With the exception of adding a acrylic paint, today's cards are just a neat spend on the cards I shared with you yesterday. You may have noticed, I have not decided what greeting/sentiment I want to put on the front of the cards. Still pondering. Take a look [anyway] and share your thoughts.</div>

<div style="border-image: none;">
So much went into each one of these cards. </div>

Happy Hellos Everyone!<br />

I hope you have manage to tackled the "Hump" in your Hump Day. I also you enjoyed yesterday's card. Hopefully, you will find today's card just as nice. Today's card is the perfect card to bring along to the celebration.<br />

Happy Hellos Everyone!<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Easter weekend. My holiday began with a bump or or two and ended in a bit of a swirl. However it was a fantastic weekend. As I mentioned in the previous post, I am just all about the oxidize inks and today's post is a mixture of oxidize inks and Copic Markers. Take a look and tell me what you think.<br />

Happy Hellos Everyone:<br />
<br />
I hope your weekend has kicked-off on a fantastic start.<br />
<br />
Last year was not a high producing year for me when it came to creating my handcrafted greeting cards. It appeared as though I had more interest in creating my keepsake boxes. Often times the mojo just was not there for producing cards. I'm not sure why. People were still having birthdays, getting married, and celebrating throughout the year, but what a difference a year makes. I have produced over 100 cards since the end of January. All I can say is, "WOW!"<br />
<br />
I have totally fallen head over heels for Tim Holtz Oxide Inks and it shows in several of my cards. Today's card is not without exception.<br />

I hope all is well with you. Lets get right in to today's card. I think it is the perfect card to send to that special person who is feeling a little under the weather or that could use a break. I truly believe this would be a way to brighten their day.<br />

Happy Hellos Everyone!<br />

I know it has been over a year since my last post. So much has happened and things continue to happen. I think that thing is what many refer to as life. LOL! I can say I have been at my craft table working hard at creating all sorts of things and I can hardly wait to share them with you. Over the past six weeks, I have created more than 100 cards. I am convinced I must have bumped my head. LOL! Now, you know, that's not true, but I can honestly say I having lots of fun. Today's card was no different.<br />

Tim Holtz and his Oxide inks. I</div>

four to five hues to create this ombre </div>

I hope all of my East Coast neighbors have shoveled their way out of the icy snow. I wanted to share some invitations I was asked to create for a 50th birthday celebration. Just in case some of you are wondering, I had no influence on the color selection which is lavender, black, and silver. [Smile] I can also say, "I did not have an issue with it either. Ironically, I know of another person that will turn 50 this fall and he select the same colors. <br />
<br />
<br />
Take a look and please feel free to share your thoughts.<br />

It maybe difficult to see looking at the pattern paper; however, I cut each invitation on an angel. Adhered, the two front pieces and the bottom together. I attached the information card to the lavender embossed paper and slid it into the invitational fold. I polished the invitation off with lavender tool and enhanced it with a clear rhinestone.</div>

Happy Hellos Everyone:<br />
<br /><br />
I hope your Friday has kicked-off to a fantastic start. I have a wonderful keepsake box to share and I think you will thinks it's a pretty nice box too. My initial K-Cup inspire keepsake box was made because of my sister. She would often find herself giving her K-cups out. People would stop by her office and ask if they could have a K-cup. Well, she wanted to put a stop to that. So, she asked me to make a box to store her K-cup in...kind of like an out of sight, out of mind sort of thing. Take a look...<br />

I hope all is well with you. It's hard to believe February 2017 is just now a memory. Every since I returned to my blog, I have yet to post a greeting card. Well, here are a few I stamped out a while ago and did not have a chance to share with you until now.<br />

Happy Hellos Everyone!<br />
<br />
I hope you have been enjoying my parade of handcrafted cigar keepsake boxes. My fingers are mentally crossed. Since I believe you have, I have another unique keepsake box to share.<br />
<br />
I have been fortunate to have traveled the globe. So, when I saw this line from (who else?) Graphic45 I had to have it. As I began to peer over the various designs in this line, immediately, I was taken back to some unforgettable places, experiences, people, moments in time... I caught myself smiling. Take a look, you may catch yourself smiling too.<br />

Happy Hellos Everyone!!!<br />
<br /><br />
I hope your Saturday kicked off on a high note. Let me just say, [in case you were wondering] in no way have I given up on creating what I love best and that is of course creating wonderful greeting cards. Lately, I have enjoyed creating wonderful keepsake boxes. Perhaps, by this time next week, I will have some greeting cards to share with you. However, as for this moment in time, I has a special keepsake box suitable for so many occasions. It's perfect for that themed baby shower, that lover of wild animals, or the individual that has just returned from a trip the safari. This keepsake box would be the perfect place to store those unique findings and photos. Take a look and be sure to share your thoughts.<br />

