Maybe I should buy him a real bone?

flash-and-the-bone-folderLast night, I found my dog chewing on one of my brand new bone folders! I didn't have the heart to tell him it's not a real bone, I was laughing too hard. I guess I should be him more real bones huh? But was he trying to tell me that he wanted a bone? Or that he wanted to stamp?

Breast Cancer Fundraiser Card Kits

It was an amazing day, event and all for a great cause. I have left over make and take packets from the event, and we thought it would be great to offer the packets and donate all of the money back to Making Strides Against Breast cancer. Hurry these kits are limited, only available thru Nov 7 or while supplies last.

Cindy’s amazing Halloween Quilt

cindy-halloween-quiltWhen we were at the Founders Circle retreat last month, my friend Cindy Peterson made this quilt one night! Seriously, in one night (no she didn't sleep at all lol). With the help of our friend, Susan Adams, they created this stinkin' awesome Halloween quilt. Susan had created that super cute Witches Boot treat holder from the video I posted last week. They used the same idea with the Holiday Stocking Die & 3-1/2 Inch Circle dies to create the Witches boot on the quilt. Those two may have been animals making this quilt in one night, but it really shows how awesome the Big Shot and it's dies are for quilting!
