52
weeks of of laundry, of distress, of celebrating, of wondering, of
indecision, of wanting to do more, of not knowing what to do, of
resting, of promoting, of carpool, of homework, of planning, of
preparing, of praying, of making decisions, of choosing, or cheering on
and cheering up, of weeping and mourning, of praising and worship...
That is why I created 52 Card Pickup.
As
women, daughters, sisters, neighbors, friends, moms, at one point or
another, we seem to have so much going on that we forget to stop, even a
second..unless we drop and by that point, things might be unwinding,
unraveling and unruly..
That is why I created 52 Card Pickup.
When I need to quick "pick-me-up" quote or verse to remind myself, or to remind another..
That is why I created 52 Card Pickup.
When I want to take a little time to create something but I don't have alot of time..
That is why I created 52 Card Pickup.
52
hand-created cards of encouragement to reflect on, to look at, to
share, to use as support and as reminders for ourselves and for others..
That is why I created 52 Card Pickup.
Create something based on what is on your mind, in your heart and in your prayers.
Add quotes or verses that apply to your thoughts and prayers.
Reflect and remember WHY you are creating & WHAT you are creating.
Decide to make "that choice" "a change" or say a prayer for what your card represents.
Share it with others...and then keep on going.
We cannot forget about ourselves and we cannot forget to take a little time to do what we love.

Stephanie, I have had a pack of cards lying around for about a year now - you must have read my mind. Look forward to doing some wee art.

Oh Stephanie, I'm so excited! I just purchased your workshop. I was so bummed I couldn't catch you at Scrapbook Island, and I was so tickled to see you have this available! You're awesome, thanks so much!!!

So if I register after you post does that mean I don't have acces to the older cards?

Stephanie - love your work and can't wait to start! This is the year that I am going to need inspiration & motivation for sure and this is going to do it.
I am assuming that you will send me a link & password for the class shortly. Very computer literate but I'm also dealing with a PC that recently crashed so things are a little "screwed" up right now!

Oh Stephanie, I am so excited about this class! I plan to incorporate bible verses on most of them. This will be a gift for my 13 year old grandson. And he will absolutely LOVE it! :) Thanks for sharing your awesome talent. You are such an inspiration!

So wish I could actually take this class in person. Looks really fun, but I have learned that I fall way behind in online classes. Of course, that would mean that we would need a LSS.
Posted by: Colleen F | January 31, 2013 at 12:07 PM
I just found you on Pinterest and will sign up for the online class as soon as I get back to my own computer. Are you going to give an online class on the box? I would love to take one in person but live in North Carolina. Take care & keep up the good work.

Just signed up. I am in "wedding mode" as my daughter's wedding is creeping up on me so I am having trouble finding "me" inky time. I have had my deck of cards for some time now. I have to find the time! I miss my ink. I am looking forward to your videos!
