Last Friday, Howard and I hooked up with our two daughters, Melissa and Amy. On our way to meet them for lunch, we discovered a new place to explore, a little store on North Russell, Project Hope, with a mission of Building Futures, Restoring Lives. The cute little shop was even photo worthy.
We connected with Melissa and Amy (and with two of our four grandkids: Luke and Gabriella -- Emmett and Jackson were in school) and had lunch at Laughing Planet on North Mississippi.
After lunch, we headed to Flutter, a place that describes itself as a delightful disarray of found objects and clutter. Yes, it fits that description quite well!
I only purchased one thing at Flutter, but what a find. It's a new book filled with stencils. Stencils, I tell ya. It's entitled Stencil 101: Make Your Mark with 25 Reusable Stencils. My artist and photography friend Shelby makes her own stencils, but I'm not that skilled quite yet. Here's a sampling of what's inside:
We managed to hit one garage sale on our way home, and scrabbling together all of our money, I came away with a few items of interest, including a ball of string.
Of course we visited SCRAP, but I found so many unbelievable things, that I'll do a separate post!

OOOHHHH! This book is on my wishlist! Just cause you can cut your own stencils doesn't mean you don't want to play with other peoples!