I have a wonder project I have been working on for quite sometime. It's just one of a few projects that has consume my interest over the past couple of months. This unique repurposed end-table is the perfect gift for the cigar connoisseur in your life. It would be the key focal point in a Man Cave or DIVA's Den, a family room, a bachelor's pad, a barber shop and so many other places. Scroll down and take a look and be sure to share your thoughts.</div>

Happy Hellos Everyone:<br />
<br />
I hope your weekend has kicked-off to a fantastic start. I'm going to get right into things. I have to admit, I am an entertainer--some might say an ultimate entertainer. I love a reason to come together with family and friends. I love to pullout my favorite dishes, decorations, and of course my recipes. Every now and again, I am able to incorporate some of my keepsake boxes into some of my special occasions. I find that happens often at Christmastime and throughout the year, a box or two will enhance a table centerpiece or the focal room.<br />

Barnum & Bailey Circus<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Happy Hellos Everyone!!!<br />
<br />
It has been a long time since the last time I have been on my blog and just as long as it has been since I have had an opportunity to talk with many of you. Well, as the famous line goes....I'M BACK and ready to share with you some of the things I have been working on. Just today, I learned Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus are closing their doors after 146 years of entertaining so many generations. I remember my mom taking my siblings and I every year. In turn, I made it a tradition to take my son to the same circus. I have been told, all good things come to an end. Ironically, I finished a keepsake box with a circus theme recently. Let me know what you think.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">It probably will not take long before you figure out I used Graphic45. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I love the old feel of yesterday's circus.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Did you notice the how the original banding of the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">cigar box blends right into Graphic45 color theme?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This is one of my unique cigar box. Unique in the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">sense it is not very often I come across this style of box.</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This cigar box is also unique in the sense it only</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> has three sides. So, I created a faux window using plastic. </span></div>

I hope all is well with you. I have been trying to get back here since May 14th, but I have been busy crafting. What about you? What have you been up to?<br />
<br />
Today's post and the next two post to follow will have a more artsy...less crafty feel to me using the same technique. Take a look and let me know what you think.<br />

<br />
I hope your week began on with a fantastic start. Mother's Day was terrific. I had a wonderful time with my son I even talked him into wearing my favorite color for Mother's Day. I'll try to remember to post a photo of the two of us before the week's end.<br />
<br />
This weekend I was a vendor at the Blooming Arts Festival in Reisterstown, Maryland. Although the rains arrived than I hoped, we managed to have a successful day before the downpour. A big thanks to everyone that supported <i>The Peddler's Gallery</i> with a kind word or a purchase or two.<br />
<br />
I still have a crush on some of the latest releases from Stamping Bella. This have been a big hit with lots of people and the card is terrific for just about any celebratory occasion.<br />

I hope all is well with you and yours in your corner of the world. Often, I'm always telling you what I have created or what I am planning to create. Before I forget, be sure to let me know what you are working on and so I can come checkout your creations.<br />

Happy Hump Day Everyone!!!<br />
<br />
Can you believe it? Two days in a row. I guest you could say I am on a roll. I know I haven't posted much since this past fall, but by know means does that imply I wasn't being creative. A week after Christmas and all throughout that wonderful winter many of us experienced, I did nothing but craft. Every time the local meteorologist forecast snow, I checked my supply inventory and did the happy dance. When word was received that my office doors were closed for the day (or two), I danced some more. I danced enough to create quite a few things that I cannot wait to share with you. I have created cards and boxes, and a few wall hangings too. I have a few more things up my sleeve you may find interesting too. My goal is to continue to expand my inventory while staying true to all things paper [or paper related].<br />
<br />
Some of you may have seen this adorable Senorita image from Stamping Bella. I just absolutely adore her. She definitely make me want to smile and I hope she has the same effect on you.<br />
<br />
Take a look.....<br />

