By the way, the new Dirty Girls were announced, and the fan club is open, and our cards for the August theme, Great Lengths, are now in our galleries. I have seven entries in my gallery.

In addition to cooking all morning, I am in the mood to color! Not the best idea when making chili though. Still, I managed to make this card without getting chili all over it - just in a couple of well-hidden spots. LOL. Thanks for looking! ~Karen.
