My Son's surgery and other happenings...

Sorry I haven't posted in quite some time, but my son Bif has been in the hospital having surgery!

                              He's a trooper!  Managed half a smile even though he was hurting.

This was the day before yesterday...Happy to say, now he is home resting comfortably!  Yay!

Bloggers, I hope to be back in the swing of things very soon!  Don't give up on me!
love, ReNae

And the winner is...

Congratulations to SarahMW who correctly guessed that the mini album was made from toilet paper rolls!  Yes folks, you read it right!  TOILET PAPER ROLLS! We had several correct guesses, so I selected the winner using Random.org.  True Random Number Generator
SarahMW please send me an email to jewelrymkr@gmail.com with your address so that I can mail you your prize!  
I will be posting a tutorial on how I made my pretty toilet paper mini album on Tuesday.
If you want to make one start saving your rolls!  You will need at least 3 for a small album, but you can use up to 6 for one like the one I made.  You will also be using acrylic paint, (I used Adirondack paint dabbers in Pink Sherbet, Raspberry and Juniper) cardstock (I used Melissa Frances), your choice of bling, and any other embellishments that will go with the theme of your album, including ribbon, trim, small prima flowers, large Recollections flowers, glimmer mist, and Melissa Frances resin Vintage Embellishments.  In addition, I used the Martha Stewart butterfly punch, and Girls Paperie Vintage Whimsey Sticker Market for images and the word stickers.

Thanks for your comments, and if you like my blog, or have any suggestions or requests, please leave a comment!  Have a great week!
