Thank you, Ms Lorie

Hi there,

for today's card... well, let's say it just matches many things!

Ms Lorie is one of my oldest boy's teacher and when I first saw her I wasn't too excited about her (which is the nicer version of what I really thought). But when I got to know her better during the last year I figured out how wrong I've been. She is the sweetest person ever. She takes great care of all her preschoolers and even of the moms. And whenever I had a question or needed some support (concerning bi-lingual..., where to get those songs, any idea where to find good kids books for bringing to Germany, ...) she was there to help immediately. I'm so thankful to have her as Mathis' teacher. That was my first thought when I saw Taylor's new stamp set that has been released in April...... *sigh*

The second thing is: Verve is having another huge release party- BEACH PARTY!!!! And to celebrate this Julee provided 5 challenges to win a bunch of goodies. And you all know how much I love winning goodies, right? So I took one of her sketches and my April Key Ingredients set from Taylored Expressions and went to work.

Love the DP, the colors, the ribbon ... and oh, yes! Every single stitch I made with the sewing machine was preplanned :-)) (that is the reason why I do not do quilting :::rolleyes:::)

Thank you for stopping by today - I wish you a wonderful rest of the week and hope to see you soon!

Hugs Tanja
