Candy for Sally

I swear, I have never been so lucky, but when it comes to blog candy I am charmed. I got a comment from Di Hickman yesterday and she suggested I check out her blog. Well, I won her Friday Freebie, LOTS and Lots of FLOWERS! Yippee for me! Di is amazing. She has accomplished so much in the paper crafting world, other worlds, too, I am sure, but I can only read her craft resume. Go by and check out her blog, she can really inspire! Di, Thanks so much for my Flowers. I can't wait to use them.

My Sketch World

Just realized I never posted my sketch for the last challenge at MSW. (Picture quality is a little bit of an issue, but I can't afford a new camera so forgive the image flaws) You should see how everyone created something unique from the same sketch. The newest sketch is up and the DT did a great job making cards. I am working on my next interpretation of Lucy's sketch. They will post on May 10. Off to Hobby Lobby for 50% off Bling! Have a great day!

Gift for a friend and I [heart} Cricut

I am sad to say my friend is moving to Cincinnati. I made her this journal as a going away gift. I figured she can use it to handle the emotion of relocating or make it her place to keep all the information that comes from moving . You know, the address of new nail place, dry cleaners, neat stores to visit and new places to eat, etc. The journal was in the $1 section at Joann and I spiced it up a little by adding a bookmark, the paper clip, section tabs and the great embellishment on the front. I even went through the journal and stamped each page with a motivational quote from Inque Boutique's, Quotopia set. Sorry to see her go, but so glad she is happy with the next phase in her life!

We had a big party for her last night and I needed a gift bag for the journal and several other goodies I gave her. Enter the new Cricut my mom gave me. At the last minute, I decided to recycle an old bag. When I say last minute, I mean my ride was coming at 6:45 and it was 5:20 when I started. Did I mention that I still needed to shower and get ready for the party? Needless to say, I whipped up this cute bag, and got ready with time to spare. I am good!

I hope you had a great weekend. I am enjoying the rain. More to come this week. Have a super day!
