  • An Egg-cellent Easter

    I made these holders for my grandchildren, David 10, Felicia 8 and Rachel 2 1/2.  I bet you can guess who will receive which candy holder.  They are like the ones I made for Teacher Appreciation Week.   After making the 1st two candy holders, the next 3 went pretty fast. I didn't really want to…

  • You’ve been tagged!

    New crazy game of tag.  You get tagged, pick the 6th folder in your photo gallery, pick the 6th picture in that folder, add to your blog with a description.

  • Fifth Avenue Flower

      It's a cold and windy day and this card is just perfect for this type of day.  You can't get more cheerful than a bright yellow card, can you? I cheated a little and did not use all SU products (gasp!!).  I wanted this ribbon for the card – the black gingham I had…
