Stamping Get together

Had a wonderful stamping get together with my dear friends Diane and Shirley

Friday and wanted to share out projects with you.

 

 

Is this not a lovely collection of cards and projects?  We each bring a couple cards

with most everything cut and ready to go in packets so we can accomplish

a lot and have plenty of time to chat, snack and enjoy our time

together.  With work and not living close we don't get to do this

often, when we do it is a wonderful time!  Thanks Diane for hosting us!
