I'm still here... somewhere .... every day on Social Media!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Mostly, I am on Instagram as prdesigns </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">

But like some things... what's old is new again! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
I can't guarantee that I will be posting to my blog on specific days or even at certain times... I want to reassure you that I have NOT completely fallen off the face of the Earth.... my favorite hashtag on Instagram has been HASHTAG accountability2018.... and I have regularly posted a picture of some sort, EVERYDAY (well, most every day) </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
If you happen to stumble across me, and want to FOLLOW me or see what I'm up to... just let me know who you are .... I'm a cardmaker and would love to create something for you... or something for someone who is special to you!!!</div>

I am happy... when I get a request to make cards!!! It inspires me to create!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Recently, someone wanted to purchase a few creative greetings.... and I was over the moon! I asked if there was a theme, or a style or a type of card she was looking for.... and she said yes.... she liked animal cards!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wow! I like this person! Decisive..... so, although I had a few animal cards in my stash... it is a fun challenge for me to create some fresh cards. Being motivated often is the muse I need!</div>

Well, it's the perfect day for a Happy Halloween Post... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but that's not gonna happen. Sorry!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's dark, cloudy and dreary out, and one of those fall days that you want your fuzzy socks, a hot cup of joe and a warm blanket to wrap around you... but I think you really have to plan out the <i>cozy</i> to have some of that 'stuff' to make it seem to work out perfectly</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To most... it's<b> just</b> Tuesday, another day on the calendar ... to work... go to school, clean the house, grocery shop, rake up leaves, do the laundry.... later this afternoon, the neighborhood will be a buzz (boo) with trick or treaters... and there will be an element of fun and scary... all at once!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then it's November, and we all wonder how did that happen???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I want to get back into blogging and creating again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I was reading somewhere, that public journaling and sharing of thoughts is quite therapeutic. Who knows how long this 'blog' will be out there in the cyber cloud.... (It has been around for 10 years) It's my little journey and documentation that I existed and actually went from day to day! Some days I had more to say, other days I had new things to show and share! And for quite a few days, I had nothing!!! But that's okay, too!!!!</span></span></div>

Once I upload these pictures, I get to clean off my phone to make room for something else! Right now, my brain is on Technology overload. I've often started a blog post about <i>using it or losing it...</i> and one of my favorite quotes is from Ferris Bueller :<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">That's how I feel about technology and the digital world. If you've made it this far with me, I thank you for hearing me out. Life is moving very fast and I want to see and share as much of it as I can! I love pretty things and clever words and have even more fun, combining them together! What can I create for you? Right now, my purpose is to say... stop and smell the roses, stop and look around, look and see... enjoy the day, or find something, one little thing in your day to enjoy! And share a smile or a greeting with a friend... near....or far!!!!</span></div>

<div>
Recently, I'm all over the creative planet. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
From doodling in a sketchbook, to working landscape in the yard, to painting walls, signs and doors, bathroom makeovers, coloring my hair.... you name it.... I've touched, moved, dug, cleaned, made, purged, hung, hammered.... something!!!!
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I thought I did before pictures.... <i>I have some</i>.... but I'm sure you'll get the idea of where we began with this project.</div>

We are the second owners of our home and have painted our master bathroom twice in the 11 years we have lived here. The house was built in 1999. I'm sure you get the idea of how it looked... huge mirror over double sinks, long Hollywood light bulb fixture, the last wall color was like a poopy light brown. You could almost have a hoe down barn dance with the floor space in here... the carpet on the floor is about 6 x 8.... that's feet! Nobody needs a bathroom this huge.... but heck it was appealing when we bought the house.</div>

He is wonderful at what he has learned to do, and re-do! Beyond the basics, he knows how to re-wire, and fix a leaky faucet, put dry wall up, paint, remove caulk, change out window screens, brick and mortar ... here he is taking the old bar lights off....</div>

