I am so very excited to be mentioned in the current issue of San Fransisco Brides magazine! Thanks so much, Jen and Paxton!

I’ve always loved handmade things and especially love giving them to the people who appreciate them. Therefore, I made this scarf for my precious Daisy, who I’m pretty sure really appreciates it (since she hasn’t tried to rip it off yet). You may be asking where Fergus’ scarf is. Well, since Daisy’s scarf took about a week, a million bucks in “practice” fabric (translation: screwed it up and had to throw it out), my Fergus will not be getting a scarf this year. I am however, going to attempt a dog bed (which should cost around 10 million bucks.

I love them all. Even though I’m already married, I want them. GORGEOUS! Check out their amazing designs at Fancy New York

So I’m not really a candle person, but I discovered this candle in gift shop here in Virginia a couple of years ago. I’m telling you that it’s simply divine. You must get it. And get it now, before it sells out. Once you smell it, you’ll want the scent to fill your home all year. Get it HERE! I know it seems a little pricey, but I’m telling you it’s worth every penny. And if you really want to treat yourself, get the Kimono Rose body creme, too. It’s wonderful.

My awesome niece, Maddie just sent me this You Tube video. It’s absolutely wonderful. What an incredible effort by the employees of this amazing hospital to raise breast cancer awareness. When the video gets 1 million hits, Medline (the glove manufacturer) will be making a huge contribution to the hospital, AND offering free mammograms for the community!!! Please check it out. It’s an easy and great way to donate to a wonderful cause, and who hasn’t been touched by breast cancer?

I’ve been so busy with invitations lately that I haven’t had much time for making books, but alas, today I made a book! I will be teaching this book in Purcellville on December 19th and again in Reston in February. Please go to my website and see the section titled Paper Crafting Classes for more information!
