With Sale-a-bration ending on Thursday, I thought it would be fun to have another Mystery Host Party. Leap Year Mystery Host Party! As a reminder about Sale-a-bration:
A few years ago I created a Black & White Quilt Strip card that became very popular, with over 2K views on YouTube.

If you’re into card making (and you wouldn’t be reading this blog post if you weren’t), then I bet you love taking one idea and turning it into your own version.

I agree and will go one step further and say that everyone who has a birthday deserves a handmade birthday card. And if you want to go even one more step further, everyone who has a birthday should have their house (or at least…
Sometimes you just can’t find the “perfect” gift for someone special in a store or online. In my family, my dad is the hardest person to find a gift for. Many times I either make him something homemade from the kitchen, or give him coupons to use in the future. He loves to hold onto the coupons and years later…