We did have to hire a REAL electrician to help with some parts.... see, we have found in this house that either it went up really fast, they were able to go around some of the building codes, the installer didn't know what he was doing.... or all of the above! We had to have an electrician install the actual light box up to code that the wires would go into! We had some other electrical issues (outside).... so we decided since we had the professional here, he would make a few other updates and changes as well!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Right now, with the surge and popularity of shows like Fixer Upper on HGTV, I liked what I saw in the Industrial Farm House look. So, we ordered lights online and made a recycled horse fence wood frame for the mirror. If you are interested further in any of our process, email me at prdesigns1@sbcglobal.net and I'd be happy to share any information.</div>

Here is a look at the cute BRIGHT lights. Found them online after looking through Pinterest. And then with the frame. We knew we didn't want to try and pull that huge mirror off the wall. We had already experienced that with the smaller guest bathroom. THAT, they secured on the wall so well!!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We saw ideas about 'framing' the mirror! We also had a friend tell us about a reclaimed wood warehouse. (Thanks MK) We pre-measured the mirror and found 3 beautiful pieces of wood that were from the fencing of a horse farm. Can't really tell you how to do this frame... we measured, used the mitre saw, sanded, and put it together with nails and plates. You can't really see it, and shhhh, please don't tell, but the bottom part of the frame is warped.... we really didn't feel or see it until we hooked it on the wall.... it bows out on the bottom... so, we fixed it with some velcro!</div>

Fun too! I was at Ikea and found these beauties.... I guess they are getting on the Industrial Farmhouse bandwagon as well as their Modern Minimalist look.... or maybe it's crossover styles. These items were all under $5 each.</div>

The sign, I re-purposed from my craft fair from last year. See what it looked like before... <a href="http://prdesigns.blogspot.com/2016/10/do-you-attend-craft-fairs.html">here</a>. Again, this is just spray paint from the Rust-oleum Coastal Blue Chalked ultra matte paint. Same as the chair. Then I used actual school chalk, and wrote the sign. </div>

This hook is something that has been next to the shower for years. I believe it was found at Lowes... in their hooks and shelves area. Just bare wood before and the silver brushed nickel hardware. I had painted it the brownish cherry wood color that matches the cabinetry. It still looks awesome.... we put our towels there for easy access when we get out of the shower.</div>

He may look different to some, because we get his hair... coat.... trimmed. He is considered a Toy... of small stature. He is cute and cuddly... and he is NOT a puppy.... I think he is over 10 years old, we got him as rescue ... and as the years go by... I'm not sure anymore his exact age.</div>

He is a cutie! I've talked about him on the blog before. He and his big brother from another mother Cooper, who we lost in September 2016 to bone cancer, have certainly given me something to doodle about!

If you don't know already.. my blog... my id... who I am.... is a creative person.... I am prdesigns/creative greetings! Peggy cardmaker.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been making all things crafty & creative for many, many MANY years! Did I mention I create 'stuff'? If you need a refresher.... click on one of the links to the left of this blog, it will take you to something I've made!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My passion has been Greeting Cards.... but I couldn't do that if I didn't have some interest/talent in doodling, drawing, painting, digitizing, stamping and mixing it all together... what an awesome gift from God!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am thankful and grateful! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I kind of forgot where I was for a little bit.... but I know I am much happier, at peace, in my zone, finding my purpose.... when I am MORE me when.... I'm doing, creating every day and keeping the skills I've learned in constant motion!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not behind! I don't need to catch up! I just have to work on ME a bit more .... and what I do is create for the love of it. I share because I want to brighten someone's day. And I need to continue and practice my strengths EVERY damn day!</div>

Most all of my cards are unique and one of a kind hand made! But don't let that stop you! This blog and clicking on my links to the left can give you hundreds of ideas of the different cards I can make just for you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always have cards in stock starting at $3.50 each. I can pretty much re-create anything. And I can custom make and personalize most all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are looking for a whimsical gift or want to send someone a special card... I'd love to create for you!</div>

