I'm not very good at making time for me...like most women, I'm too busy being busy with other things...being a mom, a wife, a nurse, etc. So I guess this blog is about me...trying to make some time for me. I'm so glad you've joined me.

Just Magnolia Sketch & Paperplay Challenge
Quiet afternoon here...thank goodness!! I finished my Just Magnolia card early in the week...not sure I'll get to any crafting later in the week. This week Rachel posted a sketch for us to follow...which I did pretty closely.
I used Bazill Swiss Dot CS; MME PP; Tilda; gems and twine from Michael's; unknown flowers; buttons from Walmart, and Tilda holding a birthday cake...of course.
I have a blogging-buddy in Ireland who is on the DT for Paperplay Challenge and I have been meaning to give it a try for some time now...today I finally did. I used this beautiful image from Mo's Digital Pencil (photo icon in my sidebar...just click on it and it will take you right there). It is called "End of Summer", and I think she is so cute!! Makes me wish it wasn't raining here today so I could go into my garden to do the same thing:)
I have used Little Yellow Bicycle and Imaginesce PP; Bazill CS; pearls from Katy's pearls; and colored the image with my (far too few) Copics, and did the water coloring for the grass and sky with tombows and water.
Thanks for looking. Shirley.
