A Little Rough Around the Edges **CCCB**

Hi ALL!  I'm excited to be the hostess this week for City Crafters Challenge Blog  and I have picked for a theme "A Little Rough Around the Edges". Sometimes a little roughness adds interest and beauty to someone or something. With that in mind...our challenge to you is this...add a little burlap on your project somewhere. I just love the look of burlap...that little bit of roughness...of texture it can add to a project. Sooooo don't bescared to be a little rough around the edges and grab ahold of some burlap and get going. I can't wait to view your projects this week!  If you need a little inspiration make sure you head over to CCCB...our Guest Designer, Michelle, and ALL our DT members have outdone themselves this week!  Please go check out thier GORGEOUS projects.   Speaking of GORGEOUS...our sponsor this week is Little Things for Cute Creations.  Such a LOVELY, LOVELY etsy shop!  You are going to definitely want to play for the prize of a $15 gift certificate!  So don't worry if your project this week is a little rough around the edges...that is just the way we want it! 
HUGS, Cheryl
**Computer update-  Just want to give a BIG shout out and THANK YOU to my son-in-law for fixing my computer!  The virus was indeed nasty...going all the way into the computer recovery system.  He had to completely take EVERYTHING off my computer and then add back those things that were just the most important after checking and re-checking that all was clean.  Thank goodness he found my photos and we were able to save them.
