I can’t seem to get enough of fun colors lately. Yesterday I picked up some fun stuff at Joann’s to make an apron and a few items to put in my studio for the SOMEDAY that I get to decorate it again. (Too many walls to patch and stuff to repair in the meantime.) I love this color combo! This is a belated birthday card (standard A4 size) that I made for my sister, Elizabeth. Colors are White Daisy, Sweet…
So I have this friend, Alisha (who has been COOKING UP A STORM on her blog lately), and was the brains behind the Fantabulous Girlfriends Swap ages ago, and I was telling her that my Creative Muse has been AWOL….. well it appears that my Creative Muse has been visiting Alisha up in Oregon for the past who knows how long & has been conspiring with Alisha’s Creative Muse (see her blog)… lol!

I know, I say that about all the quotes I post on TFT’s and throughout the blog, but it’s true… quotes and thoughts are not going to make it here unless I really like them 🙂 I read this quote the other day and thought, “gee, that’s so true… or…
