While my blogging hiatus continues, I do feel that it is important to breach it one last time to share one of the layouts I have created as of late. Because of the inspiration, among other things, that I felt to create it, I also felt compelled to put it out there as well. Done in my gawd-awful handwriting, I felt it was more important to use that than the computer as it is more from-the-heart and personal than the other way. It is not the greatest of creations nor is it the greatest of representations but I think - - - I hope - - - it is the greatest representation of how I am feeling.
I belong to an awesome messageboard called Bad Girls. (yes girls, even though I lurk, I am still there ... lol) where a Secret Sister's Swap was organized. As you can see by the pictures, my sister totally OUTDID herself:24 pcs of patterened paper and cardstock
Maya Road sheer scroll frame album
Thickers foam letters
Amy Butler Glitter Rub-obs & Gems
Bling word & scrolls
Making Memories mini shimmer alphas
Felt Flowers
Chipboard album
5 rolls of satin cord
SU! embossing powder
A mini beach scene canvas to paint
and much, much more.
One element of the swap was handmade items. Look at all these goodies. Embroidered sayings and gorgeous flowers, hatpins ... oooohhhh the hatpins! I can't wait to get home and dig in!! (Did I mention that I am doing respite work today with a former student and we went for a drive to kill some time. I stopped by the post office, got my box of scrapping goodness, and opened it right there on the front seat ..... then I got in the van! lol)
I love it all, my Secret Sistah. You made my day.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
(PS - I now return to my hiatus status. This one was for you, cherie. I hope you had a happy read, Stéph! teheehee)
