Hi friends, Welcome! You should have come from Jessie's blog. Thanks so much for stopping by and Hopping along for the TCP release. :) There is a super cute sketch for TCP Tuesday today, but I didn't use it...
...You see, I wanted to participate in this Release for The Cat's Pajamas, because it is sort of like my swan song. This will be be my final blog post. I have been considering this decision for a long time. Taking the break clarified that it's time I move on. Other, wonderful opportunities keep cropping up in my life, and between that, a family with 3 busy kids, my fitness goals, and working a lot more, I have finally come to terms with the fact that it is time to say goodbye to blogging. I will always be an artist, but my season to blog about has reached it's end. At least for the time being. This will be the final (and 803rd!) post at paper & ICE.
The hardest reason to say goodbye is by far this community. I am truly so humbled and and amazed by all of the wonderful and incredible women I have met these last 5 years. THANK YOU, all for your kindness, your warmth, your creativity, artistry, and talent. I have been encouraged and inspired not by blogging about my own projects, but by the other people I have met from blogging and their projects. I will still "see" you around the web!
I am also VERY sad to leave The Cat Pack. What a TALENTED, FUN, and wonderfully drama-free group this has been to be a part of. Alma, thank you for your beautiful, sometimes silly, and wonderfully inspiring products, as well as your incredible support and kindness to your artists. There is a reason your artists stick around for YEARS at a time. ;) You are the best in the business, and I am so glad I got to know you.
Thank you all for sharing in this journey with me. From the highest highs, to the lower points, the blog has been not only a journal of my creative life, but a little piece of my heart as well. I am so grateful that you came along for the ride.
So, this is my last card to be blogged. It is kind of funny that it is a space themed card with stars, because my very first card as a Cat Packer was also an outer space theme. The first card I ever blogged had a star on it as well.
Next, and final stop on the Hop is The Cat's Pajamas blog!
My plan is to leave my blog active for a little while, then I will likely be deleting it to prevent hackers from invading it and stealing my images. So, if there's anything from here you'd like to save, please Pin soon. ;) I also intend to keep my Facebook Fan Page open, as it's easy enough for me to upload projects to that with my phone. So, come check it out if you'd like to see what I've been up to. At this time, I will continue running Craft Storage Ideas, (alongside my sister) as well.
Biggest Hugs, and "meowy" Best Wishes to All!

I used the new set from this Release "Space Cadet" and the Cascading Card Cutable.
