Lobster Shorts card making, crafting, happy mail

Mail And Craft

I went to visit my parents this weekend, for the first time since COVID. It was so great to see them, but nerve-racking and second-guessing myself if it was safe enough yet. We were distanced, wore masks, and stayed outside. I would like to see them again soon and will use the same precautions.

I made this card using bleach, with a technique I learned on YouTube, using a Gina K tutorial. I liked the way it turned out and will be mailing it to my folks on Monday.

I got a new cutting die in the mail on Friday and experimented with a new card. I paired it with an embossing folder that also arrived recently. The embossing folder reminds me of a car tire, as well as the knitting pattern it was designed as. The card I made does NOT suit the weather and I’m still having trouble with heat embossing, but whatevs. I’m still learning and having fun with it.

I Got Mail!

Today was a one of those days that make me happy. I had an extra day off work, I received a letter from a friend, my Hero Arts package arrived, and my sweetie surprised me with a gift.

He sent me a bottle of my favourite wine, just because. How did I get so lucky?? This wine isn’t available locally, he had to order it directly from the winery.

My June 2020 Hero Arts kit arrived today. This is one of my monthly card making subscriptions, and I love it.

Today was just peachy. It rained and I relaxed with a book, went for a walk (when the sun came out), was spoiled by my fiancee, and received some pretty cool mail. Yes, it was a good day.
