Ok, so it's been about 9 months since my last post........First off I would like to Thank all of You who sent well wishes, cards and just plain supported me and my family during our crisis. We are on the road to recovery (though I did go on a depression bender for a few months!) and are doing much better now.
So, as I am trying to re-learn Typepad, things may look a bit wonky here and there for a while! Kristin..if you're reading this I may need to ask you a few questions!!! heeheehee
I will share a card I made a couple of months back when we were able to Pre-Order some of the new stamp and hostess sets from Stampin' Up!
This card used the Level 2 Hostess Set "Serene Spring" and the new In Color cardstock!
Recipe:
Stamps: Serene Spring (Hostess Level 2) and retired Garden Silhouettes
CS: Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip, SU watercolor paper
Ink: various for watercoloring
Extra: brads, SU ticket corner punch, 5/8" chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon.
Thanks for stopping by, and I'll be back either later today or tomorrow!!!
SOOO great to see you back Melanie!!! What a tough road to travel girlfriend - HUGS!!!!
Great card as always!

welcome back to blogging! I was nicely surprised when I saw new posts, lol, I was just checking and what a surprise, not one but 2 posts for the past few days.
I love the card and the watercoloring.

So glad to see you back in the blogging world, Mel!
I sent you a couple emails lately about the upcoming retreat. I just wanted to make sure you got them. Can't wait to meet you in a couple of weeks!

Melanie-I am so glad to see you back. I would see old posts or cards that you had uploaded about on TAC sites or old ones in ASB and wonder how you were doing.
Big hugs to you.
