You're sew nice

You really are.
Truly. :)

 
Pretty layers...that little piece of ribbon 'round the mannequin is why I save my precious ribbon scraps. :)

I just had to post this after all the sweet comments you left me over the week. You made me smile and beam so much....wish I could return the favor and send a card to each and every one of you (though it would probably take awhile to reach you, procrastinator that I am). A more realistic thing to do would be to leave some love at your blog, which I will attempt to do tonight...I have to hurry though because I get to go on a little vacay tomorrow - yay!

Now I'm going to enjoy my afternoon with a movie, a hockey game, some yummy food, my family, and maybe, just maybe, some papercrafting. ;)

Enjoy your weekend!!
