Heartfelt

I have been having the best time with Janna's class. Almost (I said almost) as good as taking a class with her in person. LOL!! Here are some pictures of my version of project #2. It is called "heart*felt photo garland".

Here are some close-ups:

It is all about my son, Bryant!

What a COOL dude!!

I also have been blessed with some 'Happy Mail' this week. I LOVE happy mail. I have made some of the greatest friends through the scrapbooking community and I feel so blessed to be a part of it. It really makes me so happy!!! These goodies came from Mia. Aren't they amazing?!!!

She had already sent me this for the Easter swap at Studio Calico . Look at all the AMAZING stuff she sent me!! All together 'WOW!' She added the extra 'Boy' items after. Look at those COOl boy papers. She got them from an Austalian company call Kaiser . A few companies are actually (finally!) coming out with some really cool boy lines. There are a few out there that I really LOVE. This is definately one of my new favorites!!

Guess what else I got? I got the 'Threading Water' punch by Fiskars from my SWEET friend Aleida . This punch is all the rage on the message boards at Studio Calico. Everybody wants one and now I have one! Thanks Aleida!!! I am so EXCITED!!!

I wanted to share one more thing. I LOVE class kits! Especially when they are from some of my favorite people. I aquired this mini school album from the AMAZING Debbie Hill . Isn't it cute!

If want a kit, you can get one here.

Still having fun! Glad it is the weekend! Happy crafting!!!!

Do you realize how loved you are. I am so glad that you got all that stuff, you so deserved it and Mia freaking rocks. Hello I want some of that paper! Gotta chat with her on where to get it. :)

Seriously that punch is just a small thing. Hopefully I can do more later. I appreciate you very much Dawn. Your friendship is a great gift to me. Thank you and much love girl.
