iPICKS #127

Catching up from being gone. More to come ....

Welcome to iPICKS where I post a selection of my favorite Stampin' Up! cards and projects by other talented stamping artists. There's no formal rules or guidelines ... just inspiring projects that catch my eye, clever ideas, and exceptional designs. These are projects that inspire me and I hope they inspire you too! Please click on each link to go directly to the artist's blog for more information about the artist and their project.

THANK YOU, FRIENDS

Thank you most sincerely for all your beautiful words of comfort and support after losing my Mom. Some of you sent gorgeous cards that truly served as a special reminder of your friendship. It's times like this when you realize how genuinely nice and caring people truly are. I deeply appreciate your kind expressions of sympathy in my time of sorrow. Losing my Mom has been quite traumatic for me but am taking it one day at a time trying to get used to my new normal. I am wrapping up the end of the year at work with inventory in my library. After that, I plan to get back in to my old stamping ways (after June 2)!

I could easily start posting iPICKS again, but am having major issues with Clipmarks. I recently upgraded Firefox only to find out that Clipmarks isn't compatible with it yet. I have loaded Clipmarks in to Internet Explorer, but can't get it to work. After clipping, the html code that I copy and paste in to my blog does not appear. I've contacted Clipmarks customer support but haven't heard back from them yet. If anyone knows a solution for me, I'd love to hear it. I'd even consider going back to the old version of Firefox but don't know how.

My beautiful Mom, Carol Ann Olson, lost her battle with brain cancer and passed away on April 12, 2011. I have been away from home since the 8th and am now spending some quiet time at home. Thank you for your kind words and prayers throughout my Mother's illness, and for our family. See my mom's obituary here.
