Hello Friends. It is another beautiful day in Sunny CA. I hope all of you are enjoying the weather where you live. I rarely complain about the weather since I moved to CA in 1999. It is hard to believe that I have lived here for 16 yrs. Everyone tried to discourage me from moving to CA; telling me that I could never make a living here; because it was so expensive. Some things are higher and some things are lower in cost than other parts of the US. The most important factor for me; is the no smoking laws. I have a horrible allergy to smoke; so it is a blessing for me.
I decided to step out of my comfort zone several months ago; and created my first pocket card for my mother; while she was in the nursing home. I really like working with this type of card. It was fun to create. I am just getting time to post it.