Hello and welcome to my blog!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a creative soul and love to make 'something' every day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
For too many years, (more that I can count now, but I have a few cards I made for my husband almost 30 years ago...) I have made hundreds and even thousands of greeting cards. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are such a creative outlet for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that God has given me a gift that I try and use every day. I practice all the time to make progress... which in turn, has become my version of perfecting what I do!</div>

I hand doodle all kinds of cards. Doodle, draw, sketch.... paint, computer generate, ink/rubber stamp... and all unique, one of a kind cards! Yes, I admit that I am a copy artist!!! Sometimes I get my ideas from other places... but I do not trace or use someone elses image... unless it is from the paper I get from one of the craft stores.</div>

I admit that sometimes I'm like a kid in a candy store... there are so many cute ideas, posting, blogs, Pinterest and other adorable things out there on the internet....and I am greatly inspired to recreate some of the cuteness!</div>

Hello Friends! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is an ebb and flow to writing and creating! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't tell you how much I missed blogging!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the place that I wrote stories and shared experiences, and where I would show off my creations. Sometimes, I thought why bother? And then there were times I thought I had something good and positive to share and I just couldn't get myself to fully express a thought.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cliches'... I'm willing to get back up in the saddle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another reason to come back to blogging and sharing pictures of daily life or cards that I create, is because it may the best place to keep it all safe! Right here on the WWW for the entire world to view! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been following <a href="https://beckyhiggins.com/memories-natural-disasters/">Becky Higgins</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and she is in the business of Documenting Life. Because of recent weather disasters, she wrote a very important blog post for family history documentors , memory keepers and scrapbookers ... how to keep these important memory books safe... during natural floods, hurricanes, tornados and unexpected fires and other natural disasters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Heavy Topic!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I still have a way to go in reading her post (it's long, but full of great content).... but I feel the topic is important for me to share as well. I have been a journaler for-evah....I have made scrapbooks (faux and real), I take digital pictures, I edit digital pictures in apps and save them to computer hard drives... but what would happen 'IF' .... all those hours of creating scrap books, baby pictures, photo books etc....were tragically left behind and lost.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's important to back up, back up, <b>BACK UP!</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But right now I'm so confused. I don't know the difference between a USB, Hard Drive, Thumbnail, Icloud, Dropbox, fidgit spinner.... and if I'm going to be my own designated keeper of memories... I need to do it with some semblance of order.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, come along with me on this new journey!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
... well, maybe not so new journey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
..... and if you feel it's important to keep your memories safe, maybe I can help you get focused and we can share what we learn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always, I would love to hear from you! I am open to constructive advice. If you can't access a link on my blog, or something doesn't make sense, please send me an email. I always say, I don't know, what I don't know!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I make creative greeting cards and other hand drawn items. Support local artists!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What can I create for you????</div>

So does death. Sadly<br />
When it is a furry friend there<br />
are so many different emotions.<br />

Greeting cards are simple.<br />

I create them from the heart.<br />

Hi Blog Friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Are there some days you really couldn't give a flying hoot about what's happening in the world???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Not give a HOOT</b>: <i>to not be interested (or give a damn)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is always a lot going on... but if you turn off the computer and the television, don't read the paper or listen to the radio.... are you really better off not knowing what's going on? Is ignorance bliss?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I get caught up in this dilemma often!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Is it important to care about what's happening in the world around us? Certainly!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Are there a lot of crazy things happening out of one's control? Absolutely!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Should you try your best to treat others with kindness and compassion? Yes, definitely!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

Can you be all things to all people? No, it can't be done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, with that as my justified answer, I'm going to try my best to continue and SHINE in my corner of the world.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are two recent cards I created in a series of Owl <i>Creative Greeting</i> Cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Book Page Doodle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Most all of my cards are invitation size, A2 which is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2". I doodled on an old book page and added watercolors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Swirly Owl</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This one is cropped close, you can't even see the card back.... but the recipient surely could color in the swirly owl!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do you wish to BRIGHTEN Someone's Day? FuN Mail is a good way to do it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've said it for years, we often don't look forward to going to the mailbox anymore because it's filled with bills or ads for things we don't need. However, if we started a movement to send out more HAPPY Mail, or more FuN MaiL..... it would be a way to let a friend know that you were thinking of them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I make FuN MaiL!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What can I create for you?</div>

