This is my happy card. You wouldn't believe what I went through to get this done. The fish hook hooked my index finger bad and I learned never to put a Band-Aid over an acrylic nail. I had to print all images from the internet because I knew what I wanted to do, I just didn't have the materials necessary to do it. But, I did color them all myself.
Now, for the story behind this. My oldest son, Mike, who is now 22 and married, asked me this question when he was 6 or so. If you think about it, he does have a point, but it was so darn cute when he asked me this and I remember laughing and laughing about this question. It was one of those great childhood memories that you keep forever.
My oldest daughter, Mackenzie, who is 15, asked me a few weeks ago on our trip to Chicago if a Smurf choked, what color would it turn? You have to know my daughter to appreciate this one.
My younger son, Scott, who is now 13, asked me his memorable question yesterday. Unfortunately, it's too X-rated to print.
With my youngest daughter, Bailey, who will be 10 next week, every day is a trip with her.
I'll post details on my blog later today. Thank you for looking and enjoy! Have a great day.
