Hello dearies! So sorry that I've not posted - just realized that it has been a whole week - you know how sometimes life just gets in the way... I've had lots of family/school/volunteer/social obligations and haven't had much time to sit down, get my thoughts together, take photos or post. I'm sure that you all understand.
I did want to let you know about two amazing books that I just got from Amazon. The first isn't new - it's Cath Kidstons' In Print which has been on my Wishlist for ages. But, get this, right now is only $6.99! It's SO lovely - pretty, pretty fabrics and project instructions for all of you sewers out there. Also, I just couldn't stop myself, I HAD to order Sandra Evertson's new book, Fanciful Paper Flowers. Again, pretty, pretty book with lots of doable paper projects and yummy ephemera to copy. I can't wait to get started on some projects - both are filled with eye candy and inspiration!
I've also been SO lucky this week and won, not one, but two giveaways from the lovely and generous Heather (who has as beautiful new website) and Donna (who has the most amazing, new-to-me, blog). Yippee - lucky me! I will post photos when I receive my prizes - can't wait. I've got lots of new pretties to share with you but haven't had time to take photos yet - I will try to take those later today.
Enjoy your afternoon, girls!
How lucky for you. That is always nice.
Love the book.
Have a great weekend,
Rosemary

Hi there Dawn.
I hear I am going to be participating in a round robin journal with you and some other talented ladies started by Dede Warren! How exciting!!
I have just ordered that Cath Kidson book-in face, it should arrive this week!
Can't wait!! Take care!

Both those books look great. I got an out-of-print book a while back that shows how to make the most FANTASTIC ribbon flowers you can possibly imagine. I've been meaning to get one of those old Dennison How to Make Crepe Paper Flowers books from ebay. The only thing I can make with my vintage crepe paper is a rosette. Does Sandra work with crepe paper at all in her book??
