Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Raga's turn to host our AddictedtoCAS challenge this week. Her code word was another perfect excuse for me to ink up another of the fun sets from My Favorite Things called Birthday Herd. Here's a little sneak peek: In contrast to last night's party animal for FestiveFriday - this little guy has a green polka dot hat on! So, here is Raga's code word for our final challenge this year. I generally make my design team cards many weeks in advance and it was only when I was loading up my blog post tonight that... Read more →

I love a good farmer's market with just out of the garden goodies and sharing stories and getting tips from the people who grow the food.
