May Open House

May's Open House is on May 2nd. We will be at the Heritage Inn Bed & Breakfast, in Snowflake Arizona, from 11:00 to 1:30. I hope to get a notice you to everyone the first of next week but I can't make any promises on that. I will call everyone to see if you can come or feel free to leave a comment if you will be joining us. I like to have enough make and takes there so all can participate.

I hope you can come and make this Mother's Day card with us. Please RSVP!

I will be holding the class in Snowflake & Chandler Arizona. Please check the date above for the city I will be offering the class in. The location is not yet determained, but I will get you that information before we have the class.

Pocket Silhouettes

Spring is really in the air up here in the White Mountains. The temperatures have be lovely and we have been busy working on our garden. We tested our soil and there is absolutely no nitrogen in the soil up here. We worked on getting all of the rocks out and have added our ammonia sulfate and our steer manure. Oh, the sweet smell of the country. :)

I hope you too are working in your yards and spending time with your family. But when you come in for the night and you want to create a nice spring card here is a cute one you can put together. This card was created by Nancy Alvarez.

To the Nines Pocket Card

This is a nice card you could use for anyone. If you wanted you could change it over to a Father's Day Card. I will be trying to post some more masculine cards as we get closer to Father's Day. I will also be posting cards you could use as Mother's Day Cards. Mother's Day is coming right up on May 10th. I will be doing a Card Class on May 7th if you would like to join me. I am hoping to do it at the library in Snowflake or the Bed and Breakfast. There will be details to follow.
This card was created by Tiffany Miller.



Inside the Pocket you will find this salutation, "Have a Wonderful Day!" This would be a wonderful card to put with a random act of kindness. Or you could change it into a Birthday Card. Whatever works for you.
