For my card today, I used Yumi with Fan!  I colored Fumi with copics.  I used white gelly roll pen for the little flowers on her kimono.  Flowers are handmade.

Well, tomorrow I go back to work after three months of maternity leave.  Am I ready to go back?  Nope!  Well, I am but at the same time, not yet.  LOL  I have so much I want to do while I was off but did not get to.  I need more time!  LOL 

Here are the things I wanted to work on....and what I've accomplished during my three months off:

1.  List some of my unused crafty stuff on ebay.  I listed some and sold some.  I still have a lot to list.  LOL  It's so time consuming to list them!

2.  Work on more and new items for my Etsy store.  I made quite a few stuff but did not get to list all of them.  

3.  Organize my craft area.  I organize part of it.  6x6 papers are all organized neatly in a new basket; Copic markers are all neatly in the shelf hubby made for me; all my flowers are neatly stored in a 12 -drawer shelf; most dies are neatly stored in a basket;  most beads are in containers and are separated by silver, bronze, glass beads, beads, etc; ribbons are done; all buttons are in one place and not multiple containers.  I still need to go through all my new and used stamps and lots of everything else. I may post stamps for sale on my blog one day, just need time.  LOL

4.  Straighten my hair.  Got it done!  

5.  Visit doctor.  Done!

6.  Visit dentist.  Done!

7.  Lose weight.  I am still working on that.  lol  I kept 13 lbs from having my baby.  :(

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday!  It's hot out there so stay in and keep cool!
