While I was clearing out files on my old computer this week, I found some verrrrry old crafting files -- cards from the "early days." The folder of cards I found were from right after I first started crafting regularly. I thought it would be fun to post a bunch of them as a good laugh and a reminder of how far I've come. These are NOT meant to be inspiring! Honestly, I don't know how I ever saw these fit enough to send to anyone!
The earliest of the earliest is one that I made for my husband's aikido instructor back in 2003. I made the card base and the hakama (the garb they wear in class), and my husband tied the ends the way he did on the real garment. The folding is awesome (thanks hubby!). The card is otherwise pretty bad.
