A Quick Post, a Blog Hop & a Purse

Hello Friends! It’s been a hectic past week & a busy weekend for me, as I had the baby Divas (my granddaughters), my 2 daughters, my son, a Momma Bunny & her 3 babies – AND- Scott for 5 days! Call it a family reunion of sorts… one big happy family!

Alas, not much time for crafting or blogging. But, here’s a little something I created not too long ago, just for fun. I love purses! I probably have a purse to match every outfit in my closet, with just as many pairs of shoes too! (Um, just call me Imelda! LOL!)

It's very convenient for me to have the pieces already punched too. Then, whenever I get bored or often while I watch TV, I "form" the flowers & store them away so that they're ready when I need them. This is my box o

It has a little bit of everything: Stamping, stitching, handmade flowers ( you know me & my handmade flowers!), border punches, and a pretty butterfly. I wanted to try making a new flower. The larger flower was created using an apple, star & daisy punches. Each of the flower centers have a touch of bling by Viva Decor glitter pen in "Hologram." The butterfly was cut from a Nesties die. I blinged up each layer with stickles & hit with 2 coats of Crystal Effects. I used Kaiser Craft pearls in "Bliss" for the body & coiled some
