Yesterday was so stressful and the SCS site was so slow that I did not get this card posted until today. My middle name these days is late.....and I am never late. I always show up at least 20/25 minutes early so does mutnik!! The only thing our mother taught us was to be on time and boy are we!!! I had to change dentists because my long time dentist is not in my dental plan and right now it is very difficult to pay the extra money. Well I changed dentists and made an appointment for cleaning. I have this new appointment calendar and unlike calendars I am used to, this one starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. However, it also combines days at the end of the month if there is just one carryover. Are you getting the picture.....My appointment was for Monday the 31st but at glancing at my calendar, I showed up one week and 1/2 hour early. That is a record for even me!!!! They were so worried about me, they sent an appointment notification four times....2 by email; and 2 by phone!!!! They even called me by name when I walked in. I am sure I was 'discussed' after my first dry run to their office!!! So I am very pleased that I am only one day late on this challenge!!!!
I used a digi image and colored it with prisma colored pencils and gamsol. Embossed second layer with music cuttlebug folder.
All dressed up and ready to sing so I thought I would join the Africa teapot party. Can't waste being dressed up and no where to go. Besides I am quite the country crooner.

Wow, that's quite the sorry. The difference between yours and mine is that your's are real and mine are fictitious. Yikes, what a life you have over. New dentist, new calendar, slow SCS. could things get any worse? I think not. I see you're still hugging that same ole tree. I guess you are fearless with Dog still on the prowl for your whereabouts. Such a fun image and pretty neat papers too. Geez, you ole bag, get it together, will you?

Bwahaha! You were early! Those people are thinking...wow, a teeth cleaning was really, really, important to that lady! Giggle! You goof!
This little card was worth the wait though! I know even getting it up loaded was a job well done! Yikes! Stripes! Zeke's changing the face of the jungle population for sure! Before long we will have a elephant girl band! I love this in pink! And what a wonderful picture! I saw that cool tree trunk just outside the rock concert in Africa....I thought it would be a great place to take a picture too but I decided against it when I noticed the four lions snoozing in its branches......did you see them? Connie......are you there??? Connie??????
Snort! Hey sis, you should warned Connie about those lions!!!

You're late, you're late! Does that make you like the Mad Hatter ... late to the teaparty?
Naw, you're not late Connie Jo! And would you look at this adorable card that you brought with you. Love that image and it is colored just beautifully. Tree must've been extra happy with that cheerful image sharing company with him.
Darling card in pinks and your Stickles look amazing!

Firstly I think this card is PRICELESS!!! You can't help but laugh at that Ellie!! Love the colours and your colouring looks fab!!!
Secondly - your story about the dentist made me laugh a second time --- I hope things sort themselves out and you get used to the new calendar quickly!!!
