Wonderful Things . . .

Hello people!  Boy, has life been nuts around here!  My son had Spring Break last week -- in the midst of trying to get things done during that time, he got sick.  Then, my hubby got sick . . . and what do you know?  I got sick over the weekend.  Our Spring Break wasn't so fun, just trying to recover.  Now, my poor baby is sick.  Praying everyone stays healthy!  :)

On to my post.  Here is my card for La-La Land Crafts.  Meet Dress Up Marci.  She is one of 3 new images that's been released.  You can find her {HERE} for purchase. 

I could totally picture myself trying to dress up like my mom as a youngster.  I used to try on her heels and walk around the house like a grown-up.  Oh, the wonderful things in life!  I paper pieced her and used my copics to create shadows on her hat and dress.


Here's a closer look.


Thanks for stoppin' in!  I have more in store for you next week!  I've been busy, busy, busy creating . . . stay tuned if you wanna know what's stirring in my pot.  No, it's not chicken noodle soup for our colds!  :)  It's something much more delicious!
