Our 14 month darling Grandaughter, Noelle, at opening night of the Orange County Fair. Showing off her love of corn on the cob, obviously inherited from the Nebraska side of her familyšŸ˜‰!!

Had an epidural in my lower back this morning, serveral long epidural needle sticks, in an attempt to help with my anguishing back pain. Had these done many years ago for the same reason, but back then, they didnā€™t help.

Asking for prayers please, please, please, that this time, I will get some relief, as we are very close to being out of optionsšŸ™šŸ™šŸ™šŸ˜¢!

These are the days Iā€™m very thankful to live in Southern California and be lucky enough to have fruit come right out of the ground and be able to eat it that same day. Right now the amazing strawberries are coming out. Moe brought some home tonight from our Farmerā€™s Market we have on Tuesdays in our downtown Huntington Beach and they were so beautiful that I just had to take a picture of them. And then the thought hit me that they would be awfully good with my Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Caramel Waffle Cone Squares.
And oh wow, were they ever yummy!!! Feeling gratefulā€¦

*****Ladiesā€”Big reminders:
1) If you have bought any digital SVGs that match our CTMH Paper Packs/Collections, please go & log into your CTMH account. If you donā€™t get them downloaded to your own device soon, you wonā€™t be able to get them. Please get these files downloaded by the end of May if possible. I think you actually have until June 15th, but itā€™s going to be crazy at the end, when CTMH is getting ready to close & thereā€™s a good chance that the servers might be getting overloaded there at the end. So PLEASEšŸ™, I want my customers to get everything you ever paid CTMH for, so please get yours downloaded ASAP, but at least try to get it down b4 the end of May. -***FYI, I had TONS of these digital files, because Iā€™m a Cricut girl & I wanted to be able to use the SVGs from our CTMH Collections with my Cricut machines (or any other Electronic cutter that uses SVG files)!! It only took me a couple hours to download everything to my computer (& I had TONS of these files!!).
Once there & signed in, do the following:
-Click on your name -Select ACCOUNT in the drop down menu.
-When your account opens up, select DIGITAL LIBRARY.
-When your Digital Library opens up, any digital product youā€™ve ever gotten from CTMH should be listed under there.
-Located to the right of each digital element, youā€™ll see a blue DOWNLOAD button.
-You need to DOWNLOAD each Digital Element to your computer or phone. FYIā€”I find it much easier to organize these files by saving them to my computer (rather than my iPhone). I made a folder on my computer called CTMH DIGITAL FILES. I downloaded all of my Digital Files to this folder.
- Once youā€™re done downloading all the files, that blue Download button will STILL BE THERE. Thatā€™s ok. But what I did after downloading then all to my computer, is I went to my Download folder in my computer, or you can log into that folder I told you to create, I called mine CTMH DIGITAL FILES. I had 2 windows opened up, & the one with the CTMH DIGITAL FILES folder in it & the other was where I was logged into my CTMH account and in my digital library, where it showed all the digital files/SVGs that Iā€™d ever bought from CTMH. And I looked at them and went down the list. Letā€™s say the first one was CHERISH. I looked at that I saw that in the list on my CTMH account and then I looked where I had downloaded all those files onto my computer and made sure there was a folder named CHERISH also. FYI, IF ITā€™S A COLLECTION, THEN YES, THERE WILL BE A FOLDER WITH THAT COLLECTION NAME AND INSIDE THAT FOLDER WILL BE ALL THE INDIVIDUAL SVGā€˜S THAT BELONG TO THAT COLLECTION. IF ITā€™S JUST A SINGLE TITLE THAT YOU BOUGHT, THEN IT WILL JUST BE A SINGLE FILE, an SVGā€” it normally will not be inside a folder. so go through that list from the CTMH site and double check that you have everything thatā€™s in that CTMH list now onto your computer. If youā€™re missing something try to look through the names and see if thereā€™s something else similar that maybe just is named a little bit different, because that did happen to me. But if you canā€™t find it anywhere, try to go and download it again by clicking on that blue download button.
-Once youā€™ve made sure that you have downloaded any digital files from your CTMH digital library, now itā€™s time to upload them into your software for your electronic cutter. Iā€™m going to explain how to do it for CRICUT DESIGN SPACE, because that is what I use.
-FYI, Once, youā€™re 100% sure that all these files are now on your own computer, you can take your time and either sit down and do these all at once, or just a few of them a day. The biggest tip I can give you here is to keep track of what youā€™ve uploaded from your computer, into Cricut Design Space. I actually made screenshots from my computer that had the whole list of digital files that I had needed to download from CTMH and put it in my computer & printed those out. As I uploaded everything inside each folder, I highlighted it on the screenshot.
-I am going to assume that you all know how to upload a digital file/SVG into Cricut Design Space. If you do not know how to do that, then in the help section of Cricut Design Space thereā€™s a great tutorial about how to upload files. If you still need more help after reading that, then please get a hold of me for more additional help.
-For the easiest & quickest way to get all the files uploaded today into DS (aka Design Space), again, open up two windows. One window will be the main page of Cricut Design Space & the other window will be where you have put that folder with all of your CTMH digital files in it. I like to put it so that these two windows are sitting right next to each other if possible.
-With the main page of Cricut Design Space open, click on UPLOAD, then click on UPLOAD IMAGE. Then rather than going to Browse for each file, because I have those two windows open right next to one another, I just grab the file I want, and I drag it right on top of where it says ā€œdrag and drop fileā€ in DS. And then I usually put some tags, such as CTMH and whatever the thing is, and then hit upload. And then go back and do the next item thatā€™s in your folder. Once your folder has had everything uploaded from it, thatā€™s when I go ahead and highlight it, but that entire folder has to have everything done in order to get highlighted. And then I go onto the next folder.
Sometimes you will just have a single SVG if you bought something like titles that were standalone, such as the ones that were in our annual catalog. So with those, you normally just have the one SVG to upload, so upload it, highlight that off your list and go onto the next, whether itā€™s a folder full of files or just one standalone SVG. Keep going until youā€™re all done.
-Again, you do not have to upload everything into Design Space at the same time, you can do a few folders and files a day, because now all of those things that you own are on YOUR OWN COMPUTER, that is the MOST important thing, that you get those files off of the CTMH server before theyā€™re gone. That is an urgent thing!!!

