So, I rolled it up for another day and that was at least a month ago. Today my daughter asked me if it was done and I told her that I would work on it...well, it's done. And the best part, my daughter said she really likes it!

Recently I've decided that I need to work on layouts again since I have probably a zillion photos to scrap and I need to use up some of my stash so that I can buy more. Yes, my name is Jeanne and I'm a paper hoarder. The say the first step to recovery is to admit that you have a problem! Ok, I'm going to tell you a little secret...shhhh! I hoard fabric too! Hee, hee. I've had the fabric problem longer than the paper problem!! I just love designs, texture and color; is that SO bad??<div><br></div><div>Anyway, here are a couple of new layouts, sans photos!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqIRdgq4gUGAZL-1u_VhiDDU8EogMWeKDU8vFzZ8D_zRjWDoRN70do3anoT-3RaAwueNdmy6akVCQmrCxcb1C5U6o9S8HH0iDMrAlDudCQC2tWwM6xbHDRN0olAwLq2AgO0mF6-v5UQlc/s640/blogger-image-745516355.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqIRdgq4gUGAZL-1u_VhiDDU8EogMWeKDU8vFzZ8D_zRjWDoRN70do3anoT-3RaAwueNdmy6akVCQmrCxcb1C5U6o9S8HH0iDMrAlDudCQC2tWwM6xbHDRN0olAwLq2AgO0mF6-v5UQlc/s640/blogger-image-745516355.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5zywwXWTtmhmx4GNQ-ry4Co2lTqzrM-7fshnRhDsiSZhb9mekwIMfogoF7OQ8e9UGzRuDeNQcmiLKDYcohvNrTXI-WOuXvqknzTuZ5rpSPsfj7tAqH0l7mUyQgFgzGaqxMKPdMXlbaL4/s640/blogger-image-1958406501.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5zywwXWTtmhmx4GNQ-ry4Co2lTqzrM-7fshnRhDsiSZhb9mekwIMfogoF7OQ8e9UGzRuDeNQcmiLKDYcohvNrTXI-WOuXvqknzTuZ5rpSPsfj7tAqH0l7mUyQgFgzGaqxMKPdMXlbaL4/s640/blogger-image-1958406501.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This second one is for my 7 year old ballerina!

She has a favorite quote by Mary Oliver that she wants to hang up in her room. She printed the quote off the internet and then asked me to make a "poster" for her room.

Well, it really was pretty easy to put together and the tote is large enough to carry lots of goodies around with me. Perfect timing too! I am headed to a paper crafting show with a friend this weekend. Guess I will have to fill it up when I'm there!<br />
<div>

I actually made 3; one for me, one for my friend because she is such a sweetheart, and one for another special person, but that's a surprise....shhh! Don't tell...</div>

The fabric on the bottom is sewn tocreate 4 pockets around the perimeter of the tote. (Sorry about the quality of the photo). If you're looking for a tote pattern like this, I found it, along with a couple others, on Loralie Designs. Check out her beautiful fabric while you're there too; she's quite a talented lady.</div>

Well, I've been doing a little sewing lately, some good projects, some not so great. I thought I would make a cute, easy little skirt for my 7 year old, and well, let's just say it was a good learning experience. Then, I decided to try again with a different kind if fabric and another learning experience was born....hee, hee! I will go back to the skirts and recreate them at some point into "wearable" items, but for now they have been set aside...<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">But right now, I am working on a burlap tote that will have an artsy side pocket. I purchased this really cool new Stencil that I just had to try out right away. This new stencil has 2 face images and both are so cool. Here's a shot of what will be the pocket:</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs4I70RgPKK2kbxYJ9dHtO_UL1RPai0gAi3W8H2DO2b23Ga3V8mTxN6Zlu5xcJLjlOxU1gyxMbC18PkTzAe5TUosWREI2MyL4IzvCQl1Ja8XgVfCYENxLNK6fhXnOzK8kVM-l5fKD-Rww/s640/blogger-image-1302358657.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs4I70RgPKK2kbxYJ9dHtO_UL1RPai0gAi3W8H2DO2b23Ga3V8mTxN6Zlu5xcJLjlOxU1gyxMbC18PkTzAe5TUosWREI2MyL4IzvCQl1Ja8XgVfCYENxLNK6fhXnOzK8kVM-l5fKD-Rww/s640/blogger-image-1302358657.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Isn't this so cool???