Hello Blog Friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Are you looking for some Valentine loving?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I always have some cards 'in stock'.... (currently, these posted today on my blog... are one of a kind and in stock) and because most all of my cards are uniquely doodled or hand embellished... I can re-create cards listed in the categories on the left side of my blog.... however, they are <---- are="" b="" because="" however="" they="">one of a kind</----> papers, inks ...and actual colors might vary, slightly if something is re-created!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, you might like little piggies, or doggies, or cupids or just lots of hearts.... pick out a theme or a color scheme and I'd be happy to create a whimsical <b>creative greeting<i> just for you... for you</i></b> to give to that special someone in your life... someone who deserves more than a last minute grocery store card.</div>

Hello Blog Friends,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are at Week #4 of 2017.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm keeping track of the weeks of the year in a few ways. To challenge myself, <i>if life unto itself is not challenge enough</i>, I subscribe to a Doodle Challenge or two, Word Challenges and Self Care Challenges, that are all documented around the weeks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As my part of the <b>Year of MORE</b>... and the easy way I put a <i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">twist </span></i>on it... I want to be MORE of myself... (not self-centered, and I'm <i>all that)</i> but just turn it up a notch and be, do, share a little bit more of what I have to offer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I may have stated it here before... but like computers, cell phones and any technology... you can have the basic model... but once the creators find something new to add to 'it' to make it better... they number it so you can update and be current. Better than before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, the original me ... <i>was</i>, Peggy. Then I became <b>Peggy 1.0</b>..... right now, I'm way above a 10 currently, (old school, like the movie <b>I'm a TEN</b>) like when people say age is just a number .... trust me... I'm Peggy but new and improved with every experience, learning opportunity and challenge... I'm trying my best to be updated... or up to date.... to give, share, do.... SHINE... with MORE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's one thing I bet you didn't know about me, I make whimsical greeting cards! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>****shameless plug**** </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This hobby of mine really is almost all I talk about here on my blog! Valentine's Day is coming up.... why not send some snail mail to a friend?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BEE Mine</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To be totally honest with you, because when it comes from my heart talking about myself.... I don't know how to be otherwise.... this "hobby" of mine really hasn't taken off how I thought it would. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not ready to give up on it, however! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thought maybe, I would have returning customers, or new customers wanting cards to send to their friends... purchasing every month, or throughout the year. and buying packs of greeting cards to give as gifts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From what I can tell, you my friends love to receive my cards as a gift... but after that... the world has become too busy and well ... sales are non-existent. (Poor me)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm a little sad about it. But hey, I am very blessed and fortunate that I don't make cards or art for a living... I'd really be that 'starving artist'.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From the small amount of research I've done (and actually, I've created a few surveys and calculated the data), people love finding snail mail in their mailbox. The hand addressed stamped envelope to them does really improve their mood and their outlook of the day. It's amazing how they will tear open a greeting card to read it, (nicely use a letter opener) versus tossing in a pile, the humdrum of the bills and marketing advertisements they receive on a daily basis. Snail mail is a card with the hug in its fold!!</div>

With just a few weeks a way from Valentine's Day, I'd love to create some whimsy for you. Contact me in the comment section, or send me an email at prdesigns1@sbcglobal.net. My greeting cards will surely<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Blog Friends!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We are in Week #2 of 2017, how is it going so far? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's one of those things that it's 'hard to believe' how fast time flies', right... I know!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm talking accountability today.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Of course doodling and creating a greeting card</span><span style="font-size: large;"> is </span><i style="font-size: x-large;">not really</i><span style="font-size: large;"> something that is</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: xx-small;">expected to have to justify its actions, being responsible or decisions making.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">.. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">but for me... my intentions are to be fully in my creative space and make something that will eventually Brighten Someone's Day... my purpose in sharing my creativity... the accountability factor is that I am do this, fully involved and ready to spread SHINE in my corner of the world. How would you know what I do, if I didn't show you???</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bottom line, I'm a <i>show off</i>... <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>to <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">make a deliberate or pretentious display of one's abilities or accomplishments.</span></b></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif;">I consider myself a copy artist.

