Creped Filter Paper

I know the picture isn't much...this one was a hard one to photograph....but I love this product.  Sometimes you just need a light weight material to go over or under something...and this one does the trick.  I used it here to make this cute little gift card holder.  Brayered the filter paper pink!!!

Been busy working on my new business...historical outfits for the historical American Girl Dolls.  Here is my first model...Felicity or Lissie for short.  So that is what I have been up too latey...stay tuned for the Grand Opening of my Etsy shop.

There always seems to be people at the house...how can that be, the kids are all grown and gone.....so, I'm always on the lookout for snackey type foods!!!!  Here's a really good one!
