My quick trip to Aunty Lynn's

Here we sat, for 2 days scrapping...and never even stepped foot on the beach! My cousin~Cheri, Aunty Lynn & Me in her pretty beach house.
Some of our mini book creations...
Old Wooden spools made into mini 'books' too...
Here is Aunty Lynn's handmade soap curing. We ran out of time to make a batch together...which was tentatively part of the plan...BUT too much talking & stopping to eat, drink & be merry was going on... Oh well, she did send me home with a couple of these bars to enjoy. :0)
Last, but not least...after hearing about my button frenzy in recent days...
Aunty Lynn collected some Antique salt shakers from her local flea market & shared her stash of vintage buttons to make little boudoir size bouquets. WHAT A SWEET KEEPSAKE OF OUR DAYS SPENT CRAFTING TOGETHER!
