Same love in a New Direction

I have been an avid crafter for over thirty years, having begun making ceramic gifts for my children, family, and friends.  Over the years, my crafting has turned into my therapy, my own personal "meditation", a step back from my profession in hospice nursing.  It is my own time for reflection and mindfulness.  After years of evolving into doing original clay work and working with wood, I am choosing to focus my time on the art of card making.  I was privileged to learn this while working with a beloved hospice patient.  The majority of my site will feature my handmade greeting cards. I will offer all-occasion cards, birthday, Christmas, wedding, baby, occupation, and get-well cards.  All of my cards are crafted with the highest quality cardstock.  I hand-cut all of my dies.  My cards offer an abundance of detailed work, and I treat each one as though I am giving it to a most cherished loved one.  You will see a variety of embellishments, rhinestones, dried flowers, and other very special design elements.  As much as I am proud of my handmade cards and how I began making them, I am also just as proud of my photographic stationary cards.  I am presenting only my best photographs for inclusion on my new notecards.  I am excited to share both of my collections for your consideration.  I hope you find a card that brings you or your recipient the joy I received while crafting it for you.  This is only the beginning.  I intend to add to this throughout the year with fresh, new seasonal offerings.
