What TIME is it???  It's JOURNEY time!  

This morning I thought I would try a journey I had never dared to try before!!  I've heard about it before, and know many of my friends are using it... but that scenario usually doesn't end up well!!  But today I JUMPED into the world of AI!!  It's scary, there is no doubt, but it will never be able to take away the creative journey of crafting.  The hands on, scissors out, glue ready craft we all enjoy so much!  A world that TAKES you AWAY!!  But I must say, it does make sharing what you made even better!  

What TIME is it?  It's JOURNEY time!   And right now it's time for a FUN interactive Halloween card!  I'm not sure why Halloween cards are SO much fun to make.  I really haven't ever SENT a Halloween card to anyone, yet they are SO fun to make!  Maybe it was the Halloween crafts we made in school during the lower grades.  I can still smell the Tempura paint.  Orange had the BEST smell!  Or maybe I just liked orange best!..  Trick or Treating in our neighborhoods, back when it was still safe; and the scariest mask back in the 60's was Casper the Ghost!  

It was a simpler time back then and I think that is one of the reasons I still enjoy the fun side of Halloween.  I know there are darker sides, but I choose to remember a time of innocence and fun.  I hope you agree.  

 What TIME is IT?  It's Journey Time!  

So I just LOVE fancy card folds!  And who couldn't love this now retired Stampin' Up! Wild Bunch Stamp of the Month!!  Which tells you, if you WANT it... GET it, because once the SOTM is gone... it's GONE!  I am so glad I acted quick to get this one!  Remember each month is a different stamp or product of the month.  Yours for only $5 with a $75 purchase.  Hop over to my SHOP to see!  You won't want to miss the Begonia Belle or the beautiful Glow of Harvest DSP! 

What is more refreshing, physically as well as SPIRITUALLY, than a Women's Retreat!  I spent this past weekend refreshing in the Spirit at Veronica Joy Ministries annual Women's Retreat!  Nestled in the hills of Calabasas, right down the road from Malibu Beach in Southern California!

 What TIME is it???  It's time to get these JOURNEYS started again!!

What a JOURNEY it has been.  Most of you know my craft studio my husband loving built for me, inside our BEAUTIFUL metal barn burned down in February.  I posted a blog about it, and about how GRACIOUS so many fellow crafters have been.  There is a long road ahead, but it's time to start taking baby steps.

Thank you all for your kind words, heartfelt thoughts and overwhelming generousity.
