Explanation and Happy Easter!

Well I almost had a big April Fool's Day joke played on me but thanks to my email provider yesterday I got a glitch worked out with my emails that I was sending out to people. Apparently the signature on my email was interfering with my messages after over nine years usage preventing them reaching their destinations. You see I had my signature hyperlinked so it would go directly to my blog and that was the culprit messing things up.

Well, finally she changed it to where it is no longer hyperlinked and so now it seems any emails I am sending out are being received again. So if you did not hear from me lately this may be why. I know I sent out a lot of emails in the last week and had no clue they were not being delivered until I visited with a friend and wondered why she had not responded back. Well that was why. 

At any rate it is April already and I hope we get some rains so we can get the May flowers. We are so dry and in our state of South Dakota there is danger of fires. So we are trying to be extra careful with burning issues. We were very cold the last couple days and nights but I guess for the Easter weekend we will be getting back to the 70's again. 

No card making for me but I will try to bring a blast from the past for you to view. This is one I made when on a design team for the now no longer in business Sparkle N Sprinkle. I think I used a rainbow pad to ink up the background. This was in the days when I did not have a Misti so I had to make sure it inked up well before I stamped it to my card stock. I don't think I could handle that anymore without the use of a Misti. I just repeated the sentiment to make the pattern paper. I like the pastel colors.




In fact I have been cleaning. Now I need to do a bit of baking as two of our families will be joining us for Easter Sunday. I hope all of you have a most blessed Easter too. It is such a comfort to know that Jesus died for us and took all our sins upon himself so that we will not perish but have eternal life. Just believe! Jesus lives!

God bless, Verna

I recognized the stamp right away, Verna, and really like the sweet background. Those were the things we did “back in the day” right? Glad you figured out the problem with computer. I’ve received all your emails I think. Happy Easter, Verna! Hugs, de

Your card shows how much fun it is to live now where there is so much good stuff (Misti). Your card is terrific but they are better now when you do want more intensity. But the good comes with it own set of issues, hence linked signatures no longer working.

Oh no, that sounds like a very silly problem with your email but I am glad you got it worked out. I like this older card. The background is fun with the rain bow pad. You know, I think before stamp positioners, I just had to redo things like this a couple times till I was lucky and it worked out. I seldom have to redo things now. I guess it is good for saving paper. Happy Easter to you and yours.

Lovely floral image, and beautifully colored. We used to love to visit Sparkle & Sprinkle when they had the store front, and I love their stamps. They had gone to an online store, but I didn't know they had gone out of business. Good thing we have some of their images! Hope you had a nice visit with your family members, and got rested up so that you could enjoy it. Yes, it is a blessing God granted us to have His Son take on our sins, that we could have eternal life. Can't imagine living in today's world with no hope of that everlasting peace! TFS & Hugs
