Hello Ladies!
I just wanted to let you know that my husband passed away on New Years Day. I thank you for all the prayers. I will be traveling to sunny California for a little sun and warmth and time with my Mom this week. I am not sure how long I will be staying, but just wanted to thank you for all the prayers.
I am not sure when exactly I will get back, but as soon as I do I look forward to playing with all of you again.

My condolences, Kate. :'( I will lift you up in prayer
Kate,
Keeping you in my prayers.
Glad to know that you have support and will be with those that love you.
Now is the time to lean and let others take the weight.
Louise,
wow! You did a lot of purging. I am impressed!
I actually was given a bunch of things from someone whose basement/family room flooded. Her kids have grown, she's just retired, and is considering moving to a smaller place. I kept a few things, added a few of my own and was able to make up four Medium Flat Rate boxes to go. Made me happy to pass the goodies on.

@Renata Joyner Thank you! I finally figured out the issue. Once you mentioned different platforms for the phone and pc. I had uploaded that picture from my PC. I also had my phone view set to mobile. Once I changed it to full website. I see all the settings you mentioned. I'm pretty computer savvy., but l'm going through Chemo and Chemo brain is a real thing! Thanks for your help!

Hello, Lovlies! I have missed being on here, but it's all been good and I've been busy. My goal towards the end of 2023 was to use up a certain collection of paper I had -- and I did! This year I want to back off even more on the use of dies, and concentrate on using my watercolors, markers, and colored pencils. I'm also going to up my use of the more happy and vibrant colors. I am normally attracted to pastels and neutrals, but I'm up for the challenge. Hopefully, you all reached your goals (most of them at least), and are enthusiastic about this year. A friend and I will be taking a day trip to Pasadena to check out Creative Reuse -- a large thrift store dedicated to crafting -- they even hold classes. Someone close to her and "in the know" told her it's a large warehouse space and that big companies, such as Disney, donate to them, so she's super excited. I hope it turns out to be what she is hoping for. Will try to be judicious and, hopefully, not come home with a bag full to the brim of stuff. Below are a few items I have to offer. If interested in anything, send me a PM and, as always, I pick up the shipping cost. Here we go...
All items are spoken for. Thank you for the interest.

Lercy, the Pasadena day trip sounds fun. I already have my Christmas cards for 2024 made (one of my goals) and I have going thru my crafting supplies. I have some to PIF, some to try to sell and I have already donated a boxful to our local thrift store. And I have only just begun to declutter not only the crafting stuff, but my closet, kitchen and household in general. I would love to hear what other people are doing as this gives me more ideas on areas that I need to work on whether it is crafting or not.
What....you finished your Christmas cards for 2024? How is that possible? I hope to get an eariler start this year, but I was thinking September or October. Well, you are inspiring me to get organized and that is a great thing. I really appreciate this group and hope you all have a healthy and prosperous 2024.

My heart always smiles when I hear of someone decluttering. Got rid of about 87% of all our stuff six years ago, and donate at least once per year. Last week I donated classic clothes and shoes that I've been holding onto and would love to wear, but they all seem to have shrunk! Yesterday I washed and packaged the sheet sets to be dropped off tomorrow. Our new mattresses are 18" deep -- the elastic on the older sheets barely reaches half way down the mattress. Keeping one for the air mattress, but someone out there will surely appreciate the lovely sets. I find Joshua Becker's YouTube channel very inspirational in this area. On my desk sits my favorite quote of his "Owning Less Is Better Than Organizing More". Okay, enough. I can talk about this ad nauseam. So happy for you!

Arlene,
I have been doing small things to clear out the clutter. Tonight I went through my tanks tops that I wear under my shirts. I have a pile to get rid of. Seriously how many tank tops do I need? Even wearing one every day and really only running a white load once a week means I don’t need more than10! I had a ton. In my own defense, the ones I really like are from Walmart and I couldn’t always find them so when I did find them I would grab them just in case.

