Hi Crafty Friends! Here's wishing my fellow Americans a very Happy Independence Day! Although fireworks are illegal in our area it seems there are those who can’t be stopped and they have begun early as I can hear them now. Our Daughter has only just had her LAST Chemo therapy treatment(Hooray!) and isn't quite up to celebrating yet so we have postponed our usual family get together and BBQ until she can enjoy it with us. She has a long list of favorite foods she is looking forward to and I've promised her I will prepare all of it and more, whatever she wants. We are looking forward to seeing her well again.
For my card today I stamped the sentiment, masked it then stamped over it with a Seaside Stampin’ Ink stamp called C# Minor. I pieced the star then layered it. I tucked a little silver curling ribbon under the star and some homemade baker’s twine to finish.
Thanks for stopping by.
Have An Amazing Day
Blessings

I hope this finds you well and enjoying beautiful summer weather. It is HOT here today so I was out in the garden at 5:30 this morning, fighting the good fight against the weeks. I think they are winning. It is supposed to cool down in a few days so we are looking forward to that.
I am deep into a major reorganization of my craft closet and at the moment can’t even find the top of my work table so no new card today.
“Cheap Trick” Make your own Baker’s Twine. I found this video on you tube and just had to share it.

Isn’t that a great idea! I can’t afford to buy all the colors of bakers twine and if I could I’d have to find space in my tiny closet to store it. Besides, I doubt I would use enough of it to warrant the expense anyway. Now I can make just what I need with minimal expense and no storage concerns.
Tomorrow is National Pink Day! What fun! I think I’ll wear pink, have a pink lemonade and of course click on the pink button on my side bar.
Thanks for stopping by.
Have an Amazing Day!
Blessings Bernie
