Last night I went to a stamp camp where we made a jar of cards. The jars are from Ikea and the paper and stickers are Stampin' Up of course. The jar holds 24 3x3 cards. I only managed to make 19 of them last night. They are pretty simple, which works well for me because I don't do complicated well. I should do ones like these more often, because it is much easier when your colours are already all chosen for you. We had access to 2 word stamp sets and a handful of punches, of which I used the flower one on a few cards. We had a few paper packages to choose from, looking at them last night I really wish I had chosen the Christmas one...would have made a fantastic teacher gift, or even better, a Christmas blogger swap gift. 
On Monday I received postcards from CPA Mom, two for Taylor and one for me, a second arrived for me yesterday. Taylor collects postcards so I really appreciate her sending them my way. I also received a Jodi Picoult novel from M, My Sister's Keeper. M was very smart to send a package of kleenex along, as I have done nothing but cry since I started this book and I'm only on page 71! I'm a little worried about what the rest has in store for me. 
And because they are 2 of the 5 people I love most in the world here is a photo of Saoirse and Sophie. I love the look on Saoirse's face. And. yeah, I still have the flowery yellow loveseat. I did replace the couch though. But that loveseat is the most comfortable piece of furniture I have ever owned. And if they actually made decent slipcovers I would buy one.

The cards are very cute! You have any postcards from Kentucky yet? I'd be happy to send you one if you want!
What a brilliant idea for little presents. You need a huge packet of kleenex for JP books have you read "Perfect Match"? Ahh that is a beautiful photo of Saoirse and Sophie.
The cards all look lovely - well done chica. My Sisters Keeper - I blubbed like a baby at the end, so be prepared!
I love the photo of your two little munchkins, they look so happy.
Emily- I don't. Feel free to send away!
Chris- I haven't read that book yet, but I will be sure to get it next.
Tilly- do you think I might need two packs of kleenex?
I cried, too, and I don't seem to cry as much as
other women!
Jodi Picoult writes about such hard subjects, but she has an amazing writing style.
Man, there is no doubt in the world those two are sisters! They look so much alike! Crazy!
Those cards are gorgeous Emma! You made 19 of them in one night???? How is that even humanly possible?
I'll send you a Dallas postcard when I finally getting around to doing that scrapbooking I promised you... Sigh.
Love the cards in the jar, what a fab gift. I can't wait for Ikea to come to Ireland!
Will I send you another box of kleenex?
I love the jars! You continue to amaze me with the creativeness!! Great pic of the littlest girls too!!
I absolutely love the cards!
Dude, you canadians are so wierd. The date on your camera says (to me anyway) December 6, 2007. Totally tripping me out.
Those are great :) I love the things you make!! I read My sisters keeper as well.. it was pretty good but I didn't cry :)
The cards look really nice. I like doing crafty things but have never gotten into scrapbooking.
Saoirse and Sophie are very cute!
The photo of Saoirse and Sophie is so cute I love the look on her face to and Sophies reaction is cute also
Honestly you do a great job on your cards even when you say they are simple. Sometimes the simplest are the best!
You are so creative!!
If you want some postcards from my area, email me your address & I'll send some.
I can send along some Tampa, FL postcards if you'd like, just send me your addy!
:o)
That pic of the girls is SO cute!!
And I LOVE those cards. I am attempting to make T his Father's Day card from Maya..we shall see how that turns out! LOL
you so talented...
The cards are cute...but not as cute as those two girls!!
Lovely cards and even LOVELIER babes!!
The cards are cute, but the girls look absolutely adorable!
Emma..those cards are awesome!
BTW- I did get the ones you sent me...except my mailman has been dyslexic for about 3 months and keeps giving my packages to my neighbor and he travels..so everything takes an extra week it seems.
Then I've been MIA for circumstances beyond my control....and well ..ya know.
I will GLADLY send Taylor postcards..please email your addy -since I think in a fit to "get organized" I threw away your envelope to me..
Great cards! Great idea for a gift!
You are the most talented person! I love your cards and your babies are so cute. I'll send you some more postcards from Myrtle Beach and Chicago (BlogHer).
Jodi Picoult makes me cry and think with every single book. I'm on my way to reading everything she has ever written.
Sweet sweet girls! Can't believe Sophie is so grown up and how do you get a comb through Saoirse's hair?
If only I'd known about the post card bit! I'd gladly send some your way! I'm just glad the mailman finally delivered my book! HOORAY! I thought, perhaps, the kleenex would get a laugh as you'll need much much more kleenex than that. :)
And those cards your made? Un.REAL. Good cod your talent is unbelievable. I'm just in awe. I say that every time but to explain what lack of creativity and talent I have is pretty impossible.
What a cool idea that jar of cards is. Love IKEA! All the cards look great and so handy all made up ahead of time like that. I need to take a day and do nothing but make cards to have on hand.
those cards are almost as cute as those kids!
My sisters keeper is a sob fest. Just warning you.
I love the cards...gorgeous!!
I think I have a package from YOU at the post office too!!! HEEE!!! They are bringing it to me on Saturday!!
All of those little cards are great idea. Handy to grab when you need to send out a card in a pinch. And they're very pretty too. :)
I've heard Jodi Picoult is good. I might pick up one of her books next.
I was a Stampin' Up Queen for five minutes, too :). LOVED your cards! (Did you see my craft Fun Monday last week? that's what I posted, some cards I've made).
The girls are adorable! Gosh, such cherubic cheeks.
Trying to catch up on Fun Monday...even though it's Friday. Off to look for your kitchen :).
Those cards are fab, what a brilliant idea.
Oh, and by the way...
You've just been tagged... you're "it"!
The cards are totally cute, great job! The kids? Too freakin' cute. It's making my uterus hurt.
The cards look great! Good for you!
Every picture in this post is tooooo cute. Wonderful cards and kids.
I gotta say, the ending of that Picoult book made me furious--it felt cheap to me. I'll be curious to see what you think.