Lercy, The trip to Pasadena sounds fun! Hopefully, it will be a pretty ride there and you'll have a fun time with your friend. That's great about using up the paper pad! I have used up all of a small set, except some scraps. I tend to like pinks, purples etc. and cutesy images. That's one of the reasons I have asked for some of your floral sets and others in the past, so I can make cards in a different style.
One of my goals is to get our house more organized and declutter. Maxe's Hope (local animal rescue) has a yard sale hosted by a very kind lady here, that is part of the 500 mile yard sale in the summer (June I think), Plus, they have other yard sales, so I want to go through my clothes and belongings and donate things. One of the things I am going to donate is a Baby Crissy doll. I had one as a child and bought one years back, because it brought back memories. She is a Large doll!!! She wears actual little baby clothes. I had been thinking of donating her anyway, because she really should be played with by a child; I even have the clothes to go with her. The decision was finalized when I opened the closet and she fell out and onto my head! lol... (Being short, I don't always get things pushed back far enough in the top of the closets). When I told one of my friends she said "You can't get rid of Baby Crissy". I said, Yes I can. I can take a picture, and I will enjoy that just as much. Makes more sense for a child to play with her than her sit out collecting dust or shoved in a closet. Now we won't talk about Mrs. Beasley and a few other toys my mom saved from my childhood. They are not negotiable. lol...
I think one of my first goals this year is going to be to build my immune system up more. This winter has been a doozey! UTI's, Covid and some nasty virus I have now that is combo stomach virus and head cold flu. I have had fever four days, puked my guts out Wednesday night, coughed my head off and hurt in every part of my body. It has been worse than Covid. (Never thought I'd say that!!!) I'm just hoping that since it's not Covid, (tested twice) it will get better soon. Also was tested for flu and have had flu shot, so guess it's just a really nasty virus. I'm so thankful for Tylenol, Benadryl, Gatorade and Lifesavers.I don't know how they survived before antibiotics and the things we have now. At least when I get well, I can craft more. I'm still planning on stamping out some images and donating some stamps. Going to break this up into two posts, as I ddn't mean to make it this long.
If this is still available I would love to receive it. I have been asked to make a few new to the neighborhood cards.

I guess I must be a little better, as I wouldn't have been able to post this earlier on. And I got to take an actual bath today! I couldn't stand for more than a few minutes without trying to pass out (had to get to the floor), so this was a major improvement.
Hi Patricia, Thank you for your blessings to everyone for 2024! So good to see you!
Kate, You are on my mind so much! Still saying prayers for you!
CreativeChica, you are on my mind too! My heart goes out to you! Saying healing prayers for you!
I pray for all of you, but if I know someone is having an especially hard time, I pray even more.
Hope you all have an awesome week ahead! It is snowing here. So I guess if I was going to be sick, now was a good time.
Stay safe, Stay well. Stay warm!

I sent you a PM. This is not really a good fit for cards as it makes mini 3D houses. If what you are looking for is creating simple and cute cards with little to no coloring, I have a better solution. Look forward to your response to my PM.

For those of you who didn't get a box, I may have a few more things going out and you will get first crack at that offer.
The box arrived today, on a holiday. Thank you so much! We are having fun going through it. There are stamps and punches that I do not own.
ALL TAKEN--will send out Wednesday--thanks for helping me make space JANUARY WEEKEND CLEAN OUT-odds and ends
PM me with your address (US only)-I'd prefer not to send single items as the individual postage ends up being more than a couple larger packs, but I'm flexible. (If someone wants everything, I'm more than happy to send one package!)
What isn't claimed before end of day Thursday, Jan. 18 will go to Goodwill.
TAKEN A. Approx 50 pieces dsp, mostly 12x6-some are SU. No tiny scraps, smallest are 1" by 12" strips.
TAKEN B. SU BRightly gleaming foil elements--# 150431. I didn't know these didn't already have adhesive, and I don't have the patience to glue the intricate details.
TAKEN C. 12 Older style SU ink pads---still usable. Pool party, bermuda bay, tempting turquoise, coastal cabana, pacific point, soft suede, basic black, melon mambo, daffodil delight, rich razzleberry, cherry cobbler, raspberry ripple. Again, would prefer to send all to one person.
TAKEN D. Assortment of clear stamps--most are new. 4 sets from Inspired by Stamping, 2 Hero Arts, 2 untaggged. Variety of graphics and sentiments-I don't know if the sets are complete. A neighbor gave them to me after cleaning out a cousin's home, and I have more than I can use. Again, would prefer to send all to one person-if you find you don't want/can't use, just donate or give away-I don't want them back. If you want pictures I can probably text them to you.

Reason: items claimed
Hello again! I have just a few items. I always feel guilt when I give away something that was gifted to me. However, that serves no one, so I'm parting with some coloring mediums. I've said many times over -- never gift someone an art product, unless you know with absolute certainty that they want it,. If in doubt, ask or gift $$$ which is always appreciated and appropriate. Anyway, here I am. I would like only one set to go to each person interested. PM me and I'll pick up the shipping. Thank you and Cheers!
Thank you all for helping re-home the items.
