I don't know what happened here, but I am happy that I checked...this post was scheduled to go out at 7:00 AM...apparently it didn't want to:0} Gotta love it! Now, back to the "scheduled" program...and I better get off this computer and head outside before my hubby finds me...Happy Hump Day everyone!!! I am shocked that it is already the middle of the week! It isn't a bad thing because we will be picking Jonathon up from the airport on Friday night! I am sooooooo excited to see him:o) I just hope the weekend goes by slower than the past week... I am also hoping that the weather is perfect for cookin' out and swimming! If all goes as planned, I should have some pictures for you. Hopefully, mom doesn't get too involved with goofing off that she forgets to take the pictures. I have been known to slip up like that from time to time. Bad Mommy!!!
Now onto today's card...About two weeks ago, I received an email from a super, sugary sweet and mega-talented lady...you all know her as Danni:o) She's the one who always leaves the sweetest comments and spreads smiles everywhere she goes! Isn't she an absolute darling?!?! Well, we have emailed one another in regards to swapping images, but never in a million-bazillion years did I ever think she would ask me to be a guest designer for her awesome Flutter By Wednesday Challenge. To my surprise, she did...and as you probably guessed, I said yes. How could I not? There is no theme for this week's challenge. All you have to do is create a card/project using a butterfly or fairy or both if you are feeling especially creative AND have loads of fun while you are doing it. Once your card/project is complete, post a DIRECT link of your flutter by masterpiece in Mister Linky. If you choose to upload your creation to SCS and/or PCP, use the keyword FBW so Danni and the rest of her amazing DT can flutter on by to admire your submission. Easy, peasy-lemon, squeezy!
Well, we are on our way to Lowe's to purchase some landscaping equipment and new railing for our front porch. It doesn't look like I will have any stamping time again today! Yes, I am pouting...but, I'll get over it. On the up side...the garage looks fabulous (we only encountered a few black widows, one brown recluse, and I won't even mention the amount of wolf spiders...we'll just say I didn't have the most pleasant of dreams because of those CaaaREEPY fellas). Now that there are no boxes and no clutter (and the fact that we sprayed the heck out of the area and spread out some moth balls), they shouldn't be back...unless they have a death wish! We also fixed the fencing around our backyard. Hopefully, by the end of today, we will have the landscaping done in the front yard and the front porch railing replaced:o) Keeping my fingers crossed!
Have a spectacular Wednesday!!! If you have some stamping time, ink something for me;O) Take care my friends and be blessed!!!
Hugs!
Carolyn

What beautiful colors you used in this card, Carolyn. Congrats on being chosen by Danni as guest designer. She is a sweetheart. My post didn't go as scheduled today either, and it didn't go the other morning either. What's up with that?! Have fun with your son - I know you're excited to see him. Hugs,
