I have been a busy bee preparing for the August 2005 Sampler. Mini ephemera packets - full of all sorts of goodies - photos, antique ads, vintage bits and other baubles!  I had so much fun making them and hope that people like them!

Other news of note - Mike and I have found a place and are moving in together - in 6 weeks!  That means I need to get packing!  I am so excited and deliriously happy!  The place is wonderful, the bedroom has a little spot by the window that we are going to put a chair in to be a reading nook,  and I will have my own craft room - we will also have a garage and a cute little patio.  I am so excited.  Big step, but one I am ready for!  Snail mailers & friends - no worries - change of address cards will be sent out soon!

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July.  We went to Charlottesville and had a wonderful time exploring the Shenandoah area (we saw a bear!). I posted a couple photos on flickr - but I was not overly impressed with my photographs this trip.  Oh, I even found a shop where I got my snail mail swap partner some goodies! 

One last goodie to share - antique image cards soon to be added to the shop - what do you think?
