So I played with 6x6 lo's today...Mira is home for the 2nd day with a fever still...when I think it broke-it's back....but she is very playful and eats...will take her to the docs if her fevers continue. It's weird they come & go.
This first lo is for the challenge on MM blog, to use flowers...that funky flower makes me think of Kelli Crowe...she is the queen of funky flowers in my book...so I was a bit inspired by her!!! I was so into using my Hero Arts dot stamp on my tags...lovin' dots today!!! Actually all tags are stamped with HA's stamps!!
The last project is a coaster our DT got from Ranjini...so I used more bits of the April kit...it's something to hang on my studio door!!! I think I will have LaVaughn drill me some holes to string some ribbon through!!
Today was good because:
I got an email from Scrapbooks Etc for a lo, my 1st with them-YAY!!!!
Mail was really good...lots of MM goodies from Ebay....and my first CK check came-wow!!!
Hi Keisha!
This is my first time to post a comment on your blog since I just recently discovered it. However, I have been an admirer of your work on 2peas for a long time now! You are a big inspiration to me. I love how you use the neutrals for the back drop on alot of your layouts. When ever I am in a rut, I pull out my tan cardstock :) I just can't seem to find the right color tan though - Would you mind sharing where you get yours? If not, I understand. Thanks again for everything you do and share with us!!

Hi Keisha, I'm new to your blog too.....found you through 2 Peas and I just HAD to write to tell you how much I adore your work! I have been in such a scrap rut lately, not sure why, but after spending some time browsing through your lovely gallery I am now SO inspired so THANK YOU! I am a military wife too, or I'm guessing you're a military family anyway, so I can relate. I plan on visiting your blog often!! Have a great day.

Hi Keisha,
I too am a long time fan from 2 peas and found your blog through Kelli's. I am happy to know you will be in BHG!!
I also am inspired by your LOs. I went to the LSS yesterday and bought Basic Grey's Urban Couture just because of your LOs.
