April Showers Bring May Flowers

Today’s project is a bit of a continuation of the theme from Saturday’s Kit & Crop. Participants in the Kit & Crop created 4 beautiful note cards with the Flowering Rain Boots Bundle and the Flowering Fields DSP. I’ve decided to use the same products to create a seed packet holder. I plan to use all the patterns of this gorgeous paper and mass produce lots of seed packet holders to send as thank you gifts.

I have so much thanks to give! The last week has been full and interesting. Through it all you have given me amazing support, encouragement, and love.

I started last week with surgery to remove a parathyroid gland. Surgery went well. Recovery is going well, just slowly. Because of the location of the incision and procedure, swallowing and talking have been challenging. It’s a little easier every day. Thank you for your comments, cards, texts, and support.

I rested for most of the week while registration for a few events continued. The FREE shipping offer from Stampin’ Up! was well timed and allowed my customers to double dip and earn a FREE card kit to Thursday’s Cactus Cuties class and FREE Shipping. What a win!

Hope and Michele’s Kit & Crop all day event was Saturday and fun was had by all. I even remembered to take a few photos. Save the date for the next adventure – a fancy tea party on June 18th.

The YouTube Live

Thank you for watching live and commenting to help me create. I’m making several of these seed packet holders to send as thank you gifts this month. During the live broadcast I stamped the watering can in Smoky Slate. After the video ended i stamped 2 in Basic Gray and decided I like them better. I hope you will give this recipe a try ande share photos. There are so many gorgeous papers and color combinations to try.

What’s up next?

This week is a week of catching up and preparing for next week. The new Annual Catalog is LIVE next week?! I plan to share a live video each day, Monday through Friday next week offering glimpses of the papers, stampsets, and bundles. I can’t wait!

Registration ended on Saturday for the Making A Difference for Ukraine event that Jeanne Neilsen, Judy Tuttle, and I offered. You helped us raise over $400! We will be getting your kits prepped and ready this week. Don’t forget our zoom next Thursday, May 5.

I hope to see you Wednesday morning at 9 am CST on Facebook live here for some fun with masks.

The recipes and supply lists are below. Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy Stamping.
