Gosh, where did the time go. It's been two months since I posted a blog and a lots happened!
I was worn out in April and took a break from everything prior to a trip to Europe to recharge our batteries. We visited family and friends before heading to Switzerland for a week. We'd planned to hike in the mountains and stop off along the train route at cities we'd never visited before heading down to the Matterhorn, but unfortunately a bacterial infection made us both so sick that we couldn't do much more than lie in bed and look at the fabulous view out of the windows. We love Switzerland no matter the weather or our health, so if you're going to be ill, that's the place to do it for us and we had a wonderful time in spite of things.
Once we were home again, I was laid low for 3 more weeks but emerged full of enthusiasm to make my new shop 'Eco Friendly Cards' as full and gorgeous as can be. I've been working hard on it ever since and now have 116 handmade cards for sale as of today ... phew!
I've been investigating making a light box as I'm having trouble with shadows, so that's my project for the next week and I'll blog on it shortly.
In the meantime, the latest update as far as charitable donations is that I have $12.50 set aside towards the next Kiva microloan - that's halfway there, so my goal before the end of June is to have raised the rest and made one donation if not two!
