Stickers!!! They're not just for matting sheltie fur anymore! Lillie Louise is always getting in a sticker patch by the fence. Thank goodness someone told me about putting baby powder on them. Yep, word to the wise – if your pooch gets stickers in her fur just sprinkle on baby powder and they slide right out.
But that's not why we're gathered here today. I'm showing and telling some fascinating aspect of my life so I thought I'd show you my aprons I made for
Mary Ann's itty bitty book club. I'm making two sets of twelve to send to her and will get back the cutest little apron book you ever saw.
For this Apron book I decided to use what I've got and I've got a million stickers. Do you ever use them anymore? I don't very often so I was trying to make them not so flat. They make cute little dangly charms. Stuck on cardstock and then "popped up" they look pretty cute also.
There's not a lot of pink in these but there's always a little – it's only fitting…don't you think?
I made 12 blue and green aprons with old paper and trims from Big Lots and some of these stickers are probably 12 years old now!
And twelve on tan cardstock.
Besides a teatime theme I seem to have going on there is some sage advice….
got that straight now? Now go take a nap – ignore the housework and enjoy the moon!
Today I'm joining:
Claudia at Dipity Rd for Friday Finding Beauty, Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday, and Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for Pink Saturday!

Wow! That is going to be one cute little book! I recognize the Big Lots papers, we only paid $5 for that giant packet...I'm still using stuff from that collection. And the Susan Branch girlfriend stickers are all time favorites. Well, my friend, you've outdone yourself on these...Don't let me pass up the next one when Mary Ann puts out an invitation. See you soon.
