{Happy Valentine's Day} February Diva Inspiration Blog Hop


Hi Guys and Welcome to our February Diva Inspiration Blog Hop,

well it's February which means Valentine's Day is coming up which always makes me think of chocolate sooo that's how I ended up with this sweet shoppe inspired color theme of mine here. :)
I've been super busy ...again...what's new right?! lol
But we're about midway through our term so finals are kicking in. On top of that I'm hoping to either get an internship or even a job next term which means I've had to put a demo reel together, look at companies' job listings and write cover letters. I have not had to write a cover letter in AGES!!! lol
I had to do some serious research to figure out what to even put in them! lol

Anyway...God willing I will find the right job at the right time! :)
Also a quick update on my dad: he's doing (all things considering) well. He just had his third chemo treatment this week. They haven't found any more tumors so that is wonderful news and he even started to do a little tinkering around the house again...well...whenever he has his energy back at least. :)

So now that I've caught you up on my life....let's talk Verve!!!!

  22. So happy to hear your father is handling the chemo so well. I've thought about him often since reading about him the last few weeks. My own Dad is getting older and more feeble and it's so scary. And your job will happen and will be great! But never stop making these terrific cards! We enjoy them so very much! Take care.
