Bee Warm!

It’s hard to believe that 2011 is officially old news – I guess it’s time to look back, take stock and reflect on the past year.

Silver Bella – The Projects!

In addition to the glitter-fest of a group class the first night taught by Teresa McFayden, I took 5 classes at Silver Bella.

and have been totally inspired by this new [...]

A Lovely Gift

I’m a big fan of cuff bracelets. It’s like being able to wear mini works of art. Isn’t this one just to die for? Thank you to sweet Leeanne, the swap hostess and organizer of the Young Victoria Altered Book Project I participated in this past spring. She made each of the gals who [...]
