This week's Twisted Sistah Challenge was to make a card reflecting a nice memory. I grew up spending holidays, vacations, and summers at my Gradmother's and Aunt's houses at Priest Lake, ID. The sand and water really are that color. In the summer we would swim every day. This is the part of the lake we called Indian Creek. We'd play all day, read and play games at night and pick and eat huckleberries. My grandma would say, *Look bear droppings." and I'd want to take my mosquito bitten self back inside! I felt love, relaxation and safety there.
Thank You Pat Smethers for the Image!

I laughed out loud when I realized that little fuzzy bear was putting on suntan lotion! How cute. You did a fantastic job coloring and adding bling! Most of all, I loved reading your memory. I have an affinity with water and your story made my day a little brighter.
