A LONG WEEKEND FOR ME!

I will be leaving on Thursday morning to head up north and spend some time with my family for a long weekend. I will be returning on Monday evening.

Thanks to my friend, Denise, my sister and I will be planting a perennial garden for my mom! Then, providing Mother Nature is in a cooperative mood, we'll spend the rest of the weekend on the boat relaxing after having planted the garden.

Have a great weekend!

SIDE-STEP DRESSER CARD!

My dear friend and customer, Brenda, made this card to send to her friend; and she shared it with me. I am thrilled to be able to share it with you. This is so gorgeous!


This is a little close up view of the drawers. I love the antique look she acquired with distressing.


Brenda is so talented! Thanks for letting me share your card, Brenda!

FANCY FOLDS CLASS COMING SOON!

Love learning a new card fold or two? If so, the Fancy Folds class is for you!

You will make all three cards and receive the card patterns for only $15. I will provide decaf. coffee; water; light snacks and all the materials you need to make your cards.

MY BAD!!

I was so excited about my Holiday Stamp-A-Stack (SAS) yesterday, that I totally forgot to post on my blog~~my bad!! It was a great Holiday SAS, but I am sad to have neglected my blog readers.

So, today, there are two posts for you to enjoy!

I will try to keep up from now on and not neglect you, as I appreciate you stopping by for a little inspiration!
