I've been blessed with TLC and TTT!

I've been making cards for what seems like forever, but the blogging world was alien to me until just last December.  I started out with the Maggie's, found the Dragons, Ran across the Diva's, fluttered by the Whiskers, stopped in on Sunday for a Sentiment ...  and now ... I get to collect and cherish Tips of the trade on Tuesdays too!  It's a whirlwind and I'm so excited!  I feel like I've won the lottery! :)

I was just elated to hear from the Top Tip Tuesdays DT call.  They have invited me to join their talented crafters for inspiration, tutorials and challenges!  I'm so pleased because this is going to be the little flame under my tail to get going on the tutorials and I plan to learn and share so much more with the tips from all the challenge players too!  Goal 4 for this year is done!

No specific card ready today, but I wanted to share some of my craft sale images to celebrate this DT placement!  These photos are from my craft sale in May, very good results!  The paper crafting world is providing me with the opportunity to be home when my autistic child needs me as well as a great deal of joy!

I'm playing with my photo editor too!  Blurred edges, hmm not sure if I like it?

Now I need to . . .  get published, get on a Christmas DT for building that specific inventory, add three more craft sales to my calendar, and get my 5th retail store buying my inventory! 

image sharpener is my new best friend!

The blemish cream is good too!

Also own every Copic color marker, refill and maybe certification! Oh what a happy day that will be!

Thank you Leanne, Carol and Samantha for such a great opportunity!  I can't wait to get started!
