Long time!
You tell me. With so much hormones buzzing left and right it's really hard to focus on just one thing. Being an agony aunt, a proper aunt, a friend, a wife and a mother is all great and I just love to be in all those places at the same time, but then sometimes I do lose a plot. Haha, if only did it happen occasionally...
With the Valentines coming, there was a lot of hiding and trying to be inconspicuous. However, as they say, the best hiding place is in the plain sight. I mastered it to perfection one day by asking my husband innocently to help me retrieve some card stock out of a die. It was a rosette that was going onto his Valentine card but the blooming thing wouldn't get out of the metal die. Neither could I or my friend get it out (umm...). My husband, priding himself on being engineer, worked it out with a cocktail stick within seconds. He didn't ask where the rosette was going and I didn't mind keeping this information to myself.
Did I mentioned that I got myself some embossing powders? I was very excited about using them and it was my first attempt on the left, on the card for my lovely husband. It's not perfect, but then we aren't either. It's a shame that the picture doesn't show the embossed roses on the red card...
As it was the 14th of February, and my niece was coming to visit us, I wanted to make her feel special. Not sure if she celebrated the Valentines, I decided for a bright card with not many heart-shaped references. I got told later that I shouldn't have bothered with a Valentine card and if I wanted to I could have given her a card without any occasion. Oh well, each to their own I guess. But I'm sure she liked it anyways :P
Even if she didn't, she definitely liked my tea. Out of 20 tea bags of lovely rose and vanilla, I have none left. Will need to buy some for when we go to visit my family during Easter. My little butterfly of a niece will like that for sure :)
And then I was actually asked to make a card for someone else. I was over the moon and felt very special. As my friend saw the cards I made for my husband and niece, she was keen on something similar (but not the same) to what I already made. It was to be Valentines related, but masculine nevertheless. But then, we are women so we have our own way of interpreting what is and what isn't masculine. So if you ask me, masculine is what I say it is :)
