It's a little hard to see this set...it's one of the ones that they did, using one block for 2 stamps....so it makes it a little hard...but I just love the tree and flower stamps in this set....it is a great Sympathy set....but also a great all around set!!!!  as you can see....this is a much loved set!

Here's an extra card I found that I had made up using stuff out of the Holiday Catalog...I think that is my all time favorite Catalog!!!! This may be next years Christmas card!!!!

Here are a few cards that we did as projects at Phyllis' this past month.  Love the Sesame Street ones!!!!  And they are just so dang easy!!!!

Thought I's show you the project I've been working on the past few weeks....

It was supposed to be larger...but first I couldn't find a piece of Aida cloth large enough without ordering it, and them after I got it all done, couldn't find a ling skinny frame big enough...so, thee is a whole section after the welcome, that I will have to make a paper weight out of.  I like the way  it came out!