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy New Year blog friends!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so happy you are here!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's time to start everything fresh, right!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Shouldn't we do that EVERYDAY? Each year we have 365 days to start over, there is always such a push on those first few days in January... and then it slowly fades away...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just now my husband went to the gym and I was going to join him in a bit, but the parking lot is full! Always that excitement of 'getting back' into shape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's not by any means that I think outside the box... which I know I should do more... but slow and steady..... I know that for the past two years I have diligently been going to the gym two days a week, at least, and then doing supplemental exercising with stretches and yoga and walking at home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've decided on my <b>word</b> for the year. Something I intend to focus on. <b>MORE</b>... I want to be <b>MORE</b> me! Like a<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b> Peggy Sue 2.2 </b></span>or even higher.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqcSorglj1tBkWSF2Ot4PnyHrN3FIxM_iaoIQlzfFwA6MmMbNQ0236_iwdXuQkLblVT6mja0w0U7vl-CpbzGSXryqNXp7FbBAb4m0x8IDv7l8YlfUJR6ng6zFdRxAlljohx3oBeBbIc4JZ/s1600/2017more-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqcSorglj1tBkWSF2Ot4PnyHrN3FIxM_iaoIQlzfFwA6MmMbNQ0236_iwdXuQkLblVT6mja0w0U7vl-CpbzGSXryqNXp7FbBAb4m0x8IDv7l8YlfUJR6ng6zFdRxAlljohx3oBeBbIc4JZ/s320/2017more-001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I do something, consciously... I want to do it a little better, a little harder, and with a tad <b>more</b> intent. I want to grow and be just a little bit better than I was the last time, or the day before. So for instance... with the gym... I have an idea that I will walk a mile on the track... but when I'm actually there, I intentionally or consciously... walk another 2 laps, or another 5 minutes... something just a bit MORE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm here to change my world!!! And those who are immediately a part of it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think of these goals, and what is really doable. By no means am I outwardly putting myself down.... but to be <i>REAL</i>... I'm not a scientist, or a doctor or even a teacher.... (someone who can make a big difference for many others) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
....but in my corner of the world... I can make a difference this year.... I can give <b>MORE</b> (if it's a donation of money or time.... I CAN step it up a notch). I can LIVE more, by being present in my situation and not comparing the moment to any other or any other person. I can show MORE kindness, I can learn MORE and I can certainly do MORE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the mean time....</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will create MORE artwork and share MORE as gifts and orders to friends and family near and far...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, always a ***shameless*** plug.... cards on my blog are for sale. Just inquire and I will tell you if they are still available, if I have something similar or I can create it uniquely for you!</div>

About 9 years ago a neighbor here in Illinois told me about this cute site her friend was starting called HiLowAha ... it was out of the Dallas Texas area. Blogs were just starting (way back then) and I found the <b>creative</b> content, the uplifting spirit, the fun stories and the purpose to SHINE really resonated with me and where I was in my day to day life as a mom. Fast forward to today, after coming home from a visit to the actual House of Shine.... I have been a 'lifer' ever since... the site changed its' name and is now the <span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="https://www.houseofshine.com/">House of Shine</a></span> with an LLC after it. I have met up with Claudia and the House of Shine three times now ... I want to spread the word, and<b> Spread Shine</b>!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cindy has her own story too. Claudia was Cindy's RA (college Residential Assistant in their dorm) when they attended Arizona State University a 'few' years back. The two C's reconnected through Facebook. Cindy is a mom to four and a wonderful photographer in New Jersey, you can check her out here <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CindyRobbinsPhotography/">Cindy Robbins</a> and she even met her husband on-line. So... the internet can create a good match for some things!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cindy and I had the awesome fortune to meet each other recently, all because of Claudia. She certainly knows how to <b>bring out the best in others</b>. We actually were Claudia's little elves, helping her with a project or two... getting the word to the world about<b> being present, keeping perspective</b> and <b>using our strengths</b><b>.</b> (Those are just a few principles of SHINE)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">With my unique whimsical twist on sharing life, I can write a short story what finding like minded people who share their SHINE are all about. I'll be honest, it's a lot of hard work... and it costs a bit of money... but if you are </span><b style="text-align: left;">relentlessly passionate </b><span style="text-align: left;">to </span><b style="text-align: left;">spread SHINE</b><span style="text-align: left;">, you do what it takes. In my corner of the world... I'm a little elf, a worker Bee, a huge supporter, a lifer, a fan and one who tries to daily </span><b style="text-align: left;">realize the impact of little things.</b></div>

