    Wintery scene Beauty of Friendship card idea.

    Wintery scene Beauty of Friendship Here in Indiana, we are expecting a Wintery scene Beauty of Friendship helped me to create. Yes, the temperatures are going to drop. Yes, we are supposed to get snow. I know not everyone is as excited as I am, but that is okay. It is safe to enjoy this idea, right? The cardinals having been checking out the bird feeders. Our trees are mostly bear. We have several oak trees that hold their leaves. And I will just leave the snowy background to your imagination. I was sure to use my favorite adhesive, dimensionals. Why?

    First Sunday of November being Grateful.

    First Sunday of November With this being the first Sunday of November, I wanted to change things up. For the next month I wish to talk about being Grateful.

    Pillow Gift

    When I came back from CenterStage… more Sunday on that. This little bag was overflowing with Butterflies. Does this girl know me or what?? She is know by several nicknames, but Paula you are the best! As my unofficial secretary, paper pumpkin police AND my friend, we have so much fun together. And to think that she almost did not come to the second class. WOW, that would have been soo sad, especially for me. My sweet friend I love you back and am grateful you were brave and tried again! You will have to ask her the story. No she did not make the scarf, but she sure made…
