It's Rainy Men... Halleluja!

This afternoon at the Orem Pebbles we were pleasantly surprised by men and lots of them! All wanting to make their wives and sweethearts a special handmade card. What could be more thoughtful? It was so fun watching them grasp the skills of picking out printed paper and die cuts, folding a card, attaching a brad and creating a design. Each man, along with Ashlee & Natasha were so willing to help one another. Our hearts were happy as we shared in the love that each man had for their sweetheart. Happy Valentines Day to all of you!
-Brenda

Farewell to Natasha

Our Natasha is ready to fly and pursue her dreams. We will keep our eyes open to watch our rising makeup star in movie credits. Today we sent her off with Oriental Chicken Wraps and yummy desserts and wish her the very best in life... and of course lots of visits. She is after all the first person that told me I had mature skin :)
