Happy Saturday! I’ve got a busy, busy day today. My sorority, Sigma Phi Gamma, is having a “Fall Into Christmas” Event today at Preservation Station here in Jeff and I’ve signed on to be a roamer/helper. This is a new event for us . . . we have signed up Vendors (i.e., Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Longaberger, and many, many more), and opened the doors to the public. If you are local and want to get a jump on some holiday shopping, come on over and join us!
I guess I forgot to mention that the image on yesterday’s card is from Crafty Secret’s Heartwarming Vintage booklet, Seasonal Images & Journal Notes. I had it listed in the supplies, but I had actually typed a paragraph about it, and for some reason . . . . it disappeared from my post. I didn’t color the image . . . . that’s how it comes . . . . ready to use!
Today’s card is for all you non-stitchers out there. You know who you are . . . . those that say you can’t sew a straight line, never use a sewing machine, blah blah blah.
The image was stamped and embossed with gold and then mounted on rectangle Nesties™. I also die cut/embossed some smaller rectangles, which are behind the sentiment panel.
Don’t you LOVE the ribbon? Oh my gosh it makes beautiful bows and ties so nicely. I first saw this ribbon at CHA while in the May Arts booth with my friend, Cindy Lyles. I remarked then how pretty it was and then a package showed up at my front door. My sweet, generous, lost sister-friend, sent me some in every color!

Gorgeous Sherry!! No grunge??? I am off to shop at our local “Mistletoe Market”. A set of ladies have organized ‘home business’ people to bring their wares to sell for Christmas! This is the third year and it is a well-attended event. Amazing the talent in the area:) Enjoy your day!!
