REPOST, REPOST, REPOST!!!

Ah... the edit...

But, I promise, it's worth the wait...

My apologies and sincerest thanks to my Ornament Thursday Girls for being so patient with me this week... this project means so much to me and only sincere sickness would keep me away.

But without further ado, I present to you...

LUCKY!

This project is based on a really beautiful coin holder my girlfriend gave me for my birthday... (I'll have to take a photo of that, too, and post it for you to see...)

I did not have a coin holder, but make do instead with a Melissa Frances accordion book and a circle punch.

I'm so pleased with how it came out and wanted it originally as a decorative piece for St. Patrick's Day, but it really turned out to be something I can keep out all the time.

Each panel has one letter of the word lucky and 6 circles with the sentiments...

"Lucky to... be a mom to 2 super kids... Addie & Liam... to have a supportive husband... Love u... I am lucky"

This collaboration that I share with my designer friends is a real treasure to me. I am lucky to be a part of such a great group of women.

So, please, do check out their versions of... LUCK!

{My original post unedited:}

I've been running around for a month.

OT is tomorrow and here's my "teaser." I'll edit tomorrow to include everything...
My email is on and off and off and on, so if you've emailed me and I haven't responded it may be because I didn't get it. (I'm asking Sean to look at it tonight... he's busy trying to find the TV clicker right now... duh...)

Or it may be because I've been sick.

I feel like crap.
