The Friendly Crafters on FACEBOOK Tuesday Blog Event

ITS TUESDAY,

That means it the Tuesday Blog Event for the Friendly Crafters On Facebook

Well I am soooo Sorry I missed you the last 2 weeks but I couldnt let this week go by with out 

Wishing Each and Everyone of you A very Happy And Safe Holiday..

I Pray That during this time and the whole year thru that YAHWEH bless you and your Families each and every day..

It for me has been and INCREDIBLE Year, there have been some bumps in the ROAD but I am Truly Grateful for all that I have been Blessed with..

Earlier in the year.. My husband and I had planned to start a family together when he returns from Afghanistan,  and it breaks my heart to say that has changed. My son and daughter who are deployed have helped better the lives of others that are in need..
My other sons have ventured into the world out on there own...

Sometimes we look back and reflect as to where we have been the obstacles we have overcome and the friends, family,and  Faith to help us continue on..... I have realized how Truly Blessed I have been this Year by my God YAHWEH.

I have also realized that sometimes he answers our prayes when he sees fit... lol But rest assure all is always provided for the needs of the indivual... and I am hoping my prayers will be answered soon. 

Thank you for being being apart of my life, for taking the time to share your precious friendship.. It means the world to me

SO I thank each and everyone of you from the center of my Heart. For being the ear to listen the person to share that happy mail. and  to offer a kind word ...


Sincerely


Larelle- Susanne

The Friendly Crafters Tuesday Blog event how to Send Letters for 3 Cents

Ok Everyone its the Tuesday Blog event for the Friendly Crafters on Facebook. So for todays blog I wanted to share how I mailed my Holiday cards out for 4 Cents yes that is right 4 Cents. I mailed them NON DOMESTIC US MAIL..

I had made over 100+  Holiday Cards that I had to provide postage for so I really really needed to save money I found a few videos on YouTube that showed exactly how to mail  a 1 OUNCE letter. I wasnt sure how much my holiday card weighed so to be sure I stuck on another stamp just to be safe it got there.. THIS Was not used for APO/AE ADDRESSES.

I am going to include the links below to the 3 youtuber videos that I got the info from as well as my own litte video and example pic

hopes this helps everyone save just a little bit of money, every penny counts and I am sure you all want to spend that postage money you will save on other crafty things.

I mailed them as follows This is an example:

DT CALL Entry for Loves Rubber Stamps

Hi everyone just wanted to go ahead and share My favorite projects that I just love for Loves Rubber Stamps Design Team Call and share a little about me....

First My name is Larelle-Susanne Thoms, I am a Military Wife, Mother and a Nurse who loves to craft been doing it forever it seems like and I still love when I can create.. I do a vast variety of things, to include 3d cake baking, charms, altered items, layouts, crochet and right now my fav card making... just to name a few....  and if I forgot to mention I am going to be 30 Forever lol ...
I live on Fort Knox military post and my husband is deployed to Afghanistan so Right now I have lots and lots of time to craft and get my creativity going... I create something everyday  as a stress relief after a severe back injury and usually set it aside for my son who is also deployed to afghanistan or my daughter who is deployed to Korea..Mail is a big thing.. So doing just a few cards or few crafty goodies each day helps them be reminded someone back home is missing them deeply... I also create cards and other goodies for nursing homes and deployed military.

Earlier in the year I was a guest Designer for Loves Rubber Stamps and it was just one of the biggest thrills for me. I would love to be on This  Design Team for YOUR Fabulous Company. Its important to me to support companies who have quality customer service, great variety & quality products. Not only do I love Loves Rubber Stamps store I love the challenge blog, and it would be wonderful to be apart of such a great Design Team...

I am a current Design Team Member for Seemacrafts a online UK store and challenge blog, as well as the Friendlycrafters on Facebook, where crafters can go to a friendly environment  as questions, get help and just show off there creations. I have a blog and I am nurselarelle on yt and currently have 1063+ subscribers and growing, Ive hosted the Magnolia May Challenge, I also have twitter and  Facebook and do create videos to promote videos and events for crafts.This year I was honored to be nominated for best cards and Miss Congeniality for the Crafty Academy awards and have won several crafty challenges on youtube.

I am able to meet all the requirements. I love to step out of my comfort zone every now and then ...lol and loved doing sketch challenges and trying to broaden my crafty canvas porfollio...

Here are few things that I have created with just a few of the many stamps I have...

I hope you like the projects that I am sharing with you...
