Honor

Good Friday (11.11.16) morning.  Today is a day for honoring those in our lives.  It’s Veteran’s Day, so let’s honor them.  I also honor my step-mother today, as her life came to its end yesterday morning. (11-10-16).

We honor veterans because they fought to protect our freedoms.  Our country does NOT do enough to honor them today.

I honor my stepmother as she tried her best to be a good mother.  We had lots of good times, and we had our bad ones.

I had just sent out letters, and this last one will not reach her.  But I know my sister said that mom adored the “every other week” personally designed letters and matching envelopes that I sent.  Now that she is gone, I am so glad I did them.

I saw her this last summer at the end of June.  I just had a feeling that this would be her last year.  She only went into the nursing home in the beginning of this year after living with her daughter, my half-sister, for about six or seven years.  Going into the nursing home was okay with her.  She was surrounded by many others her age, and she liked her roommate.

Next week, my blog will up in the air, due to circumstances, but it will pick up again shortly.  I will still only be doing a two-day post each week:  Mondays and Fridays.

I have made quick frames today, as they make scrapping so much easier.  All but one have an example that would make cute cards.  Enjoy!

Onto my own FREE offerings today.  Just right click and save to your own computer.  Put a copy of my card in the folders you build, and you’ll always know where you got the graphics.  And, of course, it’s there for you to SHARE! SHARE! SHARE!

Just right click and save to your computer.  All graphics are made by me!

Today’s graphics are: (lead graphic at top) Veteran’s Day, the blank for this card, a card on being fearful and its blank, my sarcastic crab creature card and its blank, a You Are Cherished card and its blank, and lastly, one blank very cute quick frame for you to fill in.  So, here you go:

Okay!  That’s it for today’s graphics.  Use them with some pre-made cards and envelopes, and your cards will just take a minute to get together.

Grannies Print Shop: Welcome!

Hello, and Welcome to Grannies Print Shop!

Since I've retired, I now have time to devote to my graphics.  Yeah!

I wanted to be able to use my graphics in a way that benefited my family members.

My daughter was out gathering her mail one day, when her six-year old daughter, E, said, "Mommy.  Why don't I get any mail?"

A very good question, I think!  How about you?

My daughter called and asked if I would send letters to my granddaughter, much as I had done many years ago with her older daughter, TS.

"Well, of course," I happily said.  For now, I had a way to use all the graphics I've been making over the last eleven years.

And so, I began.  I added a total of three people that get personalized, decorated letters.  Two of them are my two granddaughters, E who is 6, and TS who is almost 16.  My mother is in a nursing home in MO, so she was added to the list as well.

The letters are physical projects, and go out every other Monday.  That's about two a month.

But I'm sure you also have loved ones that would love to receive either "real mail" or texts with their pictures decorating them.

Currently, I send a scrapped picture to each granddaughter every day.  It is sent by text mail with a short message that says, "Hi E (or TS).  I hope you're having a terrific day.  Grannie loves you very much."

If you have a grandchild you'd love to thrill; this just might be for YOU grandparents.

Maybe just a picture every other week.

Basically, this is what Grannies Print Shop is about.

Every Monday, I will put up a template or item for you to pick up.  Save it to your computer, and use it yourself.  Whether you print pictures out or use a graphics editing program to insert pictures and text, it is yours to share your own message to YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

I know there are a lot of programs out in the internet world that will let you edit and add to your pictures.

I am starting off today with this free scrapping template.  Put a picture of someone in it.  Add words if you wish.  Take a picture of it with your phone, and then text it on its way. (You may NOT sell or copy as your own, but they are free to share with your loved ones.)

If you have questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments.

Enjoy my first share!!!  (It's a Texting Template.)

Download this one now!!!
