Crop Saturday

G'afternoon friends, I went to our LSS yesterday as it was their Monthy Crop day/evening. I always enjoy myself, the ladies are so fun, and their talents enlighting. Anyway, I just luv this new line from My Mind's Eye, called Quite Contrary, I went to their examples, and they have some amazing talented design team. I think it is just wonderful. This little one is my great-niece, and she is 1 month old in these pictures. Thanks for taking a look. I am pretty pleased on how they turned out. They will be displayed at the LSS for others to see what a wonderful line this one is.
