Snail Mail Tutorial

Hello there!!  I hope life is treating you well!  I am so thankful for days that go smoothly and for sunshiny days! It's been beautiful here and I'm totally enjoying it!  I hosted a four day retreat this past weekend (hence my MIA) AND ran the snack bar at our first baseball game last Friday.  The retreat was wonderful...lots of laughing, cooking, eating and creating!  The snack bar was terrific too.  I only stayed for one game (as I had my retreat ladies to visit with) but a couple of moms ran it for me for the second game!  All the proceeds go to my son, Adam's Memorial Scholarship Fund.  I'm so happy that the high school teams are playing and that they allow me to still be a part of things...I am VERY BLESSED!

The Snail Mail bungle is retiring with the current catalog and I am so sad!  I think it's such a cute set (and I'm normally not a huge CUTE fan)!  Here's a fun card and tutorial for you to try!
