Two Tags die pouch!

Happy Monday!!
It has been a long morning here already.  Brody woke up at 5:30 crying & I couldn't console him.  We just sat & rocked & he finally fell back to sleep about 7:00.  He is now awake & his happy self!!  So glad!!  Drake just woke up at 8:00 & he is very happy too. 

Here is a cute little Two Tags die pouch that I made for my downline meeting on Saturday.  I saw a similar one someplace & tweaked it.  I just can't get enough of this little mummy guy from the 'Googly Ghouls' set.  I've used him tons & think he is so cute!   I love the way you can layer the scallop circle punch right on the edge of the tag die.

Yesterday Becky & Cheryl had a combined workshop.  Oh my gosh!  It was the bomb!!  What a fun day of stamping with lots of ladies!!!  They chose to celebrate Johnny Appleseed's birthday as their theme for their party!  (Plus it is Becky's BD month too- so we had LOTS to celebrate!)  They were too creative with lots of yummy apple things- apple cake, apple turnovers, apple slices with dips, apple juice, etc.   I sure enjoyed my afternoon & think everyone else did too.  We had a couple new friends join us & I think we've got them hooked & they will be stamping with us again sometime soon.  

Here is Becky's Apple Cake recipe.  It is yummy!!  You'll love it!
