Making Kristy's Mini Book at Prime Life

Today my Prime Life Scrapbooking class ladies got a REAL treat! We usually do a page related to themselves in a class that I teach, entitled "My Life". At last week's Crop that she hosted, Kristy donated lots of mini books for me to use for my ladies...how kind and wonderful! Today there were only 4 ladies, so each lady got enough mini books to complete for each of her children! What a great Mothers' Day treat! Thanks to Kristy for her generosity!!! My ladies took home wonderful family gifts, thanks to you !!!

May Day Historical Society favors.......here they are at the Tea! So sweet, stuffed with little pastel flower-shaped sugar cubes...

A Very Special Crop !

Last Saturday, I attended Kristy's regular monthly Crop at the Jameson Hotel in Carmel. After many months and many crops, Baby Dane Finley Taylor was finally born 6 weeks ago. For those of you who haven't seen him yet, here he is at the Crop with Kristy. He was so good, and we all got to hold him!!! Daddy picked him up later in the day so that Mama Kristy could get some Mommy cropping time in. For those of us who attend Kristy's Crops, it will be fun to watch him grow!!! Congratulations to Mom and Dad and Big Brother, Myles and Big Sister, Elliot.

Almost Completed May Day Party Favors!

Another day at Cord Camera today! Janet and I began the process of tying the little ribbon handles onto our May Day Tea Favors......after punching out 480 little holes, that is !!!). We both brought some home to work on tonight, since now everything is coordinated and ready to add that finishing touch. Tomorrow another "crew" will insert the little floral sugar cubes into our cones, tucked inside tuille and tied with a whispy barely seen white ribbon...(so as not to conflict with the color schemes of our ribbons). Lots of planning...lots of labor...but very easy and LOTS OF FUN!!! Janet loved the project so much that she plans to make 50 or so for an upcoming Church event. I just love it when a project is so successful that someone else repeats it!!! Debbie Dutchess started all of this when she taught us how to make the little Valentines Day cone with the Big Shot....Thanks Debbie! Sharing ideas is so great! I'm not attending the Tea on Friday, but I'm sure that someone will get photos of our favors sitting atop the beautiful plate chargers at Serendipity. I'll post the finished product photos when i get some !!! Thanks to all who inspired me and who helped me accomplish this project! I'd do it again in a heartbeat !!!
