Happy Easter! Happy Spring!

Hello my bloggie friend,

I have been working on the following projects for the last three days.  This all came about because I wanted Easter or Spring placemats for my fur-babies: Sophie, Zach and Lucy.  Most of the placemats I found had a funny odor to them.  I think it was just the vinyl they were made with, but Zach does not like 'wonky' odors and he would not get close to his food dish with that placemat under his dish.  So, I decided to make 12x12 placemats for my babies and laminate them.  These pics are pre-lamination.  Need to find a good place to do that job.  So let the show begin ...
