Faux Tag Spread

In a previous Cocoa Daisy project, I created a tag using the October Glow Creative Ki t paper to serve as a bookmark. I loved the idea so much that I decided to use it as a template throughout the spread.

I, yes me , installed a water heater blanket and hot water pipe insulators that same day.


Yeah Earth!!!

I promise to post more projects this week before I head to the Road to California on Thursday. I can't wait to learn ( and be warm)!!!
