The past few days I've been working on some of my works-in-progress trying to finish up one or two of them. I usually have two or three different projects going at the same time. It seems to be the best way for me to work.But right now the number is four and the negative side to that is finding some work space on the ol' craft tables. Due to my tendency towards piles, my available work area is routinely minimal...but zero was becoming a problem.
Clean up became the priority and I was doing pretty well. Until the inevitable..."hmmm, what's in this box?" I'd gotten the box out over a month ago, remembering some great vintage gift enclosure cards I thought I had. My grandmother worked for Hallmark decades ago and gave lots of cards to my mother who continued to use them for years.
Well, you already know what happened. "No time like the present! I'll just see if I can find those cards real quick."Now, when it comes to greeting cards, I'm a major pack rat, but the box didn't seem to be too full. Didn't matter. Over two hours later I not only found what I was looking for but had looked at everything else too.
Thought I'd show you a couple of my finds. I think they're as sweet as can be!
Clean up? It will just have to wait for another day:)

I know how you feel! We finally just got back home and I"m ready to scrap! We should go to an antique mall soon. Maybe we can find some goodies :)

Since I took the entire top of my craft table to Karla's, I'm managed to keep an approx 8" x 12" work space clear. Its amazing how fast it all piles up. When I start to "clean up"- I end doing the same thing you did- looking at all my goodies. Your greeting cards are just darling. I wonder if 50 years the cards that are for sale now will have the charm as the cards we love from the 30's & 40's.
