Playing in Paradise

Last week, my friend, Marcia had Jo and I over for a day of beading.  I have a loooong history of creating the world's worse necklaces (according to Jill and Janet and the lady who stood behind me in the taxi line at the Bellagio in Vegas).  Thanks to Marcia, I have come along ways.  Last year I made a necklace I loved with patient tutelage and this year, made this.

I met two of my funny, delightful and talented friends (and yes, I am blessed with an abundance of funny, delightful and talented friends) Janet and Lisa at Whim So Doodles in St. Pete for some retail therapy and then lunch.  I picked up a couple of papers (snort) and a few of the new American Craft thickers.  Oh, and for Pam Bennett, I also found some navy letter stickers by Pebbles. 

And I am heading back south to Whim's one day this week to pick up the G45 papers for my design work for the store.  So much paper goodness and so little time...happy creating everyone.