I hope this helps everyone to get anything you have still sitting in that CTMH digital library that you havenā€™t brought over to your own computer. It is a little repetative work if youā€™ve bought a lot like I have, but the reward is that now youā€™re going to have all those amazing files in your DS software, woohoo ā€”and thereā€™s some beautiful stuff in a lot of these collections, lots of flourishes and whirley gigs and titles and all kinds of beautiful stuff, lots of images like cameras & florals and I mean all kinds of stuffā€”including, if itā€™s a collection, then each of those collections has at least a one and often a two page, full scrapbook layout in there, all ready to go. All you have to do is select it, put it on your mat and hit MAKE IT in DS, and thereā€™s also premade cards in those collections.
-A big hint for you to make it easy to find these images and titles, etc. again is to make sure you put in the tags when you upload them, ā€œCTMHā€. Also, I always go up to the name/ title of each item and after it, letā€™s say itā€™s a flourish, Iā€™ll put a little hyphen ā€“ and then Iā€™ll put CTMH. That way when Iā€™m looking for it I donā€™t have to look through a b-zillion flourishes, I can just ask DS for flourishes plus CTMH and that brings them up easily! Yes, I know itā€™s a little more work when youā€™re uploading them to DS, but let me promise you it is so worth it for future ease!!

***If there are any collections you loved, please go look under my CTMH shopping site B4 the end of the day April 30th & go to SHOP>DIGITAL ART & look thru & grab what you want!! If you want to help me get credit for those, you must submit your order b4 the end of the day on April 30th at midnight MOUNTAIN TIME. You will still have until June 15th to get them downloaded from the CTMH website to your own computer (but please donā€™t wait until the last minutešŸ™!!). And because these are digital files, there obviously is no shipping on them.

