All Kinds of Exciting Happenings!


Very first, I'd like to welcome brand-new team member, Jennifer Tripp! You are such a gracious hostess and a delight to work with! Welcome!



How cute is this?! Do you recognize the purse?



How about now when it's a travel bag?

Okay, I'll tell you..... it's the coffee mug die!
That's right - the great little coffee mug from Scentsational Season in the Holiday catalog.
Turned on it's side it makes the sweetest purse or suitcase.
I just happen to be going to a purse sewing party tonight and am taking them as favors for the gals! Hopefully I'll be able to show you my ultra-darling purse tomorrow.
I've included a mini tutorial at the end of this post just for you!

Lorie,
It's from Perfectly Preserved. It just hides the snowflake so you can use the mug year round.
