Taking a needed break. . . . . . .

35 Comments

Hello everyone,

I’m going to take a break from blogging until I return from my vacation.  My next post will be April 20th.  In the mean time, please check out and try some of the past tutorials here on my blog.  There is a tutorial tab on the top of this page with quick links to all of them.  There are over thirty, so grab a cup of your favorite brew and stay a while.  Any questions/comments leave them in the comments section under the tutorial you are viewing and I will answer if I can before the 20th.  If I can’t, I’ll be sure to answer them upon my return. 

Thanks again to all of you that visit my blog.  Your wonderful comments have inspired and driven me to keep posting tutorials and in the process I have learned a great deal myself.

Hugs,

Michelle

    Michelle,
    Enjoy your well deserved vacation. I need the time to catch up on your tutorials. Some of the needed supplies are coming via snail mail. You rest up while I catch up.

    Have a great vacation! I wanted to thank you for your blog. I found it recently and am thoroughly in awe of your talent. Because of you, I’ve brought my heat gun and embossing powder out from the back of the craft drawer, and I’m trying brayering for the first time. By the way, you make it look a LOT easier than I’m finding it! LOL! But that is another question for another day. Happy travels!

    Hi Michelle,

    Have a restful and relaxing vacation. I’ll be catching up on your tutorials and trying to master the intimidating “Brayer” (practice…practice…practice). Thanks to your inspiration my cards have more punch and I find myself using more vibrant colors. I’ve cased a number of your cards with great success thanks to your step by step detailed tutorials. My next step is working at improvising on stamps and supplies to work at developing a Karen style (lol) You have given me wings and I am feeling much more confident in my passion for stamping!!

    Thanks again Michelle

    sniff…okay…its not like I have a choice…but I’ll miss you. 🙂 Even more so when I go and try to imitate your work myself. First I frown then laugh, but fortunately, its not an expensive hobby. I just keep trying…and chuckling, wondering how does she make it look so easy? Enjoy your vacation.

    Michelle- I hope your vacation gives you time to refresh and renew! I am in awe of your creations, and the fact that you are able to post such amazing tutorials every day! This gives us a chance to peruse and practise your techniques. Or actually finish a card using some of them! So enjoy your time off, and when you come back, post at a frequency that works for you. We’ll all be here with baited breath!
    Thank you for all the inspiration!

    Whew…I can try to catch up on working the techniques from your tutorials. I have no idea how you are always able to come up with fresh ideas and take the time to share the step by step with us. You and your beautiful creations will be greatly missed while you are away 😉 Enjoy your time away to relax and unwind. Have a fabulous vacation!

    Hi Michelle, Have a fabulous vacation! I just read all the comments here and laughed out loud at Lydia’s. Too funny! But you can see how much you’ll be missed. You deserve a break from all the hard work you put in to give us these great tutorials. I’m going to try to go back and study each tutorial again for a refresher course. Thanks so much for all you do. Relax and enjoy!

    Michelle, have a great vacation…relax and don’t do anything you don’t want to do…that’s what vacation is all about. Thank you for all of your awesome tutorials, I hope to get to try one soon. You have been a true inspiration to me and I want to learn more about color graduation as well as how to better use my brayer. Thanks again!!

    You have fun! enjoy yourself. We will all miss you. You have been an inspiration to many of us, Especially me, a newbie at 50 :). Though I have not tried your tutorials yet, it was only because I owned only 3 ink pad’s :), but some just came in so I will be trying one out. Thank you so much for sharing with us and in such great detail.

    Once again with an edit – I struggled with one word on my post and as soon as I posted I realized that I didn’t mean ‘earn a vacation’ I meant to say ‘deserved’. Does that sound better?
