I wanted to share a favorite craft site of mine called Pattern Bee. They are a lovely site offering Free embroidery and craft patterns and also offer many gorgeous Vintage Patterns for sale. Here are some of my Favorites you can check out in their Free Stuff section. I hope you find plenty of inspiration to keep you busy crafting for 2008!

I have been spending a lot of time online lately and one of the stores I visit often is The 15 Dollar Store. Everything is 15 dollars and they have a ton of cute name brand items like denim, sunglasses and jewelry that is definitely worth the look! Most of the Fashions are junior sizes like the cute Angie Top, the Stretch Trousers by Hotkiss, and the Kersh Velvet Babydoll. Everything is updated weekly with minimal stock so if you see something you like it is worth trying out. Just like everything in life the sizes vary by brand but they have an excellent customer service that explains more about individual fits.

Here are some more items along the Pink and Blue color way! These are some of my recent 12×12 memory album pages, they are finished but left open for photos! This really is a fun and fast way to make pages, by using up paper and trim and then adding photos later, it makes it a lot easier for me to place everything for a pretty page and then find photos that fit!

For your Viewing Pleasure, I was playing around with some black and white Transparency images and decided to make some cards today to share with you. I used a lot of Pink and Blue pigment ink around the edges of the paper and the cards. No matter how many cards I make I still have a ton of supplies, the transparency images were found at the bottom of that pile!

I thought I would post the New smorgasbord of Lovely dolls and fashions that are now available online that I have fallen in love with recently. The first is a Doll Ensemble by Andrea available for a very short time on eBay as a One of a kind Project Dollway Fashion.

The second is the new 16" Christina St Claire wigged doll by Fashion Boulevard she is a limited edition of 30 dolls

I have also found the 2008 Vivette Sweet escape collection 12" doll fashions that will fit Silkstone Barbies from D.A.E. Originals, Fashion Snapshot, Pomp n Splendor and Eventail are my Favorites!
