Welcome to Shoestring Elegance and the What to do Weekends Party! 

Friends, Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart for all your kind words and support last week. It has been a difficult time to navigate.

 Tonight I am going out to a wonderful local restaurant, that my friend loved, to celebrate his life and laugh with other friends. It is what he always said he wanted and I am taking great comfort that my dear friend's suffering is over and he is now with our Heavenly Father. so, that's me this week.

On the other hand, you all have been crazy busy getting creating and I want to be sure and shine a light on just a few of you that made me smile and inspired me last week.
