Calling all Scrapstasher's!!

Spring is in the Air and it's time once again for our monthly Scrapstasher's meetings! I'm currently experiencing a pretty major attack of "Spring Fever"...what about you?? I just love the colors of Spring....green grass, budding trees, and beautiful blossoms! Keeping that in mind, I have some great projects in store for you this month...just in time for Spring! I also have some a couple of fabulous flower making techniques that I will be sharing with you!

Please call the store to verify your sign up and let them know if you cannot attend. We have several on the waiting list and want to accomodate everyone that can come. If you have any questions about the list, please email me at tracy@anthologiesbyme.com. I look forward to creating with you next week! Here's your list...
