I don't have any updated Life Book or Express Yourself pages. I'm in the middle of Week 12 with Finnabaer. My first attempt was not quite what I wanted but I liked the technique. I started a new page and like where it's going but is not ready for sharing just yet. I didn't work on Week 13 … Continue reading Braid Girl

I am on Supplies Me Week 7. Have I mentioned how much I love this class? I have enjoyed all of the Jane Davenport eclasses.

Baby steps, my friends. Today's post is … Continue reading Supplies Me Lesson 1
