i have been hanging out at
"paper and cookies", the awesome
blog of val for awhile now. she is a paper crafter, like me. but, unlike me, she makes stuff all the time, every week! check out her blog- her cards and scrapbook layouts are beautiful! i like to click on each of her images and enlarge them to really see how amazing her work is.
also, unlike me, val has had her work published in popular crafts magazines and is on the design teams of several online sites and blogs. check out her resume
here.she is HUGELY talented, because, not only is she a great paper artist, but she is also a wonderful
cookie artist! yes, she decorates cookies beautifully too.
i have gotten to know val a bit through her blog, my blog and facebook. she is a fellow "jersey gal" (yes, i'm in tennessee now) and lives not far from where i grew up. she's friendly and funny and a real busy mom of two. go check out her blog and tell her aurorafedora sent ya!!
grateful today for :
1. my new craft room
2. chocolate
3. internet friends
WOW! Val IS a talented gal!! Those baby bottle cookies are adorable!

Lovely pages at "craft and cookies". Like Suzula, I loved the baby bottle cookies and also the bat cookies! Val is such a prolific poster...glad that a friendship has arisen between two like minded gals :).
ReplyDeletehi Joanne, came over from Val's blog. She is a gem, isn't she? Your tribute post to her is beautiful. I love the way you write and your grateful list is something I do myself. :) I'm a new follower of the hellhole. {which is just too funny!!! - we lived in a house once that we called the "money pit". I like the "hellhole" better though.} ~patti
