This weekend I challenge you to create some handmade happiness! (I’ve been creating cards using Close To My Heart’s *NEW* Let’s Stay Home Stamp Set.) Then Monday morning mail what you’ve created to those you haven’t been able to see in person due to social distancing. The joy you feel when you find a handmade card in the mail can’t be beat. Really.
Today I want to share with you a couple of adorable (and easy!) Wooden Easter Banners that are available from Close To My Heart. There’s still time to order your own DIY Banner Kit and put it together by yourself or if you have kids, have them join in on the fun! They are so quick to put together that you’ll have it ready in time for Easter.
Life can change quickly, as evidenced by the events of the last couple of weeks! Moments like this, where routines are disrupted and the pace of life changes, tend to bring life into greater focus and help us see the things that are truly important.
Today I have a versatile scrapbook pattern to share with you! This particular design would make a great introductory layout for your “Let’s Stay Home” story.
Remember this stack of happy mail I shared earlier this week? Well, it’s officially on it’s way to oodles of my favorite people. I hope when they find it in their mailbox, it brings a smile to their face.
Today’s inspiration is all about preparing for Easter. This morning my daughter asked me if we would be doing anything for Easter since we didn’t really do much for St. Patrick’s Day. (I generally try to decorate our home, even if it’s only a tiny amount, as well as to do or make something a little extra special for that particular holiday to make it more memorable.) Well, with all that is going on around the world with COVID-19, I admit our St. Patrick’s Day didn’t quite live up to past ones.
Last week I shared the idea of getting a jump start on your holiday cards if you like to send out handmade ones. Well, if it’s a little too early for you to start thinking about that task, why not just send out a bunch of happy mail to all those people you care about but can’t physically see right now because of our new norm of social distancing.
Happy World Storytelling Day! Given all that is happening and how quickly things are changing from day-to-day, now is the PERFECT time to scrapbook these moments (if you are a scrapbooker) or simply start a journal if you’re not a scrapbooker. We are making history. These moments that we are experiencing and the things that we are in disbelief about (like the HUGE demand for toilet paper!?) will be what is written in future history books. We are living it. Each of our experiences will be unique but also the same to some extent. While we think we’ll never forget these days, our brains will write over some of the exceptional details that are so fresh right now in order to make room for new memories. Preserve your experience!
We all are spending a little more time at home these days with the coronavirus/COVID-19 situation. As crafters, we’ve been preparing for this day. If you’re like me, you have tons of supplies just waiting to be used. Now is the perfect time to look through that stash of craft supplies and put them to good use! And we want to help you do that!
Today I went back to my past Craft with Heart Cardmaking Subscription Box to make up some quick cards. I was short on time, but I also didn’t want to lose my momentum of working on completing some of my undone projects (we all have them, right?!)
Things are changing rapidly these days. The world we once knew is definitely not the same. From day to day, things are changing so much. Friday my kids’ school was shut down for 3 weeks (and likely longer) and now today they announced starting at midnight we’re ordered to shelter in place, only leaving our homes for essentials like food or medical needs.
When it’s Monday and you have a feeling it’s going to be a tough one, chocolate might be the answer!
Close To My Heart’s March Special, These Are My People, is the perfect way to document all your special relationships with the people that mean the most to you.
Close To My Heart currently has this super fun Wooden Heart Banner Kit available. It’s called the Be Mine Kit. While it most definitely makes an adorable banner, I saw another wonderful possibility that I want to share with you today!
