Is It O.K. to Send Yourself a Card? *2S4Y Kazan #20*



I made a goal for myself at the beginning of the year to make and send out a card a day this year...cards for events like birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, showers, etc., but also to randomly send out cards to let others know they were being thought of. I think receiving a card in the mail is a really great pick me up. Sooooooooo....I think I need to send myself a card. I have been in a horrible funk the last couple of days and I normally just don't get in funks. I feel like I need to crawl out of my own skin. I'm ornery as heck and I know I'm not pleasant to be around. I wish I could blame it on PMS, but it would have to be PPMS. It didn't help that my children locked me in the garage last night when I was getting the dog some food. They thought it was funny and I would laugh. It wasn't and I didn't. (well, at least not in my present mood) I made this card using Kazan's sketch #20 at 2 Sketches 4 You. It was an amazing sketch and I know I didn't do it justice, but it was nice to make and I think I'm going to mail it today... to me...It will be nice to know that someone is thinking of me...even if it is just me!

  6. You are awesome! I have loved everything you've done. Sorry about the bad mood. Don't you wish someone would lock you in your project room instead of the garage. Maybe that would have been funny. I love your work and hope you are feeling yourself again soon.

    Sorry about the funk and the kids locking you in the garage. I don't think I would have been too keen on that either. Looks like your funk is over though and this card proves it!
