Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and the weather was good to you! Terry says the puppies are doing great, still not doing too much yet as they are only a week old and basically just eat and sleep at this point.
Just a couple new tags to share. The first is a rainbow tag that I started working on a couple weeks ago and finally finished this morning. I was not in the crafty mood last week so I didn't get much done but I am back and ready to craft this week.
I cut each little rainbow color out by hand, then attached to cardstock, then cut out and handstitched. The tag background is lightweight chipboard and covered with cloud fabric. I used a silver metalic thread around the clouds and added a little white pom pom trim to the bottom. I wanted to have a colorful bow so I ripped strips of fabric in the same colors as the rainbow, tied and added a button.



I cut out some little felt houses and handstitched and added to a tag with some pretty Melissa Frances papers. The little crochet flowers are from my stash that my friend Jennifer and my stepmom Bonnie made for me. My stepmom is bringing her crochet hook with her when she comes to visit in July to give me a lesson, maybe I'll be able to make my own finally!

And lastly, my new blog buddie Lisa is having a huge giveaway at her blog! Click here to visit and sign up for the huge stash she is giving away! Also, if you can, take a moment to read some of her hilarious posts, I always get a smile and a laugh when I visit her blog as she is an extremely talented writer and storyteller and has a unique way of making every day moments into hilarious stories.
Have a wonderful week!

I love the bright rainbow colors. My Mom always crocheted. It was just something I never could get interested in. One sure can make some beautiful pieces tho.
