The weekend passed in a blur, with nearly all of Saturday spent proofreading a thesis (trust me, not mine!) that was quite fascinating and yesterday, crafting, while listening to Christmas Carols. Michael Buble, specifically and oh my, wonderful! In the midst of seeming 'everything' I did, I still feel as though I accomplished very little! Ever experience that? I still have cards for family to make, and tags; however, Round 5 are nearly done! Assembly line assembling planned for later.
My morning's first realization: I didn't post my Freshly Made Sketches card! Before the link closes (even before I pour a cup of coffee!), and before I head to work - in the rain (crazy weather!) and chinook wind - I'd best do so. I'll also add that I was completely, totally and 100% inspired by Cindy Lovell's stunning card shared in the DT gallery. Her work is amazing. Absolutely amazing!!
Thanks for dropping by; your visit and comments make my day!
