Grandson's tractors.  Tuesday, August 5, 2025 Instead of a live, I had a YouTube Premier queued while we are away. If you love rustic charm and country scenes, you’re going to adore this project! I featured this cheerful farm-inspired birthday card built around the oh-so-cute Tractor & Co. bundle from Stampin’
Up!. Â

Wednesday, August 6, 2025 My Wednesday newsletter went out at 8 am.  I didn't go live, as we spent a wonderful day and evening with the grand kids.  Thursday, August 7, 2025 I didn’t go live, a second YouTube Premier project was available that was inspired by our grandson's second tractor and I have to say—it turned out just as fun and full of charm as the first. There’s something about fall that brings out the cozy in all of us—warm colors, crisp air, and everything pumpkin! I had so much fun
bringing those autumn vibes into this card using the Tractor & Co bundle.Â
