Before I get started...
I wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciate your
kindness and support of my blog, social media channels, and
for following my crafty adventures!
I may not respond to every post (which I hope to improve on in the future),
I do read every post and your words touch my heart. Thank you!

I wanted to let you know, I am taking a small break from hopping/blogging for the next couple months, because we will be moving again.
I hope to rejoin my craft teams in the fall, when my craft room is unpacked.

Your first card reminds me of my hubby ... he was a carpenter for many years. I also love the smooshed BG you created for it. Awesome cards as usual. Thanks so much for the win from last month - so exciting and very grateful. hugs, Becca

I forgot to answer the question! lol I just bought a bunch of BG stamps from Unity and also had won a grill image - I plan to use that for his Father's Day card.

Oh my goodness, safe travels and wish you well with all the packing unpacking upset and change, hopefully a happy move. I had a friend who moved "every time her house needed dusting" (army brat), whom I miss and love. Thanks for the memory! Beautiful cards, but you had me at schmoosh ❤❤
