A re-upholstered head-board? In my dreams!
Padded and re-covered chairs? I sat down on that job!
Living room curtains finished? I'm drawing a blank.
Not to mention all the cleaning and de-junking I was going to do. I spent the better part of this year on my coffin-couch watching Bernie Mac re-runs (time well-spent, mind you. I LOVE Bernie Mac!!!).
But lately....(sounds of birds chirping and choirs of angels singing "aaaahhhh")...lately I've been regaining my strength and vigor and passion for hand-made decor. I've a hankering to paint the coffee table (it's been awaiting a paint job for more than a few years). I've a longing to paper the insides of my book shelves (might help them not look so cheap).
I am determined to replace the sheet hanging in front of the master bedroom window for some actual drapes (that was embarrassing to 'fess up to).
But being the kind of person that has to work up to such grand ideas, I decided to post pictures of the cards from card club instead of some fabulous transformed confection of delightfulness.
Remember my card last month? UGLY!!! So I made an extra special effort this month to come up with something that (I thought) was cute. This is it:
Maybe it was the feminine variant I used, but when Curtis saw it he asked "What does 'Benny Ammie' mean?"
"Bonne Amie means 'good friend'! You mean you didn't know that? I thought everyone knew that! Oh great!"
He totally took the wind out of my confident sails. So I wrote 'good friend' on the back so that everyone would know what it meant. I guess I shouldn't assume that everyone can speak French. I can't speak French either so I shouldn't give the impression that I do.
Anyways...here are the other cards that were made and exchanged by the lovely ladies of Card Club. Seriously, if you haven't started your own, what are you waiting for? And if you are in our ward, why aren't you coming (yes, you Jen)?
LUV it!!!
The scanner totally doesn't do any of these cards justice!
Super Cute!
I love having cards on hand for any occasion.
No, Thankyou my friends!

Happy Wednesday!

I love your little puns! very clever. Awesome cards, as usual! I always love yours. I would be totally intimidated to bring my shabby cards to your thing. Seriously, you are all very talented, and I have no idea where any of you find the time to get so creative!
Wow- these are seriously cute! My creative side has been dormant for a while, but this just sparked it. I may need to start planning now if I want to make something presentable. Thanks for the invite!
