I'm Back With Lots To Share

Time has really gotten away from me the past couple of weeks. I can't believe I've gone this long without a post.

I was lucky enough to find some vintage Godey's Fashion plates this week. There are four of them and they're all so beautiful. Here is a picture of one of them.



Last Sunday I had a few friends over and Denise Juliani of Sparrow Songs came over to teach us how to make velvet strawberries. It was such an enjoyable class and Denise is very personable. If you ever have a chance to take a class from her it's a real treat. Aren't they pretty? I want to make some jumbo ones to hang on my pink x-mas tree.



Somerset Life (my favorite) had a challenge for dressed up calling cards. This is my submission. Simple but fun, this is my favorite colorful string.



I'm already feeling x-masy. I pulled out my collection of x-mas paper, etc. and made this tiny gift card size book...



And this 5x7 album for this years photos. It's a major eclectic mish mash of all kinds of x-mas bits from past years. It felt so nice to make something and use up old stash at the same time...



A peek at the inside...



I have some other projects that are almost finished. I'll be back to share those as well as a recipe for my favorite x-mas cookies that I'm going to make with The Littles this week.

Welcome back...it has been awhile - but I see you've been busy. Love all your items - my favorite - the mini gift card album - so cute. Can't believe the holidays are here already - time to start thinking of xmas cards to make

Good idea on the x-mas cards. I plan to send them every year and then for whatever reason they fall off the list. If I make them they WILL go out!!

I love this tiny book! So sweet and I really appreciate the book using older holiday stuff - great idea. I do need to do that.
