The algorithm served me this video today from @SeeKateSew and I am so glad it did. There are so many darling projects to sew for gifts from scraps. Plus Kate shares printable patterns for all if the projects.

These are handmade gifts people will want that won't break the bank. That's exactly what we need right now. Kudos, Kate! (I do not know this woman, I just think this video is great!)

We are home safe and sound from an amazing week in Italy where we painted, visted inspiring places and enjoyed delicious local food and wine! The best part was the friendships formed with these wonderful women!

If this sounds like fun, I have 4 spots available in next year's retreat in Greece. Learn more here:

All I can say is ugh, and I'm sorry I shared the disaster of a paper sale. I'm putting all the info I have here so hopefully everyone involved will see it.

If you ordered paper from the Blick/MacPhearsons liquidation sale you will want to check your orders to see if you received the correct amount and the right products. Up until today they were saying they would reship the correct amounts but now they are canceling all orders of multi pack papers offered in the sale.

I checked to make sure the prices were correct for the packs and I was told they were. The prices were still listed in 5, 10, 25 and 50 sheet packs up until 2 days ago when they pulled the entire liquidation sale down. Today they sent emails canceling all unshipped orders of liquidation paper and discontinuing those products. If you were shipped single sheets when you should have received packs you will need to let them know so they can issue you a refund. If you already did that you should be all set. They are letting people keep the single sheets for free and also issuing $10 gift coupons for future orders so look for those emails and save them. They are good for a year.

I'm sure Blick didn't mean for it to happen.

The good news is that only paper packs were affected. Paint, pastels, canvass and other types of supplies were correctly sold and shipped.

The customer service reps at Blick have the patience of Job and they were wonderful, I have no issue with them. They had to deal with changing policy and be cheerful while doing it.

Feel free to console each other or vent in the comments. Sending hugs to you all. I think this might be the universe telling me to use what I have. Again, I am so sorry to share a sale that caused so much dissapoitment.
