weekend update

I won a RAK from Cinnibonbon's blog.
She's a hoot! go check her out. She's also a SISta! Cinni's got some sweet postcards on her portfolio. Thanks girl for the RAK. I'll probably be posting some layouts with those wonderful goodies on it soon. and btw.. I didn't know it was gonna be so much! Thanks :)

I was reading Wilna's blog (another SISta!) and I was so moved by what she was doing, that I decided to participate.
How sweet and kind of Wilna to reach out for her friend. As my mother would say, "brighten the corner where you are." And I definitely think Wilna is doing that for her friend.

I put two quotes about friends on the inside:
*Some people go to priest; others to poetry; I to my friends. Virgina Woolf
* Friends are family you choose for yourself. unknown.

I managed to work on and almost complete this little blouse for the little spring wardrobe I'm working on. All I have to do now is put some buttons on it. The next step is to make the little capri pants that go with it. I struggle with ruffles. I think they are adorable, but I in no way like to sew them. I've got at least two more outfits with ruffles though.. ouch!

It was such a beautiful weekend. The sun was out and it was perfect. Hopefully next weekend will be the same.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. :)

Thanks for the comment on my blog. You are a serious scrapbooker, I really like the colors you use in your stuff.
Is your hair naturally curly? So pretty, I'm jealous. :)
