Time to say goodbye......

I am leaving my cherished United Methodist Women sisters next month.  My husband and I purchased a home near our son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters.  It's time to me to be a full-time grandma.

I leave behind many friends and as a thank you for their friendship, I created a bookmark for all of them.

If the sizes vary greatly, small adjustments are needed for the black and patterned paper.

The tassel is homemade, I used DMC 5 100% Cotton embroidery thread. DMC's cross stitch thread is too thin. Stampin' Up!'s baker's twine would definitely work as well as crochet thread. I lost my original instructions on how to make tassels.  I used this VIDEO but modified it; practice, practice, practice.

Blendabilities - Who Knew

I don't color well.  I mean, my coloring is ALWAYS lousy.  That is until Stampin' Blendabilities came on the market.  There are so many great YouTube videos that show you how, step, by step.  My FAVORITE how to is not on YouTube; I discovered a handy guide created by Kaitlyn.  Click HERE for the link to that guide.
