alot of paper crafting.  These flash cards are terrific just framed up with some old music paper background.  Old music can be found at thrift stores really inexpensively.
I love a simple statement....it goes a long way!
This set of flash cards (15) are available on my etsy....just $3.69...sent in an email to you...u print.  So easy!  I had these at my last show....so popular!  Will this be the last of my flash cards?  I don't think so.....lol.

Freebie friday- Vintage wallpaper backgrounds

These are some great vintage wallpaper backgrounds....aged alittle too.
These are great to use as backgrounds for ATCs and other artwork.
I love the old styles of wallpaper.  My house is full of wallpaper in everyroom.....my grandmother put it everywhere and in many layers.  She loved to change things up!
There is something peaceful in these designs....an era that is long gone.
I also use these background in soldered pendants and for making tags.  Have fun with these....I love them. 
I hope everyone in Japan gets to safety and they get the help they need!

Mom's Birthday

Mom would have been 81 today......she passed away 13 1/2 years ago.  She was a great mother and I miss her dearly.....she would have loved to been at the craft show today!  For all those lucky gals that still have their moms.....I am sooooo jealous....so I want you to take advantage of the time you have together.  I would be thrilled to have just one more day with her.

Ain't she Sweet!

Here is my late Freebie friday....since it is tuesday...lol.  This is a little girl from my photo collection.  She is adorable and I just have to wonder how her life went for her.  Did she have love, children, ...dreams fullfilled?  I'll never know...but I like to think these people in old photos had an extra-ordinary life....their very own experiences. 
Have a good day....remember .....we are all important.
