Congratulations on new grandbabies!

Special congratulations go out to two of my "other mothers" on the births of their most recent grandchildren!  Vicki has her first granddaughter (in addition to her 5 grandsons) and Linda has her first grandson (in addition to her three granddaughters).

Congratulations, Ladies!  I'm so excited for you and expect to see pictures of all of your little (and not so little anymore) darlings!

July Stamp of the Month

I'm so proud of myself--I finished my July swap cards before June 1!  (I didn't have to have them done until June 25th.)  Woo-Hoo! 

This is a great patriotic set that coordinates really well with the Fanfare paper  (I really like the bright primary colors of the Fanfare paper.)

June Stamp of the Month

Have you seen this fun stamp set?  It's only available this month and has some great holiday themed stamps as well as general celebration stamps.  They work well with our 1 1/4" punch, too.  These were the cards I made for a swap.

Good Things Come in Small Packages Workshops

These are pictures of projects from a couple of "Good Things Come in Small Packages" workshops.  We made some fun gifts that wouldn't break the bank.

Thanks, Camille!

Woo-Hoo!  I just set up my very first blog--how exciting! 

Special thanks to Camille for her assistance in coming up with a blog name!  (She let me bounce a bunch of ideas off of her--and she gave a bunch of suggestions.  Thanks, Camille . . . I would still be "blog-less" without you!)  Check out her blog at:  http://creativelycamelot.blogspot.com

Ahhh! How did you find this?!

Ahhh!  How did you find my blog?  I just signed up for it!  Just kidding--I'm glad you're here.
