Sorry IÂ’m late, IÂ’ve been very busyÂ… DDÂ’s wedding was fantastic! She was simply beautiful! Saw a bear by the pool while eating lunch at the Resort in Squaw Creek and nobody believed meÂ….for a few seconds. I had fun visiting with my sister, Connie Jo9 but she had to get back home. Boohoo! Also got to see her youngest son, Shane and his girlfriend Sylvia. What fun!....
My card today, was a scrap piece of cs that I used to show my Sis how I sponged my hills using my hill stencil. Well, it looked kind of good so I added a boat, dead stump, water, a few socks and a dog, plus a few other odds and ends. Before I knew it, I had a teapot party card going onÂ….detailsÂ…
Seems Seth the sailor needs some help. His trusty dog Sirus here is pulling on the rope thatÂ’s holding the boat while some socks are drying on it. Seems somebodyÂ’s boots got wet when the boat took on water and needed to be dried. hehe
The socks idea came from Rosco dog. Something my sister learned while visiting. He hunts down socks at night before going to bed. He found hers a couple of times until she got smart and hid them good. hehe
Well itÂ’s late and IÂ’m tired. It's going to take me a few days to get back to normal. Hope you like my little card, sure didnÂ’t want to miss Teapot Tuesday! Thanks Barbara for filling inÂ…Â…TFL :0)
Hi Sis! Miss me? I miss you. Sure was nice to see you IRL. hehe
