I am so sorry that I didn’t get this done earlier………you know how it goes when you think you will get lots done, and sometimes it just doesn’t happen. I ended up having to run around a little bit this afternoon (in the 104 heat!!!) looking for a one piece swimsuit for church camp. Just for clarification, this was not a one piece for ME………it was for the girls! They are a little “scarce” in the stores and the popular 2 piece Tankinis are all we can seem to find. However, we found out yesterday that we can’t wear Tankinis at all, no matter how long or conservative the top portion is. Most of you know that I am super conservative, and our Tankinis meet my specifications…….just not the camp rules! So, here we were searching at the last minute and sweating our brains out in the process! We found one at Children’s Place for Sarah that was only $8, so I was happy. Allyson and Lindsey will just have to “make do” with their old ones, I think. We might find something tomorrow, but our time is very limited. Tomorrow is Lindsey’s birthday and we have lots of plans to be together as a family. We also have plans to help Grammy and PawPaw decorate the church for their reception on Sunday. We are having their 50th Wedding Anniversary Reception on Sunday afternoon. It should be a ton of fun. We have alot of out of town company coming — kinda like a big family reunion! More on all that later, but here is another stamp project — the REAL reason to visited the blog (most of you, at least!)………
Top Note Purse Card
This card was found on another blog………not sure exactly where (sorry!) but I decided to CASE it and use it for my class. I just might have to make some swaps for convention with this layout, too. I love the “girly” feel! I used the Bella Rose Paper (already sold out, unfortunately) and the Big Shot Top Note Die to create this little purse. Embellish with some ribbon, a bow and a button for the perfect 3D finish!
Come back for Project #3 — the Criss Cross Box. Have a super weekend!!!! Dawn

You may want to check Sports Authority for competition swimsuits. We had the same problem and I am afraid that if you can’t find one on their clearance rack, you may have to pay retail…Uhg. We did and if nothing else she is going to have a suit for a few years. If you have time, we didn’t, you can still order them from Lands In catalogues. Good luck.

Too cute! I stocked up on the Bella Rose Paper so I can case your case! Thanks for sharing!
