Tool Time!

by

Hi everybody. By the time that you read this, I'm hopefully unpacking my stuff at my new home in California! They gave me a rather large 3-day window of March 31 – April 2 as to when my furnishings will arrive. I'm one of those people who refuses to live out of a box and unpack and put my home together immediately. I mean not all the way immediately, but the boxes are unpacked and everything is semi-organized and we're not living in chaos. The first thing is always the kitchen because that has the most stuff and the second will be my craft room, which really has more stuff than the kitchen, but there's an order of importance. We have an awful lot of stuff to do. There's a few neglected areas in the beautiful and professionally done landscape that need some TLC so I've been hinting to my dad that I want some palm trees plants where some type of plant or another has died because it wasn't watered. It sure would be nice to have those palms out front! I've missed living around palm trees, a lot.

Here's another very clean, fun, simple, and masculine card that I have to share with you today. Here's a super easy sketch for you with fun designer paper to where all I needed was to get a bolt, lug nut, whatever it's called, out of the garage, paper piece on my wrench, and stamp my sentiment! The only thing I colored on this card is the silver on the wrench, but let the designer paper do all of the work for me.

I hope that you enjoy this very fun masculine card and thank you for stopping by to see me today. Hopefully soon I can be back to real crafting and show you my first card made in my new studio! God bless and have a great day. Today's Treasure: 1 Timothy 2.

    Sounds like your unpacking priorities are the same as mine.  As long as the kitchen and craft room are unpacked…I am good to go.  🙂
    Hope you get all settled in soon.
    Hugs~
