First, if your name is Jennifer and you are my sister, please remove yourself from this post immediately. thank you.
so, we are back to summer here in So. California. I think it was 90 degrees yesterday and although it is going to be slightly cooler today, it looks like it will only be a few degrees.
Put it this way, at last weeks 8am soccer game it was drizzly, we were wearing sweatshirts and gripping our coffee cups to stay warm...yesterday, at the 9am game, we were bare shouldered (with sunscreen on, duh!) gripping our diet coke cups hoping the ice would cool us down....
okay, so remember the other day when I mentioned that my sis is doing an Iron Man this coming Saturday in AZ and I had an idea...whelp, I started and finished it yesterday after games and in-between a nap or two. I was on creative fire and was in ye' ol shead until after 9:30 last night...me??? up till after 9????? yep.
so here is the finished book (I say finished, but I keep adding things to it...) to see more of the book, check out the photo album over to the left under Teresa Collins Designs..
there are so many cool things about this little book that it almost makes me want to train to do an iron man I mean, make more "Little Things" books...oh, I did...but they are not finished yet...but I will let cha' see a bit of them...
they will be in my ETSY SHOPPE as soon as I build up enough stock
and one last thing before I go...I am working on a new skill....
I did these in the car during soccer practice (I wonder if people ever walk by my car and think "What in the world is she doing???") I almost want to say that these PAPER ROSES are close to "beautiful" but I have to "fine tune" them a bit....
Have a wonderful Sunday!!!!
Love those roses! Isn't there a song with the title "Paper Roses"? Lucky sister of yours to get that book - it's awesome! PLEASE HURRY with the Etsy stuff - I want some bad!

Dear Stephanie--I so love it when you use the english language so creatively: "I had an idea..whelp, I started and finished.." such a fun use of that word!!! You are so much fun to listen to!! xxKaren

Even your non-scrappy friend thinks those roses are cool!

Where in AZ, my dad at 67 runs these and often goes to cheer others on if he's not racing

You are so good at making your own flower embellishments!
And I know what you mean about the weather! We had a CRAZY cold Saturday 2 weeks ago. It was 53 degrees and the misty fog was so thick that you could barley see 10 feet in front of you! But then at My sons soccer games this past Saturday it was 89 degrees and I got SUNBURNT! Its wild!

Love the flowers Stephanie, love the book... and I will be "stalking" your Etsy shop also! Like you said, the weather here is so up and down, one day it is cool and the next day we are on heat watch! Ha! We were driving to and from Mission Viejo late Saturday night and it was foggy! As always, your words and work are an inspiration.
