Christmas bells are ringing!!

So I am not the best at keeping up with my postings,
but I am going to give myself a pass as I finish up my FINAL week of pregnancy! That's right, I am in my 39th week and anxiously awaiting the birth of my son. EEK!

I still got to get my Christmas craft on, so wanted to encourage yall to head over to the shop for all kinds of goodies - tags, cards, sets and more!






Lots of Christmas love and blessings <3

Back in Action

Alathea Papergoods is back in action, after a site move (phew!) and one uncomfortable pregnant lady on the mend.
As I enter my 8th month, I have gotten back my crafting bug and sometimes, ability. Sooooo, new items - including CHRISTMAS (swooooon!) are being added to the shop daily.
A new CLEARANCE & SALE section has also been added, with goodies reduced and half priced! Check it out and grab them while you can.

Many apologies for the blog neglect, but here's hoping for a strong and healthy return (at least until our son is born!) :o)

Blessings, Sara

Long time, no stamp.

A much needed update, as we close shop temporarily as we move crafting locations (my home!) :o)

So sorry for the lack of posts, updates and new products over the past few months. In April my right hand thumb LOCKED and I was forced to take a break from crafting my cards. :o(
At this same time, my hubby and I found out we were PREGNANT with our first! <3 Turns out, the thumb/joint locking is most likely pregnancy related (go figure?!).

So after getting through a rough first tri-mester I am happy to say we are now almost at the halfway mark (20 weeks!) and my thumb is slightly better off. One cortizone shot later I can at least move it. We are now moving homes, so posts and products will continue to be slow... but I hope to change this sometime mid or late August as we settle in.

Mother's Day approaches...

Though my card making may slow down, I can still post some of the current Mother's Day goodies in the shop:









Singles, pairs, gift tags??? Does she have a favorite verse??? I probably have a card (or at least the stamp) to match!

Splinted.

Things may slow down slightly in my blog... but maybe (hoping) not?

Had to get a splint on my writing hand thumb today - and have to keep it on for the next MONTH!. Beter than it getting stuck, hurting and swelling. Not too excited abt trying to craft this way but I am sure I will figure out a way (MUST keep crafting!!) :o)

Already figuring out a way to type quickly... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

We were blessed with a visit from my parents and really enjoyed time together especially with this gorgeous weather!
