Thinking of You Card Using CTMH You Make Me Happy Stamp set and other products

Hello Friends! I hope you are finding time to craft or to do something else that you enjoy. Life is short and we all need to do what is important to us. Spending time with family is important; but with most everyone staying at home; you probably need a little break from all of that, right? You could always teach your children how to craft, create cards, etc. That way you can do something fun together while staying at home.

Whatever you choose to do, please stay safe. Please wear a mask for yourself and each of your family members, when going out in public, no matter what your state government may say. It can be a mask you made yourself; but it does help to protect you. Also, avoid crowds of people. This virus isn't going anywhere; and it is up to us to protect ourselves and our families. I see the numbers continuing to rise; despite what is being said on TV or the news.

I was able to create several cards last month; so now I am trying to get them posted. This CTMH set of animals is adorable and can be used for any occasion. I love them and they come with several sentiments. It is also an Operation Smile stamp set; which means $7 of the cost of the stamp is donated to Operation Smile for the children's surgeries.

I know the coloring of my cat is looking bad here.

It was one of those kinds of days. LOL!

All Occasion Card Using Conie Fong Dandelion Wishes

Hello Friends! How is everyone? I know this is a tough time for everyone. I think there are still states/countries that are not under lock down; but I think most of them are. This is a really bad situation; but we all need to do everything we can to help keep this disease from spreading and from killing more people.

I personally think any lives lost means we have not done what needs to be done to keep everyone safe; especially our front line workers. To consider 100,000 deaths as great results, makes me very sad and confused. Every life means something to someone. Saying it is ok to lose our elderly population is disgusting to me. These are the people with great stories and they have every right to live, as much as the younger people do.

I know it is hard for everyone. I know it is worse for some people who are without an income. I hope the government gets those checks deposited really soon. My daughter and her family are one of those without a income. She is a hairdresser and they are on shut down. Some of my family is on the front lines, working in jobs that are considered necessary.

I worry about them without protection; because people are not staying at home. Instead, they are remodeling their homes, out shopping, etc. There are many who are not taking this serious; and making jokes about it. I don't know what it's going to take for people to take this seriously, here in the US.

My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones during this terrible pandemic. I see the news and read such sad stories; but there are also uplifting stories where people have survived. It is a very scary situation and I hope it is over in the next few months.

I have been able to do a little bit of crafting. Here is a card using Conie Fong "Dandelion Wishes". I love this sweet image. I love creating clean and simple cards; but rarely do it.
