Wow ladies. April has come and went soooo quickly and now May is already half done.  We've been so busy getting our place ready to sell I have had absolutely NO SCRAPBOOK TIME let alone blogging time!  Well I found a few minutes to FINALLY complete this months project and get it posted for you guys so here it is. 

This project is $15.00.  Try to bring scissors, sticky strip and regular glue stick if you have it.  Otherwise I will have some there.

Also Stampin Up's new catalogue comes out in June.  The new mini catalogues that sun from May 1, 2010 to August 31, 2010 are in.  For this month and next if you spend $30 in product I will give this years catalogue along with the new catalogue coming out in June and the new mini catalogue FREE.  The catalogues are great books for ideas and inspiration
