Got back yesterday afternoon after another fantastic event in Las Vegas. We had a blast! Nancy Wethington organized an amazing event for the PaperDoodles, I designed some special projects just for the event but, the attendees are what makes it SPECIAL!! We had a amazing group of talented crafters from around the world! Make sure to scroll to the end of the post for a special sale this week only!

I mentioned that one could make the door operable like a draw bridge and Ruth was off and running to do just that!! I love it when people tweet a design to make it unique!

Patterns and videos for both of these projects will be available for purchase later this week.

I can hardly wait for the next event in Salem Massachusetts in September. Are you ready for fall colors in New England at the birthplace of the witch hunts? Click here for more info and come join us!!