Well...HAPPY HELLOS Everyone!!!!!<br />
<br />
I have been away from you and my blog for far too long.You wouldn't believe how much time it has taken to get back here. I have been trying to post for months. On Sunday, (thanks to Niki) I decided to get back into the swing of things. I could not figure out my log on or my password. Finally, I managed to get into Blogger, but I wasn't having any success with my dashboard. Needless to say, but I will anyway...it's Tuesday and I am finally back to blogging.<br />
<br /><br />
So much is happening with <em>The Peddler's Gallery</em>. I have been busy--good busy that is. This past weekend was nothing short of wonderful. On Saturday, I vendored at the Baltimore Washington International Airport Hilton Hotel for the Delta Sigma Theta, Inc. Prayer Breakfast. My cards and boxes were a big hit.<br />
<br /><br />
Although, Saturday's event was absolutely wonderful, Sunday's event was the icing on the cake {sort-a speak}. You will NEVER guess who I met at the Annual Catonsville Flower Fest & Garden Party. Before you scroll down to the very end of the post be sure to take a careful look at each photograph. Perhaps you know this person too.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Happy Hellos Everyone:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I know it seems as though it has been forever since I last
long on to blog. Hopefully, not as much time will lapse between today and my
next post. I have been busy over here at The Peddler’s Gallery. Autumn blew in.
Then there was the release of <em>Blew Monday</em>, and I cannot forget Christmas. In
between all of that there were lots of arts and craft shows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I took a little break and by mid-January, I
was back at creating once again. In addition to my paper crafting, I have
attended a few book reviews for<em> Blew Monday</em>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I sold out of my first shipment rather quickly. Not to worry, the next
shipment should arrive soon. If you haven’t already done so, feel free to visit
my website at </span><a href="http://www.thepeddlersgallery.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">www.thepeddlersgallery.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
to secure your copy. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have lots of projects to share, but today is all about <em>Blew Monday</em>.My most recent review was held this past Friday in Columbia,
Maryland. Below is a photo of the wonderful women I had an opportunity to meet.</span></div>

<em>Blew Monday Reviews</em> are meeting new people and discovering just how involved my readers have become with each character. It's such a terrific feeling!</span><br />

In the mist of all of those exciting events, I have not only been able to created a few wonderful keepsake boxes and greeting cards (just haven't managed time to photograph them), I finished my book...<em>Blew Monday</em>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I will have my first book signing on Saturday, November 9th at The Secret On Main Street Artsy Boutique, 214 Main Street in Reisterstown, Maryland from 1:00 PM until 5PM.

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; line-height: 150%; text-transform: uppercase;">ALthough
he was standing in the center of </span><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; line-height: 150%;">the<span style="text-transform: uppercase;"> </span>doorway, Clarke didn’t spot him at first.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>She was drinking her preferred gourmet
tea, French Vanilla Blend<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, </i>when she
raised her eyes above the rim of the hearty tea-mug she held onto so firmly.
Her petite hands gave an impression they were even smaller when she interlocked
her fingers snugly around her favorite mug. However, she immediately noticed
him when he entered the room. It was discernible for anyone to assume this was
his first visit to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bigelow’s</i>. His
eyes gazed around the room like a feline on the prowl for mischief only he was
searching for some familiarity.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; line-height: 150%;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Almost in a whisper she asked,
“What’s he doing here?” She glanced at her wristwatch. “He’s not supposed to be
here for another hour.” <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">God, he looks
good!</i> Clarke thought. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; line-height: 150%;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">He looked as though he’d just stepped out
of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Essence’s </i>Sexiest Man of the Year
Issue. His locks, that gently swept his shoulders when they were loose, were
pulled back in a neat ponytail that now hung slightly above his shoulders. The
colors he wore weren’t just for the season; it was as if God created those
colors with him in mind. He was casually dressed in a pair of pleated platinum
suede slacks that anyone could see were tailor-made to fit him and him alone. His
baby blue powered ribbed turtleneck clung to his body like the color blue
clings to the sky. A silver crucifix hung down his chest—not too big, but not
too small. Amazingly, the crucifix matched his ego—it was just large enough to
indicate, he was one of God’s children. Clarke always heard people say,
“Clothes make the man!” but she thought, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Uhn!
Uhn!</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Not in his case.”</i> In this
case, he definitely made the clothes. He always looked like he was dressed for
any occasion. To Clarke, he could have entered the room after pumping iron for hours
and he would have still smelled amazing, like the first time she brushed up
against him. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Clarke placed her mug of
French Vanilla Tea back on the table. She positioned her unusually warm hand
over the right hand of the man she cared for, so dearly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He liked that. He liked her gentle touch. It
always soothed him. Thinking back Clarke couldn’t believe how time had allowed
them to stock-up on treasured memories only to be robbed of them later. The memories
they shared were as fresh as when they were conceived. No matter who would
become a part of her tomorrow, her reminiscences of their time together would
forever remain a part of her, a part of her history. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
