Well, I am back...hopefully. It has been a VERY busy two months. November was particularly crazy. It started with the early arrival of my first child on November 1st. Clint and I welcomed a baby boy named Colton Lee. When I arrived home, the box of goodies that I was hoping to have before Colton was born was on my porch. SU! sent me a box of goodies to use to design for the Leadership display boards. So, I spent most of my spare time in November working on the 20 projects I had to complete. So, needless to say I have been busy.
This was an ordanment I made for my AWESOME upline Heather. We had a fun little surprise Birthday dinner for her in October, and this is what I made for her. Heather really loves handmade gifts, so we all made something for her. I used the pattern found here to create the ornament. After folding over 50 of these flowers for my Artisan cake, I said I would never fold one again, but I am a sucker for punishment. I have two more ready to start on my desk. This was created using Love Letter DSP and Vintage brads. Thanks to Heather for taking a great photo of the ornament, as I did not get one taken!
I am really hoping once I complete my last two ornaments, I will be able to return to my normal posting again. Have a great day!
Yay! Glad to have you back! I look forward to all your new creations :))

Hey Jodie! Been thinking of you - I'm so glad that you're little boy made it safely into the world and that you're all doing well. That's pretty amazing that you did your 20 projects for leadership in your first few weeks of being a new mother! Way to go!
