Thanks.....

Hello.....well it might be officially spring but Mother Nature feels that we need a little more Winter! So the best way to live with all the white is too add some bright colors.

I am excited to show you my new DT card for 4 Crafty Chicks.  Today is Thursday and our wonderfully talented hostess this week is Lori.  For Challenge #187 she is asking us to create a layout, card etc...with Spring. Bet when Lori gave us this challenge she had no idea that we would be still dealing with snowfall warnings.  Great Challenge girlie!

One of the things that make me think of spring is the flowers that we will soon see.  I picked bright colors with a clean and simple layout.

Stamp: So Happy For You (Stampin Up), Possy Patch Garden Delights Pre-Cut Set (Heartfelt Creations)

Paper: Lovely Lialic, Fruit Stand 6x6 pad (Doodlebug Designs)

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Early Espress

Happy B-Day!

Good Morning! Yesterday, I got a surprise from one of my parents friends.  They heard that I am still not able to put my own socks on since the accident.  Their friend has this little contraption that he used after a surgery so he could put his socks on by himself.  He has very graciously lent it too me to use.  So for the first time in 100 days I am able to put my socks on without asking someone else to do it for me. My heart is overwhelmed with joy! Guess you can say I am doing a real happy dance!

Over at 4 Crafty Chicks we have a new challenge but first we are saying good bye to our awesomely talented Guest Designer Tammy! Thank you so much for the last two months of amazing inspiration.
