"doodLe-worthy"

We are daily in a constant state of learning. As we accept "this and that," other things we choose to reject. Either way, we learn. Here are a few thoughts I've decided to note. Some are humorous, so laugh; others...are just to make you think (wink).

"Never a truer heart than the unconditional"

Sometimes words are not enough, but actions are necessary. Showing someone you care, no matter what, is priceless.

"Dear dedicated gamer, thumbs can also turn book pages."

 Gamers. What can I say. Put down the controller. There are ways to use your time more wisely, lol.

"Follow the right mentor closely enough and soon you'll turn to see others following you!"

Find someone wise, someone godly, to follow. Learn from them. Eventually, you'll catch on and become the leader of those you never knew were following you.

"This never justly interprets this."

An error: texting your "feelings." We all understand that this allows for no emotion. Put down your phone and try talking to the person you care about. You'll be surprised how much farther those words will go.

"Wisdom wins every time."

Truth. Try it.

finally, Fall came...

...and I thought I'd include you in on my latest project.

step oNe -- The prep for this project was almost complete. It's important to know your client that you might choose your materials accordingly. A myriad of supplies, paper in various warm fall colors, a pleasant view, "hoppy" music, and coffee... now I'm ready to go!

step twO -- Now comes an important part...matching embellishments with paper and adding layers of texture. Although this is a set of cards, you must make each card special. No two are alike. Be prepared to spend a large amount of time here for a veRy happy client.

step tHree -- This particular order involved writing inserts and addressing envelopes (many of them, lol). Here's a tip from a girl who knows better:  the fine tip Sharpie pen is the tool to use when writing. You'll never go back once you've used one. 

step foUr -- One of my favorite parts of the process is packaging. I believe it's the joy I get from putting my stamp of approval on what I believe is a job well done.  Once the sets are neatly organized and banded together with natural papers (which I special order), the package is ready to be delivered and I can now shout "Onto the next!"