Spread Shine<br />
<br />
And in my corner of the world... I am a cardmaker, a doodler... a creater... and I want to <i><b>Brighten Someone's Day!</b></i><br />
<br />
I can't help but think of this cute little unicorn. Don't you see them everywhere now?? (no, not in your mind... but on mugs and posters and memes?)<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Lessons from a unicorn</span></b>...<br />
There's magic inside you<br />
Anything is possible<br />
Dreams can come true<br />
You don't need wings to fly<br />
It's okay to be different<br />
and<br />
Always believe in yourself if nobody else does.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><b>Today I am going to get moving and spread some shine!</b></i></span><br />
<br />
A unicorn doesn't stand around and worry about other unicorns think of it... it just sparkles! Or in the case... it <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Just Shines!!!!</b></span><br />

<br />
When one door closes, another opens<br />
<br />
What if you aren't in the right room when that happens???<br />
<br />
I always heard, Shut the door, were you born in a barn?<br />
<br />
Talent will get you in the door, but character will keep you in the room.<br />
<br />
I think this time of year a lot of people take a deep breath and reflect on what has happened over the last 11-1/2 months. Right now, there is a constant buzz outside the door... with people holiday shopping, parties, family get together, stress of completing a job/task by December 31, cold weather, glistening snow, joyous music, wrapping paper and everything else. For some... multiply this noise times 10. It can be very stressful!<br />
<br />
Today is the perfect day for opening a new door.... it may lead you some place that you never expected.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Although I still actively seek it (opportunity).... I'm less and less afraid of what is behind the door. Of course I am speaking with metaphors here.... but in reality, when something new comes my way, because it happens infrequently in my life... I try to embrace the situation.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, with 2016 quickly coming to a close... I am looking forward to the new beginnings of 2017, because when life shuts a door... open it again, it's a door, that's how it works!!!</div>

Before the year is over, I need to go back through our European vacation pictures and 'scrap' them. Take them literally off my phone and document them in some sort of book! Chatbook, Scrapbook... something!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It seems like it could be a chore, but there are so many ways to document adventures now a days via apps... finding an excuse not to do it would take you longer than actually NOT doing it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will start out small and post a few pictures here from London.</div>

There was something about Big Ben the iconic tower in the middle of London that I love. Big Ben,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
which is the nickname of the great bell of the clock tower at the Palace of Westminster, it is officially known as Elizabeth Tower after the Queens Diamond Jubilee in 2012. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I could see the Tower from our hotel lobby and we would walk by it at least 4 times each of the days we were in London.... I was in awe. It was beautiful. I was drawn to it! Ben, is my friend!</div>

I am not really a tea drinker. I love iced tea, and flavored iced tea, sweet tea.... but taking time to stop for 'Tea'... is quite unusual for me. But how can you NOT stop at a street corner cafe in the middle of Wimbledon and not have tea/coffee and sweets and most of all.... people watch. I think we shared a latte here.... the company was great... stopping to take a break is the best part of tea time!</div>

<br />
There are so many new ways (let me restate that, new to me) to look up words with all the new techie stuff that has come to this world. I can be reading a book on my electronic device and a word in the sentence of the story comes up... all I have to do is touch the word and the definition will come up.<br />

