The Bedspread

I wrapped myself in its comfort every night. It protected me from storms. From the bad guys. From my oldest sister's cat. It was always warm when I needed it to be and just cool enough for those hot summer nights. I had my beadspread all through gradeschool (and beyond)...  I think I saw it in the closet in my old room at my parent's house, so I think it is still around. Perhaps I should bring it home with me and remember what it is like to be young again.

The inspiration photograph at Love My Tapes reminded me of this well loved bedspread of my youth with its colors and textures. Thank you to the Button Junkie as well for sending me some of her very own crinkly ribbon. This is the first time I've used it and wow-it was a lot of fun and super easy to work with.

A little rusty on the cardmaking front here! My oldest just went off to join the first grade with a lot of homework and I've re-discovered the joy of reading again. I'm hoping it will come back to me, I'd even take it slowly coming back to me.
