Well I have had some great opportunities to go crafting lately so I have some projects to share with you!


I am also excited to announce that I will be going on my very 1st retreat in April!!!! So excited, 4 of us girls have registered so far, and I hope I am able to attend all 4 days, but will have to play it by ear....We are allowed to bring alcohol as well, and get to bunk together, can you spell F-U-N? I am a tad concerned though as I have never scrapped drunk before. ha ha ha, I will of course be on my best behavior!!! Here are the details if anyone is interested...




Hope you enjoy all the craftiness, my mojo has been over flowing lately...hope it stays! Which is your fave??? Have a colorful day!!!!

lime green + daffodils = happiness

Little reminders of spring, and freshness! Had to treat myself to these pretties!

This was the best 49 cents I ever spent! and also equalled oodles of happiness, I love these 2!

Somebody's Lucky day......

I adore it! It is so fresh, I can't wait o go find some fun stuff to jazz it up with, new tea towels, throw rug, decorations, maybe a couple of shelves? Of the possibilities!
