ADORE

It's seems only fitting to title this post Adore....

not just because of my latest project

but because I simply adore each and everyone of you

that have supported me and been a part of my life and little business.

Thank you so much!!!

Sometimes it doesn't seem like I can say it enough

and honestly it doesn't seem like enough to say!

This year has been a whirlwind for me!

Most of you know I'm half of "Crafty Sisters"

which honestly as far as blogging goes....comes first.

(Hey I got a sister counting on me!)

Sometimes I think I should just combine the blogs since I

feel like I double post about my projects here.:)

I have been so lucky to meet so many fun and great people

and cultivate the wonderful friendships I've made with so many of you.

Thanks for making my year so fun and for helping Sweet Pickles grow!

(hee hee, silly pun I couldn't help it!)

So.......Thank You!  Thank You Very Much!!!

(yup, that's my hubby on Halloween!)

I'm so excited for Valentines!!!!

Here's my first project/class that will be next weekend

down at Paper Cottage.

I just love the papers here from Echo Park Paper Company!

I also included some fun charms from Doodle Beads.

They have some really cute stuff!

I also wanted to share the love....so to speak....

Here's a couple of pictures I was able to collect this year from

some of my favorite gals!

Cary makes some great stuff!

She had a whole Americana theme going on with these first 3!

 Diana has a cute gift shop in Tennessee that she makes the prettiest stuff for!
Her embroidery is to die for!  Here are some cute sets she made up!

 I did actually manage to get a couple of shots of some of the things

I made up this season and for the boutiques!

A fun sign for a golfer!

   I loved how this Believe set turned out in all reds!

 I loved it so much I did some in green!
(This is the quality of picture I get when I take it last moment!:))

 Had to do something whimsical and loved the ornaments here!

 My sister Candace found some vintage opera sheet music

at a second hand store and together with some gorgeous glitter

these Noel's were made.  The picture doesn't do them justice!

Remember that red Believe?

The papers were so pretty I had to make up some matching banners!

 I found some really cute papers with gingerbread men that I absolutely fell for!

I've got some other pictures to download and post soon!
I hope you all have a wonderful and
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
