some of what I've been doing

Good morning lovelies! I hope everyone had a great start to this rainy week (at least here on the east coast it's raining buckets!) Here's some pictures of just a few of the projects I've been working on recently. I was hoping to continue the house tours this morning, but it is too dark to take pictures. Oh, well maybe tomorrow!

I know I promised to tell you more about Scoutie's Girls 52 weeks of blogging your passion today, but I think we could all use a break on this dreary rainy day.  I'll be here tomorrow to fill you in on what I have been learning.  Until then, I leave you with this cheerful new paper cut design :
