Back to the Craft

WOW, I have been gone for far too long. Life has gotten fuller and my busy hands have been itching to get back into the swing of things. Our girl cub is getting more and more spirited and loving being a big sister to her brother cub. Our boy cub is growing bigger and bigger each day. Loving every moment even the tired moments. But each smile and gurgle and coo takes my breath away along with him seeing his sister and giving her huge toothless smiles. It's so hectic with two but at the same time once the rhythm of life takes over it becomes our norm.
As for crafting I actually have been pretty crafty lately! I am doing a women's bible study at my church and each week I am blessed to have some spare moments to make a little card for each of my ladies. It gives me great joy to create and to create with those who are close to my heart makes me enjoy crafting even more! Its such a privilege to have those few moments to put a card together not knowing how the receiver has been doing and to see the smile come across their face as they receive a handmade card.
I finally taken the plunge and opened an Etsy shop. Can you believe it. Well, I don't have much on yet but I'm slowly getting a stock pile of cards. Etsy is fun a little disheartening at times because you really have to market yourself to get the word out that you are there. But only time will tell. I'm excited about it and glad I've finally taken the plunge. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out!

Here are some cards I've made during my blogging hiatus:

A Christmas card bundle. I know Christmas cards, Renee? Already? Well, I'm just keeping up with Macy's as they just put up their Christmas trees. Haha!

Just a few cards that I've put together :)
It's been fun being on "vacation" but now I've back back to crafting-crafting!

This Mama Bear is out!

I am still trying to figure out how to upload links but the name of my Etsy shop is: MamaBearsBusyHands.
If you have time to take a peek I hope you enjoy!
