Slightly crooked pics today of a card I made for a friend.
My favorite part of the 'poem' Imagine A Woman.
Imagine a woman who values the women in her life.
Imagine a woman who sits within circles of women.
Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.


So true.
So lucky to be within the circle.
Sometimes in the circle, sometimes in the center.
Sometimes we all need to be reminded.

I made this tin for a fellow Nancy Drew fan.
Therapeutic...

...to give...

...and to receive.

There are plenty of summer mysteries out there to be solved!

Still keeping my determination to get more crafting done this summer.

Also enjoyed time yesterday with my niece, Vivian.

With the exception of a nasty hot pink hoola-hoop incident

with the neightbor girl, all went swimmingly.

I know! I'm such a bad blogger. Is anyone even still out there?

But I at least do have an excuse...I've been crafting! In between trying to get all the minutia of my life settled out since the school year ended (all the things I've been putting off getting done...) I was mulling over how to do this project! Friends of the family celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary...

But not just any friends, they also were our next door neighbors

and babysat us...forever. All my brothers and I.

So it needed to be a mixture of wedding, and our own fond family memories.

Hopefully, I accomplished the task! Now I'm off to work on a journal page.

Stop by and let me know what you've been up to!

Seriously. How long do you think it took me to grab up this little beauty at the antique mall a few weekends back? Yeah, about that long. Love her!

I made this card for one of my children's teachers for the end of the year. Don't forget to thank a teacher in your life! It's never too late.
