Hi y'all! Got the graphics finished for the zinc lid ornies! 😄 There are five sets to choose from, all sets have same farm animals but different backgrounds. These should be printed out on card stock and are for the regular size lids. I'll post graphics for the wide mouth lids later. 😉

Hi all, hope everyone is enjoying the new month of April! 😄 Can't wait for it to actually "feel" like Spring!

Wow! It's been a long while! 2017 was a very full and busy year. Then on Nov. 11th I had two major heart attacks! Had stent surgery to try and save my life, couldn't do more than one at the time. Ended up having OHS (open heart surgery) with 5 by-pass done and now trying to recover. 😉 But I am slowly trying to get back to my crafting. I still have some good and bad days to deal with.
