This is a layout I made using Cocoa Daisy's new kit

Lot's of American Crafts Dear Lizzy. so fun and spring/summery. It makes me happy, knowing it's coming. March is always a bit hard. It lasts so long and I just can't wait for green grass and lilacs. But the light is different, it is taking on that golden rose color that tells me spring is coming, somewhere down this long Montana winter road.
I am only showing you this one for now. It will help me to keep posting to show you what else I have been up to. The stamps are already sold out they are so cool and getting me back into card making. I am happy to be creating. It truly is such a gift. Aren't we lucky, to have this wonderful desire to make things? It keeps me going, keeps me happy when sometimes I just want to complain. Just make something. It always helps.
It has been a looong time since my last blog post. wow. I was having a little internet over load I think. Needed a break. I'll be honest, I have also been a bit pissed off. I will not go into too many details here, not because I don't want to share but I am bored with my rantings, they have been so virulent and so many the past few weeks. My poor family!
I am 45 years old. A christian, wife, mother of 2 teenage boys, stepmother to 2 daughters and one son and grandmother to 4 grand daughters and one grand son, liberal, feminist, artist, business owner, sister, daughter, friend. I am getting really sick of a group of men telling me who I am or who I should be or what I should be thinking, doing, feeling, etc. I am tired of a small group of men telling me or my daughters, sisters, grand daughters, friends who is a slut, a radical feminist, a christian, a good wife, a good mother, lazy, too vocal, too political, too sexy, too anything. SHUT UP. Stop trying to tell us what to do. We are perfectly capable of figuring out what is best for us, our children, and our families. If we are married, we will discuss it with our husbands. If not, we will decide for ourselves.
Listen up ladies, if we are following our hearts, doing our best to not harm others, and trying to make this world a little better we are okay. No matter what our politics, religion, sexual orientation, birth control choice, work choices, family choices, married, divorced, single. We don't need them to define us. We are all women. And worthy.
