Dear Friends ~ *

I found a treasure of vintage lace and
an old picture frame this weekend.


This is probably a very good thing
considering all the lace I have been
going through lately in my creations!

(I have been inspired by these two
lovely ladies and their blogs ~



ATC using Paper Whimsey images,
mica chips for window glass,
and vintage lace, twig, and
Patty's sweet bird nest.




Part of the trio of atcs
I am making for a challenge
on the Paper Whimsey Ning group.


Third atc for challenge


A peek at what is on my work table
"Music of the Night"


I have been wrapping up my school year
this week.  Please visit my classroom blog
101 Happys to see my wonderful smiling
2009-2010 class.  It has truly been a
WONDEFUL school year!

Blessings to All!
