ENJOY...

Hello Sweet friends.

I don't know about you  

but here in Las Vegas summer is definitely upon us.

Everyday this week should be nice and hot.

This is always the time of year I question why

in the heck do I live here.

The good news is that this is the time of year

that we take lots of trips to escape the heat. 

So I guess it's not all that bad.

I just love the word enjoy..  It is such a happy word.

The word just makes me smile. 

And it is the word that was printed by a sweet blog friend

on the front of this card.  Thanks Cynn.. 

So let me show you what I created for this weeks challenge over at

City Crafter challenge blog. 

It's a tiny little pillow.  I had so much fun making this. I was

so happy to see that my sewing machine still worked on material.

It has been awhile.  As you probably know I use it a lot for my cards. 

Although I did do some hand stitching also..  

It was my turn to host this week so I came up with the theme

Buttons, Buttons.  You must use 5 buttons on your project.

As you can see I used some pretty fun elements on my project

Like Burlap and Lace and Seam Binding.

I am really happy with the way this turned out

but my sweet Husband doesn't understand why someone would

need a little pillow like this.  So I had to explain that girls just

like pretty things to decorate there space with.

He couldn't argue with that.. :)

To get all the details on this challenge you can

I also wanted to share some 

HAPPY MAIL

that I received..

Here is a postcard that I received from Valerie from Bastelmania.. 

I just love the collage work here. Thanks so much my friend.. 

I love it. 

And that's not all

I also recieved these wonderful magazines with some chocolate and

a couple of stamps from another sweet blog friend.  Cynnie,  And her blog is Galerie 46.  

These magazines are in German and I have really enjoyed looking through them.

So pretty.. Now if I could only read some of the recipes.. Hee Hee.. 

And here is the beautiful card Cynnie

made me.. It really is gorgeous.. 

I love the way she wrote the word Enjoy..

But I think I already told you that..

Thanks you so much my sweet friend it really was

so kind of you.. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs~
