Look at the gorgeous pillow cases that arrived in my mailbox today from Lisa at Celebrate Creativity. I love red, and they remind me of the time I spent embroidering with my grandmother when I was young. Thanks so much Lisa!
I got some fun prizes in the mail from Page Plans for winning two of their sketch challenges. I love the fun felt letters and the little ice cream treat embellishments. I also got a fabulous Thank You card from my Gran and her crafting friends. Even though my Gran and I have lived miles … Read more
