Meet Up Monday ~ The Creative Finisher

Morning All!  I'd like to introduce you to Veronica Buckwalter AKA The Creative Finisher.  Ronnie is an AMAZING finisher and has worked with designers and myself (she is our SYHO finisher) on new releases as well as finishing designs for Just Cross Stitch Magazine, The Gift of Stitching and Just Cross Stitch Ornament Edition.  Here's a few examples of Ronnie's fabulous finishes. 

Do you spend your B-day in Stitches?

It's only 8:53AM and my B-day couldn't get any better. Today is my birthday (No I will not be sharing my actual age, but I love that the little guy told his class I am going to be 26. I heart him). I came downstairs to the kids singing happy B-day to me and got some really FABULOUS homemade card from the kids (The big guys was just as great, just store bought), a huge list of HB's on Facebook, a massage and pedicure (can't wait!) and some serious stash!

It got me thinking how I was going to spend the day. Gracie's end of the year school pageant is tonight and we are so excited to see her sing her song she's been rehearsing for weeks in secret in her room at night and do her thing on stage. Emma has playgroup and I still have to bake cookies for tonight. Besides going to the post office, get some office work done and possibly throw in some laundry at some point today....how is this different than any other day?

I feel the need to celebrate in stitches. Sound crazy? Not really, right (: Every year I pick a small project to accomplish on my B-day. A few years ago it was a Merry Cox piece that I just LOVED and I actually did the finishing (please note ~ it was my first try, probably should have left it up to Ronnie, but I am glad I tried at least this one time.) Today I am starting the Stitching Treasure Box with Sheep Waxer by Homespun Elegance. I heart it and it is the perfect quick to stitch project to commemorate this FABULOUS year I am about to embark on!

So how do you commemorate your B-day? Do you do it in stitches?
