I normally ignore projects that involve sewing, but this is super cute AND easy enough for a non-sewer like me! Thanks for the idea!

How cute is that? It would also look great framed! I might have to borrow this idea!

P.S. I just wanted you to know that you’ve inspired me to start a blog…hoping to join you and your blogging buddies at one of your conferences someday! First I have to get my feet wet and see where this blogging thing takes me! Thanks for the encouragement!

I love all of your stiched cards! I am going to all of the old post and make three of each. I will buy three little frames that I can exchange each of the cards acorrding to the season. Pretty inexpensive decoration and very cute.
