A Thankful Heart

Sometimes you have to go back to your 4th grade art class ... primary colors never get old together.

This card is all cut up and ready for you to put together the next time the Pretty Pieces Café is open. That's October 23rd and 24th. We have a lot of time to get some new cards added to the mix.

Thank You for Everything

Things are coming together for our first opening on May 2nd from 10am until 8pm.  You've seen a whole bunch of cards that will be available. Here's one more!!!

I believe that if you pay attention in your life you can probably send a thank you note to someone every day. There's just so much to be thankful for and most of it comes through the people in our lives. Start thinking about someone you want to thank NOT because you're obligated by social tradition but because you're truly thankful for the people in your life.

Altered "Recipe"

Do you ever get a recipe from someone and change it up? Maybe it has an ingredient your family doesn't like. OR you have something in your refrigerator that you could use up? 

This week I received the card below in the mail. Isn't it adorable??? I love everything about it except the labor!! That beautiful "patterned" paper is hand stamped. I don't do that! So ... Close To My Heart paper to the rescue. Same idea only a whole lot easier. 

Thank you to Anne Rukke for letting me copy her card. It's only fitting that I show you here because Anne is on the Pretty Pieces team. I'm hoping to show you what the other girls cook up in the future.

Look What I Found

Close To My Heart paper is on trend and timeless all at once!! I love that. 

Here's a little blast from the past I found stashed away in a box. 

Inside it says, "You Are My Sunshine".

This happy card is going into the Al A Carte section, which means you can come to the Pretty Pieces Cafe (my house) and make this card and many more on May 2nd from 10am to 8pm.

Thank You

Here's the next card going on the Al A Carte "menu". 

Isn't it delicious?

You didn't think I'd leave you without Thank You notes did you??
