All Things Unity Challenge #34 - Butterflies


I made this card for the ATU Challenge #34. It's pretty simple, but I like it.
Basic Grey paper, Vivid Dye Ink, misc. scraps of paper, doodlebug designs rub ons and small brads.
The card size is 4.25" x 5.5"

She's back in BLOGLAND....

Hey gang, I'm back. I took a hiatus, but decided I should get back to my recording of my days and nights...

It's gonna start off kinda boring. I apologize for this now and hope it will get more exciting over time.

I'm a creature of routine at heart. In my opinion, this makes me boring (and easy to stalk, if someone wanted to do that). I do the same things on the same days. I walk the same way to work everyday and the same way back home. I go to the same stores (this is mainly because I know where everything is and HATE wandering down EVERY aisle. I even drive the same way.

I am not going to sum up the last year and a half, but let's just say things are much different and I've had kind of a rough year. I am finally at a *semi-happy* place in my life. I feel I am heading in the right direction (or many right directions).

Last week was a typical week, I worked my day job, my night job, made cards and reorganized my scrap table. This weekend I worked on my mom's birthday card, my cousin's birthday card and some other random card projects. I also cleaned up my scrap mess that I made while creating graduation and father's day cards.

Father's Day was kind of a bust when it came to selling my cards. I had a bunch of custom orders and made a few generic Father's Day cards. I was proud of the generic father's day cards, but only a couple sold.

Graduation cards are clearly what I should have concentrated on this time around. I couldn't keep those in stock. Notes to self for next year!

My day job is challenging, but I'm very happy to be employed and like my boss and coworkers! I feel like I just started there and in August I will be celebrating my third year at the same company! Time flies... tough to keep up with it sometimes!

Because I have a tendency to be long-winded, I put a time limit on this post. I have to stop in three minutes.

I'll leave with a photo of my fridge for your amusement. :)


The wine is not for me. One bottle was left when a friend visited. The second is for guests when they visit and want to drink wine. I currently have one wine glass and one martini glass (for guests since I only drink beer).

The Cool whip container is actually full of thawing chicken.

Time's up, I'll return again with more words and photos later.
