We talked about what to call ourselves. It made me think about when we were discussing the name Pantry Violets.......
I think it was Stephanie who suggested Red Shoes......
....hmmmmm.......

When we walked in, the table looked beautiful. We ate yummy food and talked and very soon, the table looked like this:

Stephanie got busy. Laura had done so much research and brought out stacks of books filled with inspiration....so we all did sketches and pulled out the scissors.

Cheryl worked on some lettering inside of her heart...

A couple of mine - above and below. I could really spend HOURS doing this!

Here is Cheryl's finished product - Didn't she do a great job on the lettering?

And, Stephanie's scissors cut out some amazing love birds surrounded by branches and hearts.

And, then there is Beth. She was truly in her element with paper and scissors. I love the faces above, with the tree atop. Below, the hand is so fantastic! The entire page is perfect....

This table is filled with all the amazing pieces that Beth did and I love them all.
