Hello friends! Today is such a beautiful day. It's raining outside and I can smell the sagebrush and wet earth...it's the most heavenly smell to me. This week we've been doing our best to fight off the dreaded flu bug that's going around, my husband has been busy on the road, but is home again, yaay! And, basketball season for the little bean is back in session. She eats it up, dribbles her ball throughout the house, teaches me the drills she's learning, wears her jersey non-stop, and switches into coach mode...I love it and love seeing her grow and sprout wings.
I have a couple of Melissa Frances projects to share with you today using the new Classic Elegance collection resin appliques, German glass glitter, trims, vintage bling, vellum envelopes, etc.
These lovely, soft colors just melt me...I love how delicate and soft they are mixed in with all of my favorite things. I created this house wall hanging for the Melissa Frances CHA booth using beautiful, vintage cardstock stickers, paper, etc.
Shabby is delicious to my crafty eyes and fingers....it speaks to my heart and nourishes my mind and soul.
Sigh...luscious, dreamy, ethereal.
Have a beautiful day. The rain is calling me outside, so out I'll go to soak it in, run in the hills, and thank my Heavenly Father for this sweet little life I call mine.

Such pretty, pretty things. Love both. Thanks for the blog tip. Enjoy your rainy day - it only made the snow turn to ice here. My puppy loves sliding on it, so it is fun.

I love both these projects, Melis! I feel the same way about shabby--can't get enough of it. Something about it makes me feel content. We are in a definite bit of an artic blast after temperatures in the 50s last week. May get a bit of snow tomorrow. I hope so!
