I’ve got a few cards to post for you today, so we will just have to see how far we get 🙂
So I am still searching for that “dream job.”  As much as I love crafting, with all the home repairs we are in need of and some of the things my husband and I want to do, I’ve decided it would be easier to do with a steady income, as you can never really predict what’s going to happen when you are running a tiny online craft business.  Don’t worry, I have no intention of abandoning everyone!!  This blog is my “therapy” and keeps me creating.  It is the perfect mix, because all of the jobs I am qualified for are so totally different than what I do here, my arts and crafts keep me well rounded 🙂  By education and professional experience I am a TOTAL numbers person, I actually have FUN running statistical models.  In graduate school I used to affectionately refer to my advanced stats homework as being like playing with a video game….if you keep working at it eventually you will get it “right.”  And I gotta tell ya….the feeling of satisfaction of being able to make sense of all the piles of what would seem like pointless data, or random effects to most people is much the same way as I feel when I complete a cool craft project.  My life needs both of these extremes to be satisfied 🙂
It would also be nice to work in a field that actually puts my Political Science Master’s Degree to work, and help payoff those student loans…LOL!
The project I am posting today is a wedding card I made for a wedding I attended about a week ago. Â This card was super quick, and you might recognize that it is very similar to other wedding cards I made this summer. Â I think this is because I loved the way that first one turned out, and since I was always running short on time for all the rest I ended up making different versions based on that card. Â The one thing I have tried to do on ALL the cards was to match the colors of the wedding cards to their invitations/wedding colors. Â I thought this would give the cards more of a personal touch.
