HERE I AM!!!

Holy Moly! I suppose anyone reading this, in the recent past, thought I had died!
I had such a BUSY summer and on the go so much, I didn't have time to think straight!
I have pictures of some of the fun things I did this summer, that I'll share. And, some project pictures to show.

Mom and I went to Iowa *3rd year in a row* and between that trip and back and forth between my moms house and where hubby is working now, I only slept in my own bed for a total of 16 nights, between the day after Labor Day and November 10, last Wednesday, when I came home, again.
I am W.O.R.E out! 2 months of non-stop GO GO GO~

I did have a workshop/class at the 'little house' Saturday! My poor ladies were sure missin' me! LOL And, I missed them, too! They all are so sweet. We hadn't met since AUGUST! We even celebrated one of the ladies birthday that day, complete with cupcakes from Safeway, a few gifties for her and some singing! LOL

Here are the projects they did:

Class Project

Here is one of the cards we made Saturday, the 14th, at the 'little house'.

When I was cutting out the crumb cake top note piece for another project I'll show you soon,

I had ALL these leftovers.

Then, the light bulb came on, and inspiration struck!

hehehe That doesn't happen too often, since I mostly CASE.

I wanted to show my ladies how to make the clouds. They LOVED it!

This set JUST BELIEVE is my favorite set from the new IBC.

To make the clouds you just punch out a scallop circle piece, use a cloud color on a sponge piece and dab the color on top of the edge of the circle, move the circle over and dab some more until you are happy with the results.

My pink butterfly 'flew' way up there!

Actually, she is covering a boo-boo!

Oops! There are no boo-boos, right!?!

The oval sentiment looked better on TWO night of navy punches, versus one cut in half, with the white sentiment piece centered on top. The little rhinestone just seemed to finish the whole card off a bit.

LOVE those rhinestones that are new in the IBC, also the pearls!!
