Our power was out most of the day on Monday due to a big rain & wind storm so I didn’t get much done that I wanted to get done. So in the spirit of catching up....Two week-ends ago, I attended a “Virtual Retreat” in place of an “in person” event at a beach… Continue reading Oh To Be in a Tropical Oasis

I love making 3D Projects - boxes, bags and treat holders, but its even more fun when it’s something as fun as this purse and the little notecards that you can tuck inside.
