oh how there are things happening. :]

I'm being featured over at Scrapmojo right now! I love that they asked me to be their guest designer this month!

I was so thrilled and it was a ton of fun designing for them! Get on over there and check out their latest challenge using scraps you find around the house and SQUARES!!!!

ALso, apparently I had an item featured on the etsy front page the other day too and had NO idea. I wish I would have been able to get a screen shot, but I wasn't able to. One of my sweet readers let me know about it! Thank you! It was my Teepee Tray that got the lime light. Thank you etsy!
