Build a Bear Class at Garner NC Library

On Saturday I am offering a children's class using our Build a Bear die cut at the library in Garner, NC. I know the children will love it. They will make two bears and my downline Jessica and I have already made the sleeping bags out of the top note die cut and they are so cute. When they finish they will keep one bear and sleeping bag and we will donate the other one to the Ronald McDonald house in Chapel Hill. I am looking forward to Saturday. I will also be offering Build a Bear Birthday parties for children contact me for more information. Flyer for class at the library.

This is a close up of one of my samples.

This is prep area when working on 15 and matching designer paper with cardstock. What fun that was.

Thanks for stopping by. Frances

Happy Mother's Day

This is the card I made my mother for Mother's day and she loved it. You can't tell but on the elegant eggplant part I used the Manhatten Flower embossing folder and it really looks sweet.

Several weeks ago my husband was planting spinach and I never noticed what he was doing (he normally plants them in a row and a few weeks later I was outside and he was watering the garden and I happened to pay attention to the spinach and this is what he did, is this not sweet or what. He planted spinach and mustard greens in a heart shape. I was so surprised. :)

I got to celebrate Mothers day a little early last week. My son Chris surprised me with a visit from New Hamphire. My other son Eric and his wife Chrissy invited us over for dinner on April 30th and when we got there my other son was there cooking dinner for us. What a sweet surprise. After chatting with me on the phone Chris called Eric and said you better invite her over quick you know how she has those stamping parties and classes. Well they know me well. I did have a church craft fair but I called my partner and told her I would help her set up and I would work an hour but then she was on her own. It worked out perfectly. Thanks for letting me share my blessings.

My Garden

My first roses to bloom these are ever so soft yellow with pink edges. They are beautiful. I do not know the name of them, a friend gave them to me several years ago.

These are my first iris's to bloom this year, they are so beautiful. I love the way God paints such beautiful pictures in my yard. Thanks for letting me share. I hope to take these as inspiration and make some flower cards this week. Check back later this week to see what I come up with.

Thanks for stopping by.
