Happy Monday to everyone!
Thank you to everyone who sent pictures last week to share while I was visiting with Rebecca and Karn. Thanks also to how you all chatted with each other. We had a reallly nice time but they left Sunday morning. Their visits are never long enough to suit me.
She likes going to thrift shops to find things to resell so that’s mostly what we did. She found quite a few things and was pretty happy. She also brought a bag of alterations for me. This time there were knly a few things that were tricky alterations… most of them were needing buttons sewn on and she didn’t have the right color thread.
We had Christmas between the 4 of us and then again between them and Kristoffer when he came over. My hubby and I received some gift cards from them but let me show you what was my favorite.
I had bought a package of business card blanks a long time ago at a thrift shop and always wanted to print some out but I’m not very experienced or confident enough to figure it out, so I never used them.
Enter Rebecca! She is VERY good at this kind of thing so when I showed her yhe packet she said she’d give it a shot. She made business cards for me that turned out beautifully! The first try cut off the bottom of the writing on the card, but Rebecca said they could be partially saved… so we made a few hang tags out of them.
The second try was perfect. I was giddy looking at them!!
Then she said, “Let’s try something else…” so she created a different layout.
I loved these! They looked so dainty and girlie!!
I was so happy by now, I pulled out another packet I had gotten at the thrift shop… this packet was solid sheets of a linen-like fabric you could print on and then iron onto whatever you wanted. We decided to make tiny labels to iron on the inside of my doll dresses.
This is everything she designed and made for me…
Aren’t they wonderful??? I think so too!
Now let me show you a few more things I received this week…
The first one is this pretty brunette wig I got for Mae…I think the darker color really looks pretty on her.
Isn’t the color pretty on her?
Here are a few other things I found at a thrift shop we were at… there were a couple of these kits for making purses. I got 2 of them just for the gold frame to use for American Girl doll purses.
Then at the same place I rescued this Wellie Wishers American Girl doll. Her name is Ashlyn.
Ashlyn was naked except for her boots…
Well, that will have to be it for now… I have another wonderful thing happening this week too. My sister and their hubby’s and my brother are coming! We have a Memorial service for my cousin to attend. I can’t wait for us all to be together!!
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
