I'm BACK :)

 Well, it's been a very long time since I have posted on this blog!  I have been busy building my YouTube channel as well as my Patreon community. I created my very own website this past weekend and decided to join in my blog.   I have created a subscription on the website so that I will be able to send a monthly newsletter which I think can be fun for little updates on what I’m doing.   But I also thought it could be wonderful to do other news throughout the month that I would not want to put in a monthly newsletter. Therefore, it’s my plan to use the blog for that purpose.   I hope to share with you some cards or other makes that I do.   Here are the recycled Christmas cards that I have made in my Youtube video today.   You can click here if you want to go and see the video.     Take care everyone and see you soon.

Birthday card

I'm trying to post more on my blog this year but it's proving to be difficult.  I don't know about you but I feel that I'm always running after my tail!  With Covid19 on the loose it's been quite hectic at work.  Trying to calm people down and at the same time being worried myself.  I'm lucky the plant that I work in is in the food industry.  So our standard for cleanliness as always been high.  Now they have been put even higher!  But that makes us safe. This being said with all that was going on the employees are still terrified and we decided to shut the plant down for 2 wks.  Some of our operations are continuing but not our main plant.  This of course will be causing some loss income and some of our employees will be layoff for the 2 wks so will have to go on unemployment.  My team and others that can work from home will be doing so.  For me what it has meant is looking at the grants that are out there and talking to the banks.  Which means that my