I just recently created this card for someone special. They are a fan of Shakespeare.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">it took me 0.42 seconds to get a Google search of 463,000 results! What??</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #545454;">When I was a kid, (in the old days ha ha...) if we didn't know the meaning of a word we had to figure it out by the context of which is was used in the sentence. Or, we would have to find a dictionary. And of course, a foreign phrase like the one above, would not be in a regular dictionary... we would have to find an encyclopedia. Who has encyclopedias laying around? Furthermore, if that was a task, we would have to do dexterity research with the library card catalog.</span></span></span></div>

Welcome to my blog, where I like to show off my creativity and share a bit of SHINE in my corner of the world!<br />
<br />
It certainly is Fall in the Midwest. Waking up to temperatures in the low 40s.<br />
<br />
Not complaining, just observing.<br />
<br />
We actually had a long and hot summer. I think most of July and August we had the air conditioning running constantly. Mainly due to the high humidity. I jotted down plenty of times in my daily journal about beautiful blue skies and warm temperatures. And not that beautiful weather gets tiresome... more so,.. when a new season begins... we welcome the change.<br />
<br />

I don't know if you realize, but I create greeting cards! Yup.... I have a passion for creating and a gratification of making whimsical cards that I can sell or give away. If you like my style you can contact me prdesigns1@sbcglobal.net and I can get you some unique and one of a kind greeting cards. Not in the mood for cards today? That's fine... I appreciate you stopping by to see what is happening in my corner of the world.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Has Fall made it to your home? It's a change of wardrobe here. Long pants and socks. Gone are the flip flops and tank tops. Decorations with orange and yellow are dabbled throughout the entryway with scarecrows and sunflowers and pumpkins. And hot water bubbles through the Keurig making way for spiced Chai lattes! Oh, and don't forget about the leaves.... soon on my list are hours of raking!!! Yup, I love fall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
See you back here, soon!</div>

Nothing can dim the light that SHINES from within.</div>

I don't want to stump you with a silly question, but is <i>writing an art</i>? And is there a difference from telling a story and writing it down, and drawing beautiful characters for letters to create a beautiful message to be put on display? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>WRITING</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #6a6a6a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">:</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #6a6a6a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> is a medium of human communication that creates language and through the inscription or recording of signs, symbols, characters and letters.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am so excited when I create something and it turns out how I wanted. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, am I doing writing, or am I doing art?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I practice... a lot... I certainly now know how to manipulate (in a good way) what I create... I don't want to say there are <i>NO MISTAKES</i>.... and I'm not reaching for <i>PERFECTIONISM..</i>.. but if a <i>creative opportunity (an oopsie! drawing outside the line, a wiggle, wonky shape) </i>comes along... I can 'hide' it or make it part of what I'm creating.... because when I practice... it's no big deal to continue on!!!</div>

You do know that you can pretty much write on anything, right??? I've shown this before, but chalkboard art decorations in your home are very popular. I just watched a home improvement show they other day, and new home renovations actually have an entire wall painted with chalkboard paint... so the family can write little notes to each other! Yeah, right!!!! My chalkboard is a thrift find and I love practicing my hand lettering to create a fun seasonal sign.</div>

I have found it somewhat confusing lately, that there are so many similar words being used to describe just ordinary things. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
For instance, handwriting is considered the art of creating letters and character by hand.... what comes to mind is calligraphy: d<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , , sans-serif;">ecorative handwriting or handwritten lettering.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I guess any way you put a 'twist' on it.... practicing your <i>handwriting</i> is a really good thing for your mind and dexterity. A Facebook friend mentioned that she was on a quest and had purposely practiced her handwriting for 600 days straight. To some newbie that might seem overwhelming... some people really are naturals at some things.... but most of us need to practice.... not to seek perfection ... but to make it seem effortless and natural. Seriously, anyone can doodle, draw, create.... some just have to practice more!</span></span></div>
