First Saturday of The Month {and Then Some!}…

Being that it is the first Saturday of the month, I get the honor of introducing October’s Designer of the Month. Please give a warm welcome to the wonderful LESA SMALIGO…
A little about Lesa in her own words…
Having been a long time fan of Jen’s SFYTT, I was thrilled when she asked me to be her guest designer for the month of October. Checking out her sketch every Saturday morning has become as much a part of my routine as stopping at Starbucks! I had the pleasure of meeting Jen in person a few years ago (along with a couple of her stamping partners in crime) for some lunch and a little stamp shopping. I wish we were able to get together more often! Since October is my birthday month, being the guest designer is the coolest gift ever! Thanks Jen!
I am a WFHM (work from home mom) who owns a firm in the political and association management arenas. I was born and raised in Oklahoma and am blessed to have a wonderful family. My husband is also in politics and my 14 year-old daughter is in the 8th grade. Two days ago we added a new little blessing to our family – a Yorkshire Terrier - named Marlie.
In addition to paper crafting, I enjoy reading, Starbucks coffee, college football, baking, old movies and all things politics. I am looking forward to meeting all the SFYTT gals this month!
Here’s this week’s sketch…
Here’s my sample, using the to-be-released {THIS WEDENSDAY!} die and stamp set from My Favorite Things, POLKA DOT GREETINGS…
