Jill brought out this gift for me, saying, "There's stress, and there can be relief." Well, sign me up!
Jill made me a scrumptious lunch of beef stew and warm rolls. Delish. (She proffered cheesecake as well, but I'm just not a huge cheesecake fan, so I stuck with the m&ms.)
She also inaugurated her new trimmer -- a deluxe model with both a guillotine-style and rotary cutter. It seems she may have finally found her ideal trimmer, because her cards turned out beautifully straight and even. Hallelujah!
I readied several good mail packages and worked on my gratitude journals. It's truly amazing how productive and restorative the time is when there are no interruptions at all!
There was no good picture taken of me today, this was the best of the bunch. I'm only deigning to post it at all out of a sense of tradition.Thanks, Jill -- and Hannah -- for a great day!

That cutter! Oh my.
I wondered if you ever went to Jill's house. How nice of Hannah to volunteer to watch Eva. It must have been so nice and quiet.
It's about time Jill got the guillotine style trimmer (they are my favorite) with all the trimming she does. Hopefully she won't get cutters elbow anymore.
I have a really old guillotine trimmer.... like really old & it is THE BEST THING EVER!
I love your photo & wish you could show off your projects- I'm thinking they are for readers....
what a great day-
I don't like cheesecake either- I thought I was the only one?
i need a cutter like that!
what a treat for you to have the entire time to craft!
the lunch looks amazing, as usual.
you gals are such an inspiration to me.
yay for HANNAH!!!!!!!!!
It was such a good, kid-free day that it almost felt like a dream. It's too bad the time still flew by so quickly, but it was delightfully interruption free and fun.
THANK YOU HANNAH!!!!
if i ever schedule an ongoing thing as wonderful as creative friday, i MUST remember the M & Ms.!
I love your new banner! Those pumpkins are awesome.
I am not a huge cheesecake fan either! Who knew? That stew looks awesome.
It is so pleasing that you both got so much done. Eva had a blast, my girls had a blast, I got a lot done. Win/Win/Win- let's do it again!
Hooray for Hannah! It's amazing what you can accomplish when you're not interrupted every two-and-a-half minutes. Quality time, for sure.
what are you talking about? you ALWAYS take a beautiful photograph! your photo of mod podge is awesome, i love that stuff! i need to take the opportunity to work with it again some time soon.
What a great day! What a great friend Hannah is to take Eva for the day!
How nice of Hannah.
Reading about your tradition with Jill just always makes me feel so happy.
