Hello Friends!
Hope you are all having a lovely summer.
It's starting to really warm up here, and last night
we had an almost warm summer night.
Something you may not know about Southern California
is that we rarely have warm summer nights.
We have to have the braziers going if we want to stay out after dark.
But right now it is so worth it, because we have just planted a
night-blooming jasmine and its wonderful fragrance just fills the air!
I've been busy making more pincushions for my friends
at the Marie Antoinette Mail Art group.

I've been busy making more pincushions for my friends
at the Marie Antoinette Mail Art group.
and mixing in some vintage lace, buttons and handkerchiefs with newer trims.
And I made this "coin envelope" mini-book
for another swap in the MAMA group.
This is the top view.
I bought my envelopes from Paper Source, because I liked the color,
but you could also use the manila ones from the office supply stores.
I then sent them through my Vagabond die cut machine
Oh, how I love crinkled seam binding :)
On to this week's freebies, some lovely flowergirls:

Love those pincushions and that tag book is spectacular Lorraine!
