Welcome back everyone! I’m really excited because I broke 180 fans on my facebook fan site. Wahoo! I’m still going for 200, so when I reach 200 I think I’ll have a giveaway. What should I give away? Leave me a comment and let me know what you think! Wow, have I got some great cards to share with you! I’ve been busy stamping and coloring and piecing items together for the upcoming holidays - Halloween and Dia de Los Muerte, which are probably my two favorite holidays of the year.

I've got Kraftin' Kimmie's Bridget (which is another bathtub image) to play with as well. Also, I finally got my Kraftin' Kimmie sets I placed an order for and I started on a new card. Also, this is the first time I've had a chance to use Richie from this '50's collection as well. I'm excited to see how this card will turn out! Thoughts? Cheers! Xo, Rachael
