Hi There Everyone

Sorry I haven't been posting for a long time due to my summer vacation upstate. After we closed the house down, we went to Hawaii for 16 days with some friends. Now I'm trying to get ready for a big fair I have coming up next week. I promise after that I will start making some cards again and posting them.

Hope you all had a great Summer.

SUMMER VACATION

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I haven't posted in a long while, but I have been upstate N.Y. at my summer house for most of the summer. I'm back and forth every few weeks. I haven't had a chance to make any cards, since I don't have any of my supplies up there and when I come home I'm only home for about two days and there isn't enough time. I probably won't be posting any cards until September. I have been enjoying my golf games though,LOL.

Hope you all have a nice summer. Enjoy, Anne
