So, I'm continuing my love affair with Retro Sketch #35, but this time with a CASE by Retro designer Jen W - I couldn't resist her sleek dress forms, and had to respond with a version of my own! I love paper-piecing these, and doing the little troupe of them really let me bring on the color! Oo la la!

OK, I might have been going straight for the obvious here, but when I saw Clean & Simple #215, snowflakes just drifted past my eyes! The irony, of course, is that I barely used this lovely snowflake die strip when it was current, sigh - I was floored when it retired {sob}. I decided a little touch of silver would finish things off - don't see much snow here in AZ, so I get to spend a lot of time idealizing it, I guess!

Can you imagine being married for 50 years??? I have to say - there are definitely days that I can't {wink wink}, but I can always dream of it! These favors were commissioned by a friend of mine for their parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary - wowee! I'm in awe! I made 32 of these in a mix of fall colors, using papers provided by them to coordinate with the table decor at a snazzy family banquet planned for the celebration - so nice to be part of it! The saying is a Polish one (as is the family) - meant to convey good wishes, good luck and long life, perfect for a 50th Anniversary! There's a traditional song for it that you can hear here, as I understand it, you can't make the toast without someone breaking into the song! Congratulations! (And Sto Lat!)
