Hello, gorgeous!

We’ve wrapped up what has been a wonderful week, with Betsy and her family.  I’ll share a few pictures in a bit, but I wanted to tell you about a few upcoming workshops, that still have space available.

You can check out all of our workshops Here!

Our Vintage Window Workshop, August 3rd

Or how about the ever-popular Decoupaged Custom Tennies workshop, taught by Dori, on Saturday, 8/17 & Sunday, 8/18!

Check out these adorable children’s shoes, a creative grandma made, during our last workshop!

There’s lots more workshops to be learn about online. Just click here!

I learn so much, from so many, on the Iron Orchid Designs “Creative Tribe” Facebook page.  You might want to take a peek, if you want some inspiration, using their new Summer Collection.

I found this creation online, by Desiree Johnson, that I just love!

She used I.O.D.’s Wreath Builder stamp, $26.99, the new 8-page Rose Botanicals Transfer, $38.99, to embellish the beautiful heart shape.  I almost forgot…once painted, she stamped the background with the wonderful Barnwood Plank stamp.  $38.99.

Don’t forget,  free shipping, on all I.O.D. & Fusion orders, over $50.00.

Time flies when you’re having fun and I hated seeing family drive off, for the airport.  So glad they could come though!

This was my favorite photo of the teenagers on a tubing ride.

Our neighbors kindly shared their water sofa with us. 🙂

We had a couple of mornings with super smooth water, to enjoy!

Before heading home, Bob got this shot of the clouds coming in, with rain and thunder following. Good timing!

Well, there you have it.  I’ve got a To-Do list a mile long, for the week ahead and I look forward to getting back to the shop and playing with all the new I.O.D. Summer Collection!  We just placed a reorder, because it’s all been pretty popular!  I’d love to see what you’ve had a chance to create, so please share!

Don’t forget about our new shop hours…

I can’t say my goodbyes, before I say thank you to our amazing Shop Sisters! I’m incredibly lucky to have a team, that allows me to take time off and get away! Cheryl, Linda and Darlene, you’re the best!
