Hello crafty friends and Happy Halloween! I took a drive on Monday up to Ocala, which is the largest town near my Mom. I heard that there was a stamp store there and wanted to pay it a visit. I had a lovely surprise as I saw my Vintage Lace Motifs on their shelf and that is the very first time I have seen them for sale anywhere in the States. It was very cool to see them displayed on their die wall! I felt like a proud Mom! In their honour I have chosen a card for today that I made recently which uses them. I started with a piece of decorative paper from my stash and used the edgeability dies to cut the top and bottom to give it a scalloped look. Next I set to work on the focal element. I cut two of the Parisian Motifs, one in blue and one in white. For the white one, I nipped away the inside piece by cutting right at the base of the lacy edges. Then I tucked those edges underneath the shorter pieces on the blue die cut. It probably is difficult to follow that, but if you have the die cuts in hand, you will probably be able to see exactly what I have done by looking closely at the pictures. Next I cut two of the Vintage Lace pieces and scored through all the sections. I nipped into the centre and then concertina folded all the score lines. Do this to both pieces then glue them together to form a round piece. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with a small circle die and mounted it in the centre to complete my focal element. I cut several of that lovely swirl from the Heartfelt Creations Dutch Iris die set and added them cascading across my card. I wrapped some silky crush ribbon around the card and tied a double bow and added it to the side. A pearl embellishment and a couple of pearl stick pins were thrown in for good measure too. Pierced the edges to give it a nice frame and finish it off. The demo version of this card that I did on Create and Craft had a butterfly in the corner. I rather liked it but they whisked it away before I could get a piccie of it for you, so you just have to imagine one there on this one! All for now, Sue x
The latest in the intermediate car/moto crossover category is this bad boy. It's called Knight and would be the first of its type from Chevy. It differs from other models in that it sports a hollow body space that reduces the orthographic projection area. Simply put, it hugs the road... hard. As a motorcyclist, these

June 21, 2017, Lifestyle, A first date can include so many different emotions, usually all at once. You are nervous, excited, and anxious. Notice, I did not say relaxed, which is most likely the feeling that you want. There are so many things running through your mind “where are we going,” “what should I wear,” “should I offer to pay”? Eeeeek, so much to think through.

First dates can be exciting and a bit nerve-wracking. You're meeting someone new and hoping to make a great impression.
As much as I enjoy stability and routine, and really thrive on being able to expect certain things in my day, there are times I actually love change and welcome anything that stirs up what can sometimes feel mundane and tedious. I had the privilege of traveling with a ministry for 4 years recently, and one of the things I loved about traveling so much was the constant change of scenery, people and location. It was very energizing for me to experience different places, meet new people and learn
