I had an amazing birthday weekend! Aaron and I flew down to Atlanta to visit our friends, Mandy and Chris Grant. I met Mandy a year ago during my Founder's Circle trip. It was also her first time to Founder's and we met on the "first timer" bus on the way to Kanab. We've remained good friends and have kept in contact ever since. You'll probably recall a few pictures of us together over the last year posted on my blog.
Mandy surprised me on Friday night when we arrived with these fanatastic gifts. She made each of them and they are amazing! As you know, I LOVE the Spice Cake line and all of these gifts are made with Spice Cake. Thanks Mandy!
Mandy is AMAZING with My Digital Studio. She has taught me everything I know about MDS and she makes the greatest items! The below calendar and pencil cup was made by her with MDS. The calendar sleeves turn to change the dates, days and months. She has directions on her blog on how make this!
During our September Stamp Club meeting the ladies surprised me with cupcakes and this pile of cards! Yes, each of these amazing ladies made a handmade card for me and I was so delighted! They all did an amazing job!
I still have a few projects to show you over this next week.
Thanks for stopping by!
A calendar and pencil cup in one, how cute! I am in love with the Spice Cake line as well; can't get enough. I hope you had a fantastic birthday!!! :)
