Card Cupids Winter Wishes Holiday Drive


Card Cupids is having a Winter Wishes Holiday Drive to provide toys for children in need.
My husband, Tom and I went to Walmart, and Tom had waaaaay to much fun in the toy dept! These toys are on the UPS sleigh to Card Cupids.

Christmas is about Giving.

Find an organization near to your heart, and
Be a Blessing.

Spirelli string art


I saw a beautiful card created by Carol Norby, and I knew I had to try this.
I used the "Sew Easy" fancy floss available from Memory Works, and a scalloped circle cut with my Spellbinders die.
Here is a link to a great tutorial.

Craft Fair pictures part 1


Yesterday I sold my cards at a craft fair, and the proceeds benefitted Hope's Haven Pet Rescue. The rescue brought several of their kittens that are looking for their "fur"ever homes. If you live in the middle TN area, and you, or someone you know, is looking for a "fur"ever friend, please contact the rescue.

I enjoyed a very successful craft fair yesterday!
Lots of shoppers, with great variety of vendors.
