Hope the Bear

Hope the Bear (Helps Other People Everyday) will be visiting the nursing home about once a week. She will be passing out handmade cards to those residents that have had a bad week or who have no company. She will also attend the monthly birthday parties and the holiday parties. She plans on giving out goodies at these parties.

and her daughter Becky made Hope's costume. Today, September 29, 2011, Michael and I drove to the Dulles Expo Center to first meet Gi-Gi and Becky and second to pick up the costume. These two ladies are the kindest ladies with the biggest hearts. They were exhibitors at the quilt show and they were really drawing in the customers with their personality. Here are some pictures taken of the day.

Second lof stamps

Same information as in lot one, just different stamps. Still a lot of ten wood mounted stamps.

Lot one of stamps for sell

These are wood mounted stamps for sell. They are in excellent condition. I will mail them with delivery confirmation which is not included in the asking price. Some of these stamps have not been used. I am selling for health reasons and because we are downsizing and I have gotten into digital stamping. If you have any questions just ask me. dpost757@verizon.net $15.00 plus postage if you buy more than one lot, we can discuss postage and final bargain

More copic images

cards made with copic markers

these images are not ready to be placed on card fronts. I just wanted to show you what I have been coloring with my markers. I will now go and cut these images out and mount them on paper and then place them on the front of cards. Please let me know what you think of my coloring. It is so relaxing.

New cards

I just love making cards from CUP. Here are a few that I made yesterday.

New cards for May

Some of these cards are decorated in the inside also. I have different prices for different cards. I have really enjoyed making them. I can't concentrate making them and have my mind on my medical issues at the same time. God has blessed me with my hobbies. He has also blessed me with a husband who supports me and encourages me in my hobbies. God is good.
