Happy Birthday to my mom!  Today we are heading out to lunch and maybe a visit to one of our favorite stores in Medina, Perfectly Charming.
Recently while checking out some blogs I came across this blog that had so many wonderful ideas.  One that really caught my eye was the bag envelope. Taking an envelope and with some scoring you create a bag.  Simple, yet so clever I had to try.
With both...

Finally back to my old computer and using windows live writer.  I have so much more control with the post using this program and I love it.
