We could be buying more crafting supplies and creating.....What a bummer. right? LOL<br />Great bags for crafting on the go. I have spent a lot of time colouring on the go and try to keep a bag packed and ready at all times. (This time last year my Dad was in hosp. for about 6 weeks so I would colour as I sat there with him each day when he slept. Sadly he passed at the end of Oct. but he enjoyed seeing what I coloured and that brought a smile to his face.)Teresa Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07711001591787075268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923013566219322575.post-43055841567151879862017-10-02T22:37:44.101-05:002017-10-02T22:37:44.101-05:00What a neat idea to keep it all in a bag! :) Since...What a neat idea to keep it all in a bag! :) Since I would rather invest money into stamps/inks/etc, I end up making my own envelopes instead of purchasing them. I pretty much just cut and score a piece of pattern paper that matches the card. That way, not only it looks nice, but I also use the pattern paper that I probably wouldn't ever get to use. I do hope to find the sources to invest into envelopes soon, though! Today I finished up two cards to be sent to family members in Brazil, and one to a friend in Canada. I heard that mailing prices went up; and so I know I'll be stopping at the post office to check if I have enough stamps on it :) thank you for sharing such great tips!Milene Tiberiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12865947162040641594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923013566219322575.post-66676288845519663502017-10-02T21:31:41.107-05:002017-10-02T21:31:41.107-05:00I received a card last week from a friend thanking...I received a card last week from a friend thanking me for helping in a ministry she is involved with.

Last week she had a stroke, which could have been fatal if she hadn't been at a meeting where friends quickly called 911. She was taken to the hospital where she had surgery and now has been moved to rehab. I've started showering her with cards from organizations we both belong to just to let her know she's loved and everyone's praying for a speedy recovery. A card is going in the mail to her today and I'll try to get another made a little later this week to send to her. She's amazing and very special to me.Judy Inukaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12187297153298744486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923013566219322575.post-1186792934664899162017-10-02T09:12:11.589-05:002017-10-02T09:12:11.589-05:00Oh my word!
