Hope you have a wonderful Weekend!  I have now sent out all of the digi prizes.  PLEASE let me know if you did not receive it.  In a couple cases the prize should have been sent by the store instead of me, so there could have been a email typo.  ALSO--I sent some using .zip files and i realize some of you may not have .zip file removers, if you don't, just LET ME KNOW and I will unzip them for you and send you files that you won!

Enjoy!

Treat Yourself

How fun to have two days of "Treat Yourself"  I think that can only be happening during sprint break.  It made me think of this Unity stamp, Treat Yourself was just perfect for this week.  I know we all want a little treat now and then.  This card is doubly moreso for me as it uses some Turkish lace on it.  You know that is just what I want.  HA!

 

Hope you have a little treat today.  Huge hugs.

Treat Yourself

Woo hoo, it's spring break!  You know all the kids and teachers are ready for that.  I am using this cute Lili of the Valley stamp and a sentiment, "Treat Yourself" to share a card today perfect for the occasion.  I also added some luscious Turkish lace to the bottom.  I also got a piece of this wonderful lace, wish I had found more than a remnant of it.

Wishing all of you a wonderful rest of the week!
