What is on my workdesk?

Hello All,
  I'm trying to work in my studio on my current project and my kitty keeps climbing up on my desk and getting into my photo box!
  She, her name is Bunny, is forever into things!  She likes to knock over my alcohol inks, picks out my sewing needles out of the pin cushion and swat them around on the floor, chew my pencils and roll my copic markers around!

  Here Bunny is finally relaxing!  Maybe I can get some work done.  No pictures will be taken for awhile yet I guess lol.
  Have fun crafting and creating!

Marci Easel Card

Hello All,
  Here is my very first Easel Card!  I made her for the birthday challenge at La La Land Crafts.  Please head on over and if you are not entering, please vote for your favorite card.  The winner with the most likes wins a 36 count Copic Sketch Marker set!

  I entered this card to the following challenges:

• Craft your days away
• Birthday Sundaes

  My daughters birthday is Wednesday and she'll be 22.  She is my middle daughter and just moved out and is in her own apartment.  So, I only have my 16yr old son left.  I am getting close to being an "Empty Nester".
  Well, that is all for now.  I hope all of you have a very crafty and creative day!
Hugs,
Carolyn

Butterfly Magnolia

Hello All,

  I made this card for three challenges.  She is the Magnolia Butterfly girl.

• Copic Creations:  Landscapes
• Magnolia Licious Highlites:  Paper only
• Magnolia Stamp Lovers:  Sketch

  I finished reading "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See and it was very very good.  I was reading it for the Color Me Creative Bookendz site.  It is about a friendship between two women who grow up in china.  That is all I'm going to say because I think you should read it.  It is also becoming a movie soon.
  Well, this next week our work is picking up.  It's the first time we'll be working overtime since the earthquake and Tsunami hit Japan a few months ago.  I'm kinda bummed because I was enjoying the 8hr days.  I was getting plenty of sleep and getting some crafting and coloring done.  I really enjoyed my 8hr days.  Boy am I going to miss them.  I really don't like working overtime "sigh".
  Well, I hope all is well with everyone and that your creative juices are flowing!
Hugs,
Carolyn

Nu Shu

Hello All,
  Here is another project for the Bookendz challenge.   I was hoping that the tag would've looked a little better.  To me it kinda looks "flat" if you know what I mean.
  The Chinese symbols mean "Nu Shu" which is an old script meaning "women's writing".  It was used exclusively by women in Southern China.
  The book we are reading is "SnowFlower and the Secret Fan".  It is a very good read and I highly recommend it.
  Have a great crafting day!
Hugs,
Carolyn
