My 300th Post

I'm so happy to be posting my 300th blog entry! I love blogging, sharing my artwork and reading the blogs of other artists and friends! What a wonderful community we bloggers have!


Today I finished up the little tote bags I was working on in my last post. After filling them with granola bars, toothbrush, toothpaste and a toy, I packed them up and brought them to the post office, just before a series of snow squalls hit our area. They will eventually find their way to children in Haiti, so it was a privilege to decorate them.


The border trim came from some great Laurel Burch fabric I had squirreled away, and don't you love these soft flower buttons? I found them at JoAnn's Fabrics. It was fun to work with such bright colors for a change.
