I don’t know about you, but I am ready for Spring to arrive in Minnesota! We just had another huge snowstorm with at least 10 inches of heavy, wet snow – it is a winter wonderland out there! Besides snow blowing the driveway, I have had some time in my stamp room getting ready for the Rosemount High School Craft Fair this Saturday, March 10th from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. I have bunnies jumping around all over my stamp room- LOL!
Like my nephew Nicholas always tells me – I am like the energizer bunny – always busy with something! I have created stamping survival kits (you have to see them – so, so cute!), bunnies on pizza boxes, gift boxes with 3×3 note cards and a little chocolate too! If you jump on over to my Facebook Page on Friday, I will have some of the items posted there.
Besides all the little gift ideas I have been making, I have been making cards too. Here is one that I received as a swap from Kathy A. – I just changed the greeting on it – its just the little things, isn’t it?
