Can you tell I have a Vinyl addiction?? Is there a show for this?? I could make some moolah!! lol

Decorated charger plate

This is my attempt at doing an image in vinyl.  Not perfect, but I love it.  Weeding is, let's just say "challenging". (I really want to say the other word, but I will refrain)  Weeding is the process of pulling out all those little pieces of vinyl to form the image. Yeah, fun huh?

Diva Birthday Bucket

I call this one the "Diva Birthday Bucket" although the young lady I made it for is as sweet as she can be.  She is beautiful though and I have known her since her birth 16 years ago.

Circle Mania 2012!!!

Had great fun with some super talented and funny ladies this past weekend at the Circle Mania in Alpharetta, Ga.  The crop was hosted by Paulette Trent aka Scrapalette.  She did a fantastic job!!

We were given goody bags with Circle scarves, stamps, candy, note pads, pens. We got to pick our own door prize when our name was called. My door prize was fabulous!!!  I got two new Cuttlebug folders, beautiful flowers, a head band, chip board and bling!!!  Y'all know I love bling!!

Here are a few pics from the crop, too many for me to comment on, but if you have questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
