I told you today I’d have scrapbook pages to show off! Here are two pages from our morning at Blarney Castle. There will be at least two more. We had so much fun there and took a ton of pictures! The foam shamrocks will have to be used on some future page… It’s not my best work, but after this …
Iris Folding
Sorry for the late post today. I went up to the city to meet some old friends for dinner, and didn’t get my pictures edited before I left. Eating is a hobby too, though, right?

My Mom Will Hate This

The original was made from circles cut out of Christmas cards, was about twice the size of this, and was, to be perfectly honest, ugly as sin. Projects completed in a 50 minute art period …
