I had a short post up last night, which  mysteriously disappeared about 7:30 this morning.  This is  a very abbreviated version as I test to see if I can get this post to stay up. 1) Check out Jenny Gropp’s Blog on coloring silk ribbon with copics and other helpful tips on bows and adhereing […]

I needed to make time this morning to make a card — just because I *needed* to — I’m sure you know that need — LOL!!! I started making a half circle gatefold to use up the other half circle piece from my last post, but that was thrown by the wayside for another day […]
