"Make-It Monday" Blossoming Basket Bundle

Good morning everyone! It’s so good to be home but I did have a blast on my vacation!  The weather was perfect....mid to high 70’s!  We fished, rode quads, kayaked, swam, enjoyed the hot tub and ATE! It was WONDERFUL!!! 

I'm already back at creating!  On Saturday, a dear friend (who also happens to be a downline) went to Carmichael to a class another team member was having! There were gifts, prizes, make-n-takes and some great tips! I think there were about 40 of us there and it was so much fun!  I joined a Birthday Card swap there that I will be sharing with you later this week, but today it's time for a "Make-It Monday"!  ENJOY!!!
