Teammie Biography Treasury Thursday - Carol

Hey y'all! I'm back again with another teammie biography treasury! This weeks treasury was inspired by Carol of ceejay60. I had so much fun making this treasury and I hope y'all enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed making it!

The piece that inspired me the most was this Ivy print from Carol's shop. The colors are just gorgeous and the composition is beautiful. I was also inspired by one of her favorite songs, "Bring me some water" by Melissa Etheridge.

Click here to see the finished treasury, make sure to click, comment and support your fellow team members!

Thanks for stopping by!

*******Last week's false fact about Toni from RCTees was this one: #6 is not true.... Actually it's a half truth. Toni did meet Dr. Phil but he's not scary at all. He is one of the nicest "famous" people Toni has ever met. He autographed a birthday card for Toni's 86 year old mother-in-law.  Dr. Phil was so excited because his mother was the same age.
