Hello and can I just say I’m so glad it’s November! Not that you’d know it from the weather here. That dusting of snow is gone off my mountain ridges and the golf course is busy!

It was another fun filled week playing with fabric, hiding indoors from the heat and trying to not stress when the thunderstorms brought lightning strikes, wildfire starts and wonderful torrential rain!

These past two weeksContinueContinue reading “January Scrap Happy Day”