OK, I will have a shopping link as of May 1st for my Stampinā€™ Up site, but I will have a better one thatā€™s easier to get to probably right around the 3rd or 4th of May, when I go set up my business site with STAMPINā€™ UP & as soon as I get that official business site link, I will post it over here for you.

I truly hope all all of you here will follow me over there and continue to be my customers. I canā€™t tell you what your patronage has meant to me over the years and I hope it will continue going forward.

I love all of you, thank you for everything and I look forward to seeing you over at STAMPINā€™ UP!!ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

Grandma Glenda having a wonderful babysitting day with my sweet Grandaughter, Noelle!! She is just such a sweetheart ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø!! Itā€™s the first time Mom & Dad have ever went out together without her, since she was born. And Noelle is being an angel!! Laughing a lot at her silly Grandma, who has been reading to her, singing silly songs to her & tickling her. I was blowing rasberries on her hands, tummy, feet, etc., & had her sitting up so her face was close to mine & then suddenly, she looked right at me & blew a rasberry Iright at me!! I was soooooo shocked, I couldnā€™t even believe that at just 4-1/2 months, she could do that in response to what I had been doing!!! Feels early to me!! Smart little sweet girlie!!!

Second photo sheā€™s sleeping on my lapā€”in a food coma after drinking a lot of Mommyā€™s milk that her Mommy left for her. Noelle is VERY serious about her food & you better get it for her quickly when sheā€™s hungry, or sheā€™ll get a little ā€œhangryā€ baby attitude. Itā€™s really the only time she cries or gets mad is when sheā€™s hungry. Her Daddy was the same, ate like a maniac when he was a baby & when he was ready to eat, he wanted his food right now!

During Day 1 of our Convention today, after going thru our amazing new catalog that will launch for customers on September 1st, I was thinking back to things Iā€™ve made this past year with products that I seriously loved & I remembered this card. I loved the slimline design, the card front die, the patterned paper, the sequins, the glitter paper, the shimmer trim & shimmer brush & the ā€œThanksā€ die. I just love everything about this card (if I say so myselfšŸ˜‰!) & I will miss the many products from it that will be retiring. I made several versions of this card & everyone who received any of those, absolutely loved them!! But all the new products that are coming are mind-bogglingly beautiful!! Iā€™m looking forward to an even more amazing year coming upšŸ„°!!!

Iā€™m getting lots of messages, so Iā€™m just going to answer them all with this post.

First, thank you to so many of you who have texted & DMā€™d me. I truly appreciate your concernā¤ļø.

I had a full right hip replacement last week. Sadly, after a couple days in the hospital, I was still unable to get up & down/ in & out of bed by myself. So I was transported by ambulance to a skilled nursing facility/ physical rehab facility & Iā€™m still here. Weā€™re hoping that Iā€™ll be going home this next coming MondayšŸ¤ž!!

This was the very last place I wanted to be, after all the bad things that have happened during COVID in these nursing facilities.

Thank goodness I have had both my COVID vaccinations, because the day AFTER I was transferred here from the hospital, a patient in here tested POSITIVE for COViD19, yikesšŸ˜¬!!!. They did a rapid test on me as soon as they found out & no one has told me that I was positive, so Iā€™m assuming Iā€™m still negativešŸ¤ž!! Thank goodness I had those COVID vaccinationsšŸ™!!

I canā€™t wait to get the heck out of here & get home. Iā€™ve just got to get stronger over the next few daysšŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø. Then I can be at home with Moe & Luna, plus my kids & friends can come & visit. These facilities are all locked down due to COVID, so no visitors are allowed, which makes it even more miserablešŸ˜¢.

So hereā€™s hoping that I can get strong enough to get up & down, in & out of bed by myself by this Monday!!! Iā€™m not good at being helpless, to put it mildly!

As a famous namesake of mine, the very wise Good Witch of the North from the Wizard of Oz said, ā€œThereā€™s no place like home, thereā€™s no place like home, thereā€™s no place like home...ā€.

