Well as always I am doing my best to stay busy here doing all kinds of
crafty things. 
  First of all I just finished making my first shaker card! I have been
going to do this for a long time but just never got around to doing one... 
This
first card I filled with animal confetti for the shaker part... I made a
double sided clear window so the confetti would be seen both on the outside 
and
the inside... I used a butterfly framing stamp to the right lower side of
the front and some of the lovely 3-d stickers I have here... the sticker
says"thinking of you" I also used some silver butterfly stickers on the 
inside of
the card. Then I stamped the inside verse a very simple verse... and because
of the double sided window you can see it through to the front of the card. 
I am quite thrilled with the card. I have another one started here and it
will be in a celestial theme as the confetti that I am using is all stars
moons suns and the like. this one will be a larger card... I actually started
the larger card first ... but the piece I cut from it was large enough to 
ake
another card so the butterfly card was actually the center cut from the foam
board... worked great... so I have two cards to be made right now..... 
  The progress on my Double wedding Ring quilt is going slowly along... I
get a bit done on it every few days here... I don't expect to see it finished
until stping at the rate I am going... but that is ok. 
  I am also progressing well with learning more and more about Pergamano.
Gail Church, Thank you sooooooo much for turning me onto this lovely and
ancient craft. It is so much fun.  Now if I could only find the paper at a 
lower
cost I would feel much better about it. 
  I am also working on my web page... progress is slow... but once I have
things the way I want them I will be putting it up and it will contain all
the information on New Life Creations as well as the BBS that I have run for
years. and of course it will also contain all of my favorite links and
Quilting, Rubberstamping and Pergamano sites and ideas... but more about this
craft at a later day. 
well my day is not getting going as long as I am sitting in front of the
computer ... and Jerry will be out for his breakfast shortly...  
  I can hardly wait to get thinks really on the go today...
