Happy Saturday my crafty friends… spending a little time today playing in the haven and I’m having a blast.. all the party planning is done and I’ve gotten all of the party items that I ordered online. The big 50th bash is next Saturday and I tell you we’re all excited. I’m getting my playing time in this weekend don’t know how much time I’ll get to play next weekend. I’m entering a couple of challenges this weekend  first one I’m playing on is CASology the cue word this week is Watercolor. I pulled out an old set that’s been in my stash for awhile and it’s one of those situation’s where I had to have it but you never used it so I’m  using some of my old sets and it’s great to finally use some of the stuff in your craft room that you normally don’t reach for can any of you relate. I pulled out an old SSS set Always & Forever to create my watercolored flowers and then used a few distress inks, hope you like my take on the cue word this week…..I’m off to create my next card.
