Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Craft-ernoon

A lot of people ask me what I do all day at work. I guess the term "Operations Consulting" is kind of vague. Here's a little photo I snapped yesterday of only a fraction of what I do:

Whenever we send anything out to clients, be it deliverables, gifts or proposals, we always send a handmade card. I get to make the cards. I love playing with different cardstocks, ribbon textures and colors and fun little gold additions. We just got these amazing bronze cards and matching envelopes. I couldn't resist having a little fun at the end of the day yesterday. Some little gems I made yesterday:New gold ribbons! Had to test them out!Wouldn't you love to open this?
The ribbon gets folded around the card and you have to "break the seal" to open the card.
Very fancy!Our seal gets pressed onto every thing we send out.
This one looks really good on the bronze card.

So I've only scratched the surface of what I do all day. But being able to have a "Craft-ernoon" every once in a while is a pretty awesome perk to a job, for me at least.
