Try something new!!

 I have always loved hand-turned items: bowls, pens, etc.  My husband, Mike, has gotten a lathe and has started making things.  I've been behind a lathe "officially" 3 times now.  Yesterday afternoon I made something new!  I turned my 2nd pen, but this one is in polyresin, and it is highly amusing to watch the ribbons of material fly off the blank.  I looked like a cotton-candy factory exploded all over me...😅😅

 So. In our last episode, I said that I would show you all a fun card for National Orange and Lemon Day.  That was last week!  Where did the time go?  So without further delay, here's a sunny Thank You card using the Sweet Citrus (160641) Bundle.  It's such a happy card! I used 2 bright yellows, as well as Starry Sky ad Parakeet Party 23-24 In-colors to create a cheerful Thank You card.   I will be featuring this in the April Craft-n-Chat, on April 15th (Tuesday) and 18th (Saturday).  This will be an in-person class, so if you would like to join us, head over to my FB page and click "Going".
