Cards, cards, cards...getting busy!

I can hardly believe it is almost Easter.  I hope to make some cards for my grand kids and maybe a little basket or some goodies.  That is my plan...I hope I can get it done.  Things don't always turn out as I wish, but let's hope it does this year. I have a few cards to make this month.  My sister is having a birthday and I want to make her a nice card, then there is Easter, then Mothers Day.  I hope my creative juices are working extra hard, I want to make some really nice cards.  I love making cards. 
I love crafts of almost every kind.  Except sewing, I'm not to good at that.  I can't even thread the needle. lol.  Well, maybe if I could see a little bit better I might be able to.  So, I don't sew...I glue.  If you can't glue it...don't do it.   I learned that verse from an old craft show I use to love to watch called the Aleens Creative Living.  That was a fun show to watch, and learn neat arts and crafts projects.  I also loved, loved, loved the Carol Duval Show.  She had so many talented guest on her show.  I sure wish they had never taken that show off.  What's with that.  Man, it seems that all the craft shows are gone.  Now it's mostly about building, remodeling and that type of shows.  Alright already, have some of those, but not just those...gees.  BRING BACK SOME CRAFT SHOWS!.  It seems like all my favorite shows are gone.  I use to love Guiding Light, the soap.  That was the BEST.  I have watched that show for many, many years.  Even my kids got into it.  We sure miss it.  Thank goodness for youtube. lol.  I guess if I feel like watching an old show or a clip of an old show, I'm bound to find it there.  Plus a lot more.  I love to look at crafts on youtube, there are so many great ideas and techniques.  I wish I had the courage to do a video tutorial like some of those artist.  I keep telling myself to do it, but, I haven't.  I am a big chicken. That is one reason, I make things and then pack them away, I don't have the courage to go out and show them off.  I am glad my kids didn't pick that up from me.  They are so outgoing and have lots of friends, they didn't get that from me.  haha.  Thank goodness.  I wish I was more like them.  ..Yep, I want to be like them when I grow up.  They are my idol.
