Hello friends... sorry I've been absent for a couple of months. I've had a fairly busy spring since my last post. My parents came to stay for a month --- it was SO nice to come home to Mom's healthy cooking every night, and I confess I was spoiled with her food for a good month! Then we were busy with Alekha's school play, and Mom and I (mostly Mom) sewed a pufferfish costume which was a challenge, let me tell you! There are very few pufferfish costume ideas on the net, and believe you me, we looked! The end product turned out nicely though, I'll have to post it on the blog in a bit. Thank goodness for Mothers - I don't know what I'd do without my sweet Mom!
Then my brother-in-law Amit and my adorable new sister-in-law Kara got married the weekend before this last one, so we were out of town for the wedding. I also changed jobs at work so it's been a pretty busy couple of months. Exciting as it's all been, it's nice to have things settle down again so that I can get back to doing what I love - creating and photography.
I post in spurts --- and I have to catch up on sharing a few projects with you, so you'll probably see a good deal of posts from me over the next few days.
Well, today is my 44th birthday (hard to believe I'm 44!) I'm really excited to celebrate it by being a part of this wonderful design challenge:
I can't even tell you how excited I am to be mentioned in the same breath as Heidi, Holly and Maggie! As you may know, 7 Gypsies and Tattered Angels are both now under the umbrella of Canvas Corp, and the marriage of these three brands couldn't be more perfect!
Heidi has hand-selected products from Canvas Corp and 7 Gypsies, along with inks from Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and we'll be combining these with Heidi Swapp products to show you each designer's take on the challenge. I will be representing the 7 Gypsies brand. (You know the gods are smiling on you when you receive a box of product hand-picked by none other than Heidi Swapp!!)
I hope you'll take a minute to visit all the Designers and the manufacturers participating in this blog hop. Holly already has her stunning project posted - you'll be sure to want to visit BOTH Heidi's blog (to see Heidi's own amazing projects which she is GIVING AWAY!!) as well as each designer's blog throughout the rest of the week. My project will be posted on May 31st, and Maggie's project will be posted on June 1st. Heidi will be posting one of our projects and linking to our blogs so you can see the second project we each created.
I'd love it if you'd stop back by on Thursday May 31st to see my post and the projects I created! Heidi has inspired me to give away one of the projects I created as well -- so stop back by on Thursday and leave a comment, I'll draw a name on Sunday, June 3rd.
Hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day and have a great week!
A pufferfish! oh my gosh Ranjini - you have to post it! Sounds like you've had such a great month! I can't wait to see your design challenge project ... and.... yes - you totally belong up there with everybody else!
