slice of life...

I promised you a bow tutorial...it is in the works.

I promised you tea-stained twill tape....you can now buy it HERE at Frost it Pink.

I promised you a new Photo Challenge....and here it is...

I think I am in heaven....I see postage stamps, teacups, polka dots, scallops, stripes, roses and all things happy in this photo....thank you, thank you Leslie for sharing it with all of us.  Please let it inspire you and link us all up so we can visit you at your blogs and share in your creations.

I promised myself a little crafty time in with my paper and ink today...and this is proof that it did happen. 

This is the some of the twill I stained forFrost it Pink....this is the juicy, fatty cakes stuff...I love it's width. 

Thevintage image and stamp are from Crafty Secrets, flower and gems from Prima, paper from Melissa Frances, and frame from K&Co.
  
I promised my little girl homemade  sugar cookies....we are now feasting upon green, frosted bunnies with heaps of M&M's decorating each one.  I can't promise I won't eat anymore...

I promised spaghetti dinner tonight to my little bean, so off I go to get started.

Let me know what I've forgotten :)

Night friends.
