Milestone Birthday Crafting

Experience is not what happens to you;
it's what you do with what happens to you.

Chrisy and I have shared a lifetime of memories.
Our lives have often run parallel.

Along the way, we have shared it all
including this year's milestone birthday
only five days apart.

I drew and stitched shared happy memories.
This is Amy Powers' grid design ready for your
own happy memories.

First Sunday in Advent

The tradition of counting down to Christmas.
Only 25 more days. 

Our little advent calendar, finished last night
just in a Nick of  time.
This was another assignment from
Amy Powers' Craft Happy,
online Big Picture Classes.

Crafting with Amy Power's Big Picture Class

This assignment was intended to reflect my style. 
The scotty dog comes from my mother's button collection.
The repeated four represents my four children.
Tulips, Mr. Lee's dutch heritage.
There is a bit of edgy and conservative.
Handmade and vintage.
