One Year Blog Anniversary!

I can’t believe it has been one year since I started on this journey!  This blog world that I really didn’t know anything about has been the greatest blessing for me this past year.  With Gabby off to her first year of college and I was feeling lost.  But, one by one each one of you have filled my empty nest and I’m sooooo grateful for each and every one of you!   The parties, swaps, giveaway and especially YOU! 

I have to thank my hubby for my great blog name, Geralyn, Marlene and Toni for pushing me to start my blog.  So, I wish I could give each and everyone of you a gift, but I could only make one. 

If you are a follower, you will be enter one time, if you leave a comment on this post you will get another chance to win.  So, you have a possibility to be entered twice.   I love to make these “Pocketbook Albums”.  This is using pink paislee collection “Queen Bee.” 

IMG_0592This is a pocketbook album for one lucky winner.  IMG_0595This is a cute, little clay bear I bought off of eBay. 

IMG_0596This is the first and second page.  I used prima flowers, flourishes, and ribbon.  Hand stamped little bees and used a little metal rose for decoration.

IMG_0599Some prima flowers, brads, and butterfly image from Lisa’s blog “What a Beautiful Mess.”  On her blog, she gives you the images for these butterflies.  Click here to get the images.

These are the last two pages using more prima flowers and ribbon.  Thanks for the many sweet comments and visits this past year! It has meant more to me than you know.  I will pull the winner on June 17th.  Wishing everyone good luck!  Hugz, Z.
