Glad you had a great weekend with grandparents Mel....we always enjoyed spending long weekends with my hubby's grandparents...but they are both gone now. Sweet Memories!
I've not tried crackle yet...it intimidates me....but I should someday! Thanks for the resources!!! I like the way you do your homework!! :)
Hey Mel! Happy birthday to your Nana!! It's so wonderful to spend time with family! In the end, everything else is of less importance compared to spending time with family and friends. I try to take that perspective whenever I have the urge to craft or blog rather than skipping out on family activities. LOL!
Thanks for all the links! Crackle paint texture is so cool! Never tried it but would love to one day!
