Mothers Day and more…,,

 Independence Uptown Market is this Saturday May 10th.  I have been busy in my backyard and had to drop everything and make some new cards!  Paper Pumpkin to the rescue!  I grabbed this kit and made 10 cards without the instruction page.  Not sure what it is under but it is MIA!  This is why I love Paper Pumpkin!  You can do it your way!

Get your cards this week!  I will not be at the Market 5/17!
