Hey!

This wasn't on my list?! But then, neither was calling around Monday night for a sub for preschool on Tuesday. The card didn't turn out like I wanted, but it's fine. The stitching on that oak leaf is WAY too heavy, but I made a mess the first time, and my thinking is, if you stitch in the wrong place, make it look like you meant to do that. So I did. My freemotion scribble needs some practice.

The ribbon at the bottom is two layers - eggshell grosgrain that's stamped with my sincerest appreciation, covered with wire ribbon - not wired, it's actually woven wire. Cool stuff. The leaves are silk torn off the $2.99 stems that I got for much less than that at Michael's on Sunday. The whole thing is much more sparkley in person - I had to turn off the flash so the letters would show through the wire.

Tomorrow I'm skipping out after dropping the boyfriend at preschool and meeting Karen for pie. She's driving WAY fartherthan I am, but I don't think she minds. I'm giving her a little something she's been coveting. I'll snap a pic tomorrow before I load it in the van.
