handmade greeting card

Birthday, Box Cards, flowers

Good Evening! Lots going on around our place! We needed to get a new POS system which is a point of sale cash/computer program. Groan! Lots of data entry which I am not a fan of.

I finally realized my blog had gotten disconnected from facebook so hopefully that is fixed.

I cracked a tooth! Most annoying ðŸ˜Đ so it’s either a $2500 root canal and cap or pull it. I’m leaning towards pulling it. This is the 5th tooth I’ve cracked! I need to stop clenching my jaw. So was at the dentist on Monday, today, and need to make an appointment for whatever it is I choose. I don’t have time for this 😜ðŸĪŠðŸ˜

But I LOVE making box cards so fun and easy. My class this year includes a box card. Information for my class is on our 2019 schedule. Here is the link to our schedule: 2019 Schedule
