So I started trying to learn calligraphy and to say it is hard is an understatement. In this box set they stated it would be better to practice on no line paper. Well you will see my paper soon and it looks crazy to me.  How ever I am a visual learner and enjoy the pictures that are in the book. I am using a M nib pen and I find I don’t like it because it makes the line thick and I don’t feel like I have control.

The other thing is, it says to keep going till you feel comfortable…..news flash I never done this before so none of it feels comfortable!!!!!! But I keep going until I feel good about it. So let’s just say this ride shall be interesting. I will be practicing this for ever it seems, but I really want better handwriting especially for writing messages on gifts or cards. I started on the next section within the book and well see below.

As you can see I go from small to big and back to small…..it’s very interesting to say the least…… Well I have to get back to adding my next video to you tube. I will chat with you guys next time, and have a great weekend. To all you crafters enjoy World card making day!!!!!!

I did a video on youtube using the bleach technique. It was fun and it got me thinking about what other ways can I use this. Have you ever tried anything and thought about more ways to use it or wanted to keep experimenting. I like it when you try something and it ignites creativity. When I am on a cleanse day and I am trying to not think of food and what I’m missing I focus really well. I can get 2 or 3 craft projects done. I love making cards and I am starting to grow as a scrapbook maker. At the moment I get ideas from ladies on youtube and pinterest. What new things are you excited to try? I have always wanted to learn calligraphy because my handwriting sucks big time. I just didn’t realize how much practice it would take. I also want to learn cake decorating. So many thoughts are going through my mind and things I want to start. I know I want this blog to be about crafting but I think I want to include thoughts about new things I am starting. Talk about things I like and don’t like about it. I think that I will start with the calligraphy and see how this set works. I know this post was kind of all over the place….just bare with me I had no food today…LOL!!!!!

I don’t know how many of you feel this way, but there are days where I am in the zone and don’t want to move from my desk. Today has been one of them!!!! I hate it when I have to stop and go do something else and the mojo is a flowing strong. Well I know it can be hard to get back in gear after taking a break for whatever reason. For me, I like to get a good movie or at least ones I have seen before and get back into my space and try and create some more. You maybe asking does it work????? Sometimes it does and sometimes it don’t. As I get back into working on a scrapbook for a crop I am going to tomorrow, I’m going to do a Bourne-A-Thon and get crafting. Maybe even a class a wine! (drink responsibly people)

Hello everyone today is my first blog post I am just getting started and hope to have fun with this. I am a learning a lot growing as a new craft-er. I will be posting about the cards I make and sometimes the scrapbooks as well. Thanks for stopping by my blog and I hope to grow and share what I love about card making and other crafts.
