WOYWW 603 -Poinsettias and Popups

 WOYWW?

Joyous Holidays all!

I know poinsettia grow wild and free somewhere, and here we scientifically control their indoor environment , give them drugs to start  growing and stop growing, and goddess knows what is prayed inside the greenhouses (for workers to breathe) and then for $4.00 I get at least a month of color and enjoyment out of them.

Somehow this inspires me!

The little  the green box with the red holly berries is a  cookie box- the ATC with the red bow was made out of leftovers.

You can read more about that

 The cute little snowmen also have a story to tell.

Last and never least Brave Girl Cards.

Can you tell Santa brought me the new Tonic Deckle Edge cutter?

Dear Deskers, no telling what this new year will bring, and I'm feeling grateful knowing for sure there will be more WOYWW's!

I seem to have issues leaving comments on some blogs- FYI- if you use blogger, make your comment box a pop up, and for some reason that makes it easier to comment.

Comments and Questions Welcomed.

Happy Fathers Day-The Back Story

I haven't made a Fathers day card in a long time. My birth Dad died young, and Grand Pop Larry, as he was know died almost 20 years ago.

One of the things they had in common and shared with me, was love of the sea, so when I found this shell themed paper, the rest just followed.

Construction details and product links are over at Quietfire Creations.

Both Dads, had their strengths and weaknesses and both encouraged and supported me, to become a strong independent woman.

Both of them were on the quiet side, and not at all showy, so I held back from my usual glittery self.

I never gave either of them flowers, and I wish I had.....

Bouquets for both!

The Queen Annes Lace stamp is from the Weed Love Set by Bibi of Natures Print Shop. Bibi is a guest Designer for Quietfire Creations and creates her stamps from live plant material. Thanks Bibi!

I'm passing this card on to my daughter to give to her Dad, who helped to make me a Mom of my three amazing children, for whom I am eternally grateful.

Happy Family Days to all!
