Just had to pop in and share our Midsummer Maiden (from last summer’s amazing Midsummer Mingle). We couldn’t just stop at fairies so we played around with giving this gal her own proper floral crown. So fun….oh and I think I’m addicted to this. When all the flowers are gone I’ll move onto autumn leaves! …

Friends did you see that Jordan of Oh Happy Day! is starting up her Craft Nights again? Makes we wish I lived in norther Cali. I’d sign for the floral design and screen printing classes like yesterday! Jordan asked me to contribute a couple of designs for the event and this little juice cup is …
