Perhaps the prettiest kit ever...

can be found here! It's a no brainer! Jenni Bowlin papers that look like old wallpaper!?!?!  Bellas, that's one of our girls! And the other  scrappy pieces that the Bad Girls have put together with the papers! Delicious! I got my daily email this morning from Scrap Scene, and a tiny photo of this kit caught my eye and boom, I was on that site. You definitely need to sign up for their email updates, I have found several new sites, I didn't know existed and some kickin; new friends, Hey Wendy! 

I'm not sure why those pale colors are catching my eye right now, but I am really zoning in on them. Rebecca is there, too and this darling little blue framed fabric collage is on it's way to my house! EEEEEEE, I can't wait!!! 

That little bird and the pale blue frame sucked me in, too! The sewing, both by machine and by hand, there is no one like Rebecca, is there? 

Maybe I better start playing with that color pallette since it seems to be calling to me? Is that what that means? I bought a bunch of feed sacks at a garage sale this summer and they are just the neatest, nubby woven texture that I like to run my hand over every once in a while. I should stop and make something out of them. I have been wanting to make some little frames and even stopped at the lumberyard today to inquire about a bundle of oak strips laying out front, perfect for making tiny frames. Only I had to take the entire bundle, which I would need a pick-up and a trailer for...and I have a very handsome neighbor who has a pick-up and access to his dad's trailer...oh, Rick? I brought your poor, sick wife soup and cookies while you were out of town and Jacob is willing to tutor you for free on the wii...

tee hee...

Although, I did clean out the garage last spring for a graduation party and it has been really nice to be able to walk around the vehicles and my husband is a lot happier now...but, oh, that wood is calling to me! 

Okay, change the subject, think about something else...

If you haven't signed up for Teresa's latest ezine, Bellarama, you really should. Her projects are so fun and fabulous and you probably have everything on hand. If you don't, see what you can substitute, and you'd be surprised at how crafty and creative you are! I really want to do today's project...and it doesn't involve wood...oh gosh, I need help! Is there rehab for crafters? Wait, there is, it's called Advanced Calculus! There is no winging it and see how things come out in there...AAUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!

Oh, I almost forgot, have you ever checked out Peachy Cheap? Brooke has a neat thing going, a scrapbook supply each day at a Peachy Cheap price, but when they are gone, they are gone. So do what I do and sign up for the email update. If you have an email then there is a new must have product for just peachy pennies!

Your "new palette" reminds me of the DARLING Christmas stocking ornament you made me at Silver Bella two years ago. :)
