Yes, I Colored Them with Color Pencils !

I love those stamps... I stamped more and then colored them. I enjoyed that. I haven't use watercolor or copic or marker... I used color pencils from Crayola, RoseArt and Cra-Z-Art. I want more, lol. I am not going to stop doing this. I will try different color combo to see which is best and which is so-so. After colored them, I put them in baseball card pocket page. Sorry if I repeated this, but I couldn't help it. I still have few more left to color... They look pretty, are they?

My Handmade Rosary

I made this rosary. This is my 7th rosary. It is for sale. All beads are glass.

If you are looking for specific color or shape and want me to make it for you. Contact me. Most colors are easily found except red ones which is hard. Purple is also hard to find because most of them are not as bright as it should be. It is almost like dark like earth tone. I wanted purple but so hard to find what I want! Yes. It is frustrated. I can post other photos of rosary I had in past. So stay tuned!

Adding Washi to the Cards

I still want to make more stuffs with papers and washi. I enjoyed it more than filling them out. LOL.

I added washi to some of my homemade the PL cards for my mini album.

I also added couple of washi to my homemade library card.

Come back if you like to see and read my blog. I post new one when I can. Thanks.

My Own DIY Project Life Cards

After making geo tags of my own, I want to make my own project life cards.

I cut six 3x4 and three 4x6 out of one 12x12 sheet. (You can also cut twelve 3x4 or six 4x6 out of 12x12 sheet.) Then I used some stamps and added some stuffs like a banner, arrow and geo tags. I enjoyed that. I want to make some more in the future. Hope you like my cards. Smile.

DIY Map Pointer

I somehow saw one paper punch that looks like geo tag/map pointer to me so I thought why not to make my own. Lucky, I have Fiskars Petal by Petal Squeeze Punch (Large) and circle punches. I tried and it works!

The Greeting Farm stamps

I enjoyed coloring those stamped images. If you are curious... yep, those stamps are from The Greeting Farm.

 I don't know why but I like how they looked.

However I heard there is change at TGF. Prices and other thing. Honestly, I can understand about price but will they change the look? I don't know.

Here's their information:

---Price---effect Jan 1, 2014---

* 3x4 Singles: $9
* Special Edition 3x4 Singles: $12
* 4x6 Sets (incl - Big Anyas, OA, Sitting Series): $16
* Miss Anya Series (incl - All Miss Anya related sets): $18
* 6x9 Sets: $25
* 8.5x11 Kits: $30 - $48

--- Other---

I've been getting many inquiries about the Miss Anya sets... and if we are doing any more new ones. We are no longer doing any more 'new' Miss Anya sets..... BUUUUT before everyone starts panicking lol, the reason is because we've decided to do a '2nd generation' Miss Anya collection where her looks and style is more in line with the Big Anyas. We're still going to try to squeeze in 3 in a set as per the originals.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know by emailing us at thegreetingfarm@gmail.com

And as always Thank You all so much for your support and understanding.

Marie & TGF

Being Deaf is Tough- Battle to the Hell

Being deaf is tough. I struggled with it everyday and I am so tired of it. No matter how hard I tried, none of my hard work being recognized out there in the world.

I still fought.

Over 20 years has passed, I can see my list of hope, goal, etc. Not one of them have came true. What does it mean? Yes, I felt betrayed by God. My list is worthless.

Many people have different opinion on God... There is God... There is no God... There is heaven... There is no heaven... on and on and on....

One said God is con man.... how interesting.... other said God is trickster... Mmmmm... So many varieties by different cultures and beliefs...

Who is God to me? I don't know. Why did he make me a deaf person? I don't know. I will never know if that is his plan or a mean trick.

I kept telling myself. Why am I here for if there is no plan for me to live for? I do not accept being alive here for none. It isn't very nice to have my promise being broken. I even noticed why some people who are "bad" got the chances, not me? It isn't right either nor fair.

Basically, this is hell battle to fight against. None of my prayers over the years work at all. That leaves me the possible question... Is there no God? If there is God then he should have answered.

I feel shamed to have that kind of God if he ever does existed.
