I Finally Have A Hobby

Well, this sounds pretty pathetic because this sort of thing I think is supposed to come naturally, but I have chosen a hobby. Mack has been telling me that I need one for a long time. It mostly comes up when he wants to buy a bunch of things for golf or the latest thing he is into. It's usually after him convincing me that I can buy myself something if he gets something that he urges me to get a hobby.

I have been trying to figure out what I could do or get into that wouldn't break the bank. I was thinking long and hard and one day a couple weeks ago it hit me. I want to make my own cards. You know like greeting cards or birthday cards or get well cards. I thought about it some more and realized that I would be good at it because I'm a perfectionist and I like that kind of cutsy stuff. I don't know, it's hard to explain why I think I'd enjoy it, but I've already started to have fun just looking online at pictures of homemade cards.

The first card I made was for my nephew Davis's birthday. I had all these grand ideas and cute paper, but after realizing I didn't have any cool tools to make it, it ended up being pretty plain. I forgot to take a picture of it before I sent it, but you're not missing out on anything there. I wanted to redeem myself and make a nice one for my Mom's birthday.

I saw this cute card online...

And this is my version of it with paper I had.

I just bought a paper cutter so I am excited to start making some more cards. Now all I need is cute paper and another birthday or holiday.
