This first M&T was made at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique at the Friday, May 1st pre NSD crop . . . Karen gave everyone a choice of 4 different “make & take” mini kits and after a half hour of trying to decide between 2 of them . . . I chose the one from K & Company to showcase a very special day in my family’s life . . . it was my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday and among all the “posed” pictures there was this one of just my kids, husband, myself & the birthday girl being silly . . . everything was in this kit except the pearls, glitter paint and chalk (I chalk everything that isn’t nailed down) . . . this picture hangs on my workplace wall and brings a smile and a wonderful memory every time I see it . . .

Now the 2nd M&T was completed at Magic Memories & Keepsakes in Chico this last Tuesday evening (May 19th) using Prima products . . . a representative from Prima was at the store earlier in the afternoon to demonstrate Prima’s “Clear Paintables” transparencies . . . the very nice representative left enough supplies behind so that those of us who worked during the day were able to learn how to paint the transparencies using Tim Holtz Adironack alcohol inks & blending solution . . . I added a glitter butterfly, a Prima flower and a Jenni Bowlin pearl flower . . . the picture is of my daughter, granddaughter and myself (taken at my brother-in-law’s on Mother’s Day this year) . . . Kyra is sure look pretty serious in this picture (I think she had enough of picture taking by this time) . . .

Well that’s all for now . . . thanks for stopping by . . . until next time . . .
