April's Creative Corner

Happy President's Day everyone. I have today and tomorrow off, and have done pretty much nothing today. I guess I can start by re-capping the past few days.

Valentine's day was spent waking up at 5:30am so that I could be at my mom's house by 6:30. We headed over to Jane's, picked her up and headed to a farmers market in downtown Phoenix. It was....eh. I did pick up some good tortillas though! We were really looking forward to going to a flea market in Scottsdale, so when we get there..........there was no swap meet. I am not sure if we were given the wrong info, but I was a little disappointed. We ended up stopping at Frenzy Stamper and I picked up some coils, stamps, decorative tape and color wash. We headed back to the west side and stopped at 35Th Sew and Vac. This place has some of the most gorgeous fabric, and they had TONS of Wizard of Oz fabric too! We then stopped at Joann's and my mom and I stocked up on thread and floss since it was half off. We dropped Jane off, I dropped my mom off, and I napped for a bit.

We don't really do much on Valentine's day, but Darrin did get me a nice bouquet of roses and a card. I stopped at Panda Express and got us dinner, and we made fondue for dessert:



These are the black and white Rolodex cards I received back in my swap:

And this page is for a swap coming up:


Once we do the swap, I'll announce which one it's for, but for now I want to try and keep it a surprise. Although I am sure that Jane and my mom will know which swap this is for!

Tonight we are ordering pizza and baking some buffalo wings, and I'll be doing some homework.
