I have received so many awesome creations from my friends, yet I have been remiss in posting pictures of them. Today I would like to share three of them with you. Let’s start with this fabulous cross-stitched beauty sent to me by my friend, Nancy E. It reigns over the dining room table, a source of inspiration while I stamp. Nancy, you are so talented! Thank you so much for thinking of me!
And how about this amazing card created by Shirley Pumpkin. Shirley…YOU ROCK…and so do your adorable owls! Please be sure to stop by Shirley’s blog and check those owls out! Thank you so much Shirley. Your card is now framed and lives in my living room!
And for our last little treat today, how about this customized necklace created by Kaye Teronde at Stamping with Kaye. You can imagine my surprise when Kaye found me at Convention and handed me my very own Stampin’ Schach charm. Thank you so much, Kaye! I truly treasure this!
Speaking of treasures, several of you have emailed me and asked for more pictures of two of my favorite treasures, the Twins. Well, here are two that I took last night. They really do not look like brother and sister, but they certainly are!

How special to see my cross stitch on your blog. I feel honored. The Stampin’ Schach pendant really takes the cake though. You do inspire a lot of us in our creative journey.
What lovely creations!! I wish I still had the eyesight to do cross stitch. I enjoyed it so much. But, I’m thankful I found this card making hobby to take the place of all my various sewing endeavors.
What great gifts you have received! Your very own charm! Love the photos of the twins – I am totally in love with Brody’s profile! Muffy is so pretty and stately – with her white on her! A total diva! It will be fun to see Lexi when she is all grown up and compare her to the twins.

Very nice cards from your fans… you must have buschels full! I really don’t know how you gals keep up with all the ‘fan mail’ either. I get in spirts where I don’t even look at my PC for days. You are so amazing and devoted, it’s no wonder you have a zillion followers. Their cards are So pretty. and then are the twins just looking mighty fine and I’m sure they look after their baby sister too.
Have a wonderful day! hugs.

Awww, thanks for the pictures of the twins. They are beautiful! Love the cards you post on your blog, but equally love seeing pictures of your “babies.” ๐ Have a great day!
What a lovely cross-stitch creation you received. I love to cross-stitch although I don’t find enough time for it. Just wanted to mention I always love hearing about the twins and Lexi. Your photos are always great. They always put a smile on my face.
