Rain Rain ... Don't Go But Stay

Rain, rain, go away

Well actually I am a bit different when it comes to rain .. I have the opposite of SADS (you know when most people start to feel blue because the weather is gray and rainy for long periods of time). I seem to have way more energy ... when the days are shorter and darker.

I enjoy sunny days, but not near as much as I enjoy the Rain.

Come again another day

When it rains .... this woman sleeps better ... is happier and has a clearer head. So bring on the rain ... Come again another Day.



Little Cynthia wants to play.

I am so pleased with the choices I have made recently ... even the "overcooked Gingerbread fiasco" ... I vow to learn from my mistakes and very much believe that you get what you give in life. So now for your viewing pleasure are a smattering of cards that I have made (A lot of the designs are created by my good friend, Dragana ... check out her blog at: www.happyinker.blogspot.com)

Thanks to her I have learned all kinds of different techniques and she allows me to share them too .... xD.

I hope you enjoy the following card designs ....

Let's start with a little Christmas ... as it is almost upon us.
