Are you like me...

and buy things like this,

when you see them on clearance?  I always buy stuff like this when I  see it really cheap at M's or J's.  I am sure I did not pay more than $1 for it.  Not always sure what I  will do with it at the time of purchase, but just know that someday....

My sister and her husband are coming to visit tonight.  They live a little over an hour away and come to visit about once a month.  They stay overnight and we always have a blast.
My sister plays Bunco.  I don't really know much about it but it sounds like fun.  So she called me last night;  she is hosting next week and needs a prize for the winner.  She asked if maybe I could make something for her.  
So this morning I got to work.  Found the wooden plaque in my stash and my creativity started flowing.
A little primer and paint:
glued a piece of paper to the center section, covered some chipboard letters with patterned paper and came up with this:
Its hard to see but the 'babe" is cut from very sparkly SU paper.  The flower was in my stash, made back when I discovered how to make them from fabric.
A couple of ribbons on the hanging wire and we are good to go.

I have a huge stash of supplies, probably more than my fair share.  When I can whip something up in a couple of hours using only stuff from my stash, it makes me very happy.

I can't wait till my sister gets here and sees it.


Thanks for visiting.
See you soon,
Ang
