Every woman is good at something.  Whether it's cooking, decorating, planting, or sewing, we all have a little something to brag about.  Well, why not brag about it! 

I've been trying to bring out the little creative lights in me.  All my life I thought my only passion was drawing and writing poetry.  But what happens when you run out of words?  Or you run into a brick wall and can't think of a single thing to draw?  And when you do, it's just not right.  My brick wall was in my way for YEARS.  So, I took an interest in lotion-making.  Yep, I never thought I'd be interested in making lotions.  Wow, when I found out I could choose my own scents and colors and make my own labels, I thought for sure I found something I could drop my job for!  I didn't, of course, but I pursued the art of making lotions. 

Making the lotions was so much fun!!  I am thinking of selling them, too.  But first things first.  I have to find out what my true passion is. 

So I decided to try scrapbooking.  While learning this fun little hobby, I discovered how much more fun it was to make cards!!

I played with Thank You cards for the people who attended my baby shower.  That was so interesting and the wheels in my head turned til I hurt.  My first big hit with card making was for my friend's son's birthday party.  I made cards with little teddy bears stuck to the front.  Not stickers, but small little real teddy bears.  On the inside, I filled the card with pages of her son's pictures. 

I'll probably keep trying different thins.  *Actually, I already have a soapmaking kit*  I guess I'll still keep trying until I find out what it is I am really going to stick with.  For now, I'm just having tons of fun trying everything out.
