The Last Chance Product Lists for the two current catalogs are out! And with every turn-over of Annual Catalogs we lose 5 beloved In Colors. This time I am particularly sad because I love each of the five that are soon to be “extinct!” Yep, overly dramatic! 🥲 But Starry…

Here we are with another Thursday Create With Connie & Mary! Today is a color challenge, and I have to say that because of this color challenge I now can embrace Moody Mauve and Wild Wheat! (I was skeptical!) Our combo is Moody Mauve, Bubble Bath, and Wild Wheat. I…
