- Weekend with my family...priceless!
- A shopping spree at a newly discovered distributor...awesome!
- The snow that's been falling (we're under a snowfall warning) since Monday morning...gahhh!!!!
I'll be sharing more details about my darling niece and nephew - Ms. T begins ballet lessons tomorrow - in future posts Being with her and her mom when she bought her new ballet shoes, body suit and tights on Sunday was simply fabulous. She is going to be so darn cute; I'm excited to see pictures and, of course, performances, when next I visit (only three weeks...). As for my shopping trip....I may have gone hog-wild crazy...stay tuned for the scoop!
The snow. Don't. Want. To. Talk About. It. Forecast is a for return to 'summer-ish' temps on the weekend. Sure hope so!
Right now, however, I'm crazy-maniac dashing in with a card for TIME OUT #13, and its inviting inspiration phrase from Twelfh Night (the high school English teacher part of me smiled when I read that...speaking of teacher, I have more news on that little facet of my life to share later, too): 'If music be the food of love play on'
I drew on CAS(E) this Sketch #91 for the layout
A trial run of a new purchase is making a debut - namely the amazing shimmery "Joy" paper used for the treble clef...It's a WOW!!
NOTE: Honoured and delighted to receive an HM over at CAS(E)) this Sketch...THANK YOU!!
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments add sparkle to my day!
Great card Carol and an awesome post!