During these unprecedented times, & the circumstances I currently find myself in, I can tell you that those words have never been truer than they are right nowā¤ļø!!!

Luna supervised me getting my 2nd COViD19 vaccination today at Disneyland!! Once I found out which entrance to go to, it was extremely well organized & it went really fast. Now weā€™re waiting our mandatory 15 minutes after the shot, to monitor that you donā€™t have a negative reaction.

I can already tell that my arm is going to hurt again, but itā€™s still worth it to me to get the vaccine & be safe going forward.

All-in-all, it was a very well organized ordeal!!! And Luna made a lot of very nervous people smileā¤ļø.

P.S. For those of you in O.C., hereā€™s how you get there:
Go to Katella Ave, then turn into the parking lot at the light at Clementine. HTH.

We had a quiet family dinner tonight to celebrate our oldest son, Matthewā€™s, 40th Birthday.

I made this card for him, starting with the front of the card, which is made from all Close to My Heart (aka CTMH) products. The papers are a combination of Silver Foil papers Z3366 &
Black Glitter Paper Z3236. Then I used a combination of CTMH Dies, starting with the Shaker element, which consists of the Happy Birthday Shaker Window Thin Cuts Z3625, topped off with the stitched circle element from the Circle Shaker Window Thin Cuts Z4309. The entire shaker element was filled with Silver Loose Sequins Z4304, some Silver Star Confetti Z2900, along some small heart confetti which was cut from CTMH Black Glitter paper Z3236, using the Heart Shaker Window Thin Cuts die Z3870. I popped the whole shaker element up on the card front with Thin Foam Tape Z2060 & the entire card front was popped up on 3-D Foam Tape Z1151, which is the thicker version of our foam tape.
That gorgeous card front was created using CTMH Silver Foil paper Z3236 & the gorgeous Stitched Lattice Background This Cuts die Z3681ā€“I love this die sooooo muchā¤ļø!!

I created the verse for the inside of the card using the Text Tool in Cricut Design Space & then foiled it with my Cricut Foil Transfer Kit (I used the Medium tip). Then I applied a thin line of Silver Stickles Z3562 onto my All Purpose nonstick craft mat Z2045 & drug each side of the White Daisy cardstock 1385 thru it. I popped the whole piece up using Thin Foam Tape Z2060.

Then on the very back of the card, I used 2 different colors of Cricut Glitter pens to write for me, then grabbed a scalloped rectangle from the Cricut images & had my Cricut cut it out. Glued it to the back of the card using my Tombow Dual-tip Multi-bond Glue Pen Z3441.

Hi everybody! How would you like to come and hang out with other crafters and learn some new techniques, all for free?

I am having a free zoom today during one of the Close to My Heart (aka CTMH) teaching Workshops & all of you are invited!! Today is the Jingle Joy Cardmaking Workshop and in addition to other techniques, weā€™re also going to be doing some mixed media techniques, including some use of Distress Oxide inks and one of our all-time favorites, Stickles, woohoo!! It is absolutely free to come and hang out with us, there is NEVER any purchase required! Itā€™s just a good way for us to get together & hopefully learn something that will help ā€œupā€ our crafting game!! Anything that is taught in the Close To My Heart Workshops can absolutely been used with any other papers!! Close to My Heart is known as the ā€œSHOW ME HOWā€ company, because they do so much wonderful teaching!!! So while weā€™re all apparently getting locked down again, letā€™s make some good use of our time and learn some stuff and get some new ideas for things that you can use with your other crafting products as well!

My Zoom always opens a half hour earlier than the class starts, just so we can hang out and catch up with each other, so my Zoom starts at 12:30pm PT/1:30pm MT/2:30pm CT, 3:30pm ET & 11:30am for my Alaska Gals!! You can pop in whenever itā€™s possible for you, so donā€™t worry if youā€™re going to join late!!

FYI-I do give out prizes at the beginning & the end of my Zoom & you do have to be present to win one of those!!

The Zoom info is:
Glenda Kanoudi (Glendaā€™s Creative Place) is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
