Sneak Peek

For the last month I have been working on a gift for team members.  I try every year to make something special for the people in my first downline and my directors who attend convention.  Attending convention is a big thing for many reasons, one of them being it is costly to attend.  We learn a lot while we are there and get the opportunity to renew old friendships and start new ones.  I know some of the people attending are giving up something else to attend and I appreciate all their efforts thru the year to make that happen.  I have made several different things over the years but last year and this year I made Scrapbook Mini Albums for them.  I make these from scratch and put a little bit of me in everyone I make. This year there were 24 albums to be awarded at convention. Here is a sneak peek just for you.  The rest of the album will post on Wednesday, the day they receive them from me.

Come back and visit again to see the inside and some of details on this album.

Hummingbird Growing

It's hard to believe that this is the baby.  Can't believe how fast it grew.  It won't be long before it is leaving the nest.  It has been a wonderful experience watching, worrying and learning about Hummingbirds and their babies.  I am going to miss him/her when it's gone.

We have a Hummingbird nest right outside my office door.  Took a peek yesterday and there is a baby and an egg in there.  Not sure if it is another egg to hatch or the baby came from there.  After watching Phoebe Allens webcam for years this is such a treat.  Of course, we are trying not to disturb her as much as possible but she choose a spot on the patio in my potted plant.  Will take another peek in a few days to see if we have another baby or not!

Basket with Cards

This fun basket was made with Ivy Lane Papers from Close To My Heart, another one of my favorite collections from our current catalog.  This fabulous papers will be available thru July 31st, so if you want them don't wait to order.
