I wanted to share my blog "creation story." I was great at creating and stashing cards away, but my friends made fun of my hoarding. I never sent the cards! I was afraid that I could never recreate the hard-earned ideas. I began photographing cards and eventually created this blog, which allows all of us to have a record of what we have created. The title of the blog applies to me and probably no one else who posts on here...but as much as I've tried to come up with a new title, this one stuck. I'm so grateful to all of you for contributing and following this blog!!

This is hard for me to explain. I have really struggled trying to figure out how to tie them to look good. One key, the knot part needs to be a square knot. Also, when I just have a bow I am making out of ribbon (not tied to something), I tie it upside down. For some reason, I can get it to look better that way. Also, for little bows, I have found that the skinnier the ribbon, the easier it is to get a small bow to look right.
