H- Homemaker I'm no June Cleaver, but I am so grateful to stay home with the boys.

This is a sneak peek of my new line of note cards. They will be in the ETSY shop soon and I am really excited about them! And, yes, I did cut that out by hand and all the others. I can only say thank goodness for sharp scissors and Exacto knives! LOL!!

what a beautiful middle name {much better than silly Jo} and how nice that it stands for a piece of family history...i can't wait to see your line of notecards...i think you are well on you way to being the "queen of etsy" :) you go girlie!!!
Such a pretty middle name! Mine's Marie-boring!
Anyway, I'd assume you can cancel an Amazon preorder if you wanted. And as for the collage pack, why don't you first make a comment on that post to be entered in the drawing for a free one. Maybe you'll win it so you don't have to buy one! If not, then I'd be happy to sell you one! :)
Wonderful post and beautiful cards! I am inspired by you as well. :) Love this post! :)Thanks for sharing with us!

Cut Notecards, I will have to look at yoyr Etsy store :)
Beautiful name, but Erin, Sweet? Are you kidding me, LOl, I can only say this because I have to tease her, because we've been best friends for 18 years! LOL....
Thank you for visiting my blog too :)

I agree - a Beautiful name indeed! That card is Gorgeous! I finally doled out the money for a really good pair of scissors that cut close and to the very tip. I LOVE them! I've added your blog to my favs. list so others can find your GREAT site!

Hi Jamie:
I tried to print two of your free little girl pictures (from June 11 and July 17).
I must be doing something wrong because the pictures look blurry. I can see some of the pixels.
Thanks, Darlene
Jamie,
I think cabinet cards are so fascinating too. I have a handful of tin types which I really treasure. They are not my family but I adopted them, shall we say.
I have had Tricia on my favorites for a while now. I think her art is very unique and fun and thoughtful.
Amy
Great cards Jamie!! Your middle name is lovely and what a neat story!
Jamie, thanks so much for your amazing comment on my blog - I really appreciated it. I love the namesake name and the story - hope you find out more one day soon.
Happy to teach you to whisle one day - that was so cute!
Amazing that you cut that out! So beautiful...just love it!
What a surprise to find this song thrush´s pic here! I have it in an original bird book edited 1955 and have also used it in my artwork!
