On Friday I had lunch with former co-workers. I always realize how much I miss them when we get together...it's often quite a span of time in between meetings but we catch up without any hesitations...that's friendship. As an added bonus to my day, I went shopping afterwards.
There aren't many local crafts stores around here...Yes, I'm a fan of Impress, but really, it's a stamp shop. There is M's & J's but I don't tend to go there for paper...I go to Ben Franklin! I'm proud to announce that I basically stayed within my 'allowance' I gave myself.
One of the new collections I picked up was Fancy Pants Designs, True Friend.
I gotta tell you that the color palette and the sweet woodland creatures makes it one FABulous collection.
See those sentiment panels? They are MAMBI Pocket Pages Journaling Cards {Thanks Kimberly!}. I carefully sliced & arranged them on my card base.
Since I picked up the True Friend Ephemera package, I actually had quite a number of choices for embellishments but I decided to go with the stacked leaves...I'm going to tuck this away in the airplane for Darin to find:)
I was inspired by
My friend and I have made it a tradition to meet up at the local Farmers Market in September. Everytime I go, I always wonder why I don't go more often! We met up yesterday and of course, I thought that same thing. Only to find out that they have one more Saturday!
Here are a couple pictures I was able to snap, I made the mistake of forgetting my shopping bag so things were shoved in my purse and my hands were full:
mini donuts
sunflowers!
dahlias
Cranberry Romano Shelling Beans
(aren't they cool looking?!)
So much fun, and yes, I hope to go back next Saturday and drag my Momma and boy along!
