Splurged

My magazine spending has been greatly curtailed (which in all honesty is most likely a good thing).  However.  I could not stand to pass this one up today.

So awesomely pretty! 

And look!  Our own little Paper Cowgirl (Teacher 2009), Ann Denise, is in here!  Congrats on the magazine gurl!  She's so very talented and sweet to boot.  And speaking of boots, you might remeber that she did these:

!  Yep, that is a totally glittered Pink Cowgirl boot! 

Another fave was this great article from my bloggy friend, Cat!  I've been a huge fan of hers ever since I purchased her book, Art from the Heart.  It's a great how-to, lots of beautiful projects.

Love this book of hers! 

Look at the details here!  And yep, most stitched.  She's amazing.

Loved this, wish Sarah had a blog!

Equally adorable, this fabric book.  And I've been a huge fan of Norma's for quite some time now.  She should have a blog too!  She used to post a lot on an art website, that sadly I've forgotten the name and the link.   Boo.

These are just so stinking cute!  Makes me want to run into the Studio and make tags like crazy!  Thanks Colette, wonderful inspiration!

And just so much more.  So if you feel like a wee bit of indulgence, pick this one up soon!

I don't feel guilty about buying any of the Stampington publications because they are so well done, almost like a book. I can't bear to part with any of them, either. I just bought the Holidays and Inspirations issue and think it's one of the best ever!

I bought that one too! I always buy mine with a 40% off coupon for micheals or joann fabrics.. otherwise they are bank breakers!

[Lori Holt]

I'm going to Micheals right now and pick up that issue...thanks for sharing Cindy, you're posts are always so fun!
