Here is a really nice review of my new book "Welcome Little One" by a cute little girl. She loved all the interactive features. Welcome Little One

Angel Baby
I was so thrilled to see this and love that my book touched this Moms heart.
"I
have always called Maren my little angel baby (and Dylan too!) and for
Christmas, as part of her "angel" theme, I stumbled upon a children's
book by Sandra Magsamen, that made me cry in the middle of Target. The
words are on the picture below and I LOVE them!!"

A Day At The Brimfield Fair
I have heard about the Brimfield antique fair for as long as I can remember and it has been a dream to go. So... last Tuesday my husband and I made the dream come true. We drove to Brimfield Mass for the AMAZING 21 fields of antiques on the most beautiful day I can remember. It was warm, the clouds were billowing and the crowds were delightful. I found such treasures including frames made from recycled wood, vintage garden tools, lots of great notions for creating my fabric pins and more. Honestly, there is so much to see I was a BIT overwhelmed but look forward to next years trip back to Brimfield.

A Sweet Idea
I love to entertain and like to make it fun for everyone. I recently had some friends over and had made some cupcake ahead of time. We all used some pre-made colored fondant to create works of art. It was so much fun and the end result was beautiful.
