Just Bee-Cause & Sale news



This adorable image, Honey Bee Buckets, is a freebie from Melissa blog from a few weeks ago. I just love this little bee. I could not wait to pair him up with the Beeez Kneeez mini kit from the Caffinated Cropper that I won. When I got it in the mail I was so please with all the cute goodies that it contained. (Thank you Amy!) Almost everything on this card is from the kit and I have plenty of goodies left over.
