This is a fun and happy collection of papers to work with during these dark and dreary days! TAC is featuring the Tutti Frutti Kit & Kaboodle until Dec 31. I played with it last week for a while and really enjoyed it. I made this quick and easy 6" mini album without any stamps .... yes it is possible!! Here are the directions so you can make one too!

4. Fold the 4 1/2 x 6" CS in half, crease, open & fold both ends to the center fold & crease.

I when to my angel friend, Velda, home last night and demoed for her Paper Dolls group. It was great meeting such crafty and wonderful woman! I enjoyed good food, beverages (Dandelion wine), fellowship, crafting, brain storming and laughs with them. Velda and I were able to spend more time together the next morning shopping and I had a wonderful time. Be sure you gift yourself to the gift of time with friends during this busy season! Blessings
