Week 35

This time last year I was with a craft group of ladies that met every Wednesday night, & I started a blog to journal & record our projects. It was my first ever blogging experience. Clearly it didn't take long until I caught the blogger bug & had to start one of my own. These photos were intended for the craft blog but we threw in the towel before I ever got a chance to post them... thank goodness for Flashback Friday to revive a great project for this time of year!

The lovely Emma taught me how to make my own holiday paper (& also modeled for all these photos. Oww oww!)

Step 1 - Pulp

Step 2 - Scoop

Step 3 - Smush

Step 4 - Pretty (hey, remember when I was brunette?)

100th Comment!

Ladies & Gents, we have a winner!

Last week I got this message from my friend Emma in response to my giveaway...

Is is possible to have a similar but different deal called "purchase Lauren's amazing cards outside any sort of contest cause Emma never wins contests and would just like those cards please"? Cause while it's specific in it's marketing, I would really be on board with it.

Well surprise, surprise.... Emma you won! My 100th comment came yesterday in response to the scrabble blog. It was fun to get participation from both my local friends AND the people I'm meeting out there in blog land. Thanks for playing along, everyone. It always makes my inbox a happier place when there are comments to read from lovely people like YOU!
