Good afternoon! 

I hope all of you Minnesotans are staying warm on this frigid winter day! School is closed and I am enjoying some time in my stamping corner, sipping on warm tea- bliss! 

Just received a phone call from school...another winter day off of school for our kids tomorrow- YIPPY!

I used a combination of Tuesday Techniques stamps, Washi tape, twine and jewels to create these simple little cards, enjoy!

Just enough to brighten a friend's day.

Lovely little Valentine for your hottie! 

 Stay inside, dear friends, do something for yourself today!

Your friend, Nicole

Hello, Friends! 

Well it is a balmy zero degrees here in Faribault with school closed on Monday due to the temperature and wind chill- bummer! Yeah, right, just more time for me to scrap and stamp! The holidays were more than perfect and my sister invited us over for a New Years party and it was a blast! I am so blessed to have such an amazing family!

I woke up on Saturday morning with am email from Etsy telling me that someone purchased a card from my shop! I was so excited, so I checked to see if my mom was my first customer, but she wasn't  it was a lady from New York! Boy, did I feel special! I packaged up the card and drove it straight to the post office to be mailed out. That was so much fun...when I arrived home I quickly ordered some Valentine stamps from Papertrey Ink so I can make some more cards to sell for the next holiday...I am trying to keep up with Wal-Mart but  I don't think that is going to be possible!

One of my goals this year is to make people smile and feel special about themselves, so I am going to make every effort to send a card to all of my family members and friends for their birthday or just because they are special to me. If you are reading this blog, you may be receiving a card from me sometime soon, I hope you enjoy it because I enjoy you!

Stay warm my friends!
Nicole
