IÂ’m so excited to congratulate Connie Jo9 for being selected as our 12th QFTD! Yahoo, girl. Despite what you think about not deserving this auspicious honor, let me just assure you that you are indeed most worthy to wear the crown. Everyone loves your cards, and weÂ’re all the recipients of some really fun and humorous comments or, in my case, infomercials.
I tried my darnedest to find one card to case from this card maker extraordinaire, but I couldnÂ’t. I went through ConnieÂ’s entire gallery and came up with one that I thought I might be able to case. 4 hours and tons of paper later, I finally decided I had to revert to my former ways and cheat once again with Connie's MMTPT IVE GOT THE HATS card. Oh, sheÂ’s got hats alright, but unfortunately, she left the most conspicuous one home. I have a strong suspicion she's doing everything possible to ensure Dog the Bounty Hunter will eventually find her. Remember everyone, we only see the card in the tree but we never see what this little sharpshooter wears while she's taking her photos, do we?
For today's challenge we were to use use an image on our card that suggests a personal story from perhaps yesteryear. If this is something you're not necessarily comfortable with, Dont Worry; it's perfectly fine.
I chose this image for the bag. You see, our Ms Russian Satellite Spy, carries her purse, albeit empty purse, everywhere she goes. One day I got a call from her and sis over there in Sacramento telling me that she even carries that thing when Mutnik forced her into hard labor. I asked Mutnik what the heck was she doing carrying that darn purse when she’s cleaning pools. Sis’s response was, “I have no idea, but all I know is she doesn’t go anywhere without it’. I asked Connie about this claim and she freely admitted she never goes anywhere ever without her purse with nothing in it.
Congrats my sweet friend. It took me another hour to finish this cheated card after we hung up.
Hugs to you, my CO sistah!
Hey everyone, please check out the crown! Isnt that so perfect for the QFTD? That was part of an amazing rak I received from Linda/Snail. Thank you so much Linda!

Russian Satellite Spy, you know you are very dear to me. Have a wonderful day!

Have you EVER heard of identity theft. Whatever!!! My purse and I are one. Besides, my crazy sister leaves her work truck open, unlocked and just begging for people to steal her blind. I am starting to think I should not have sent you any pictures of me since you are displaying them to the world!!! I do look quite good in this hat though... Thank you for making me Queen. I am so thrilled and already feel the power. I am in the process of requesting a chit chat with the President since I only have a week to do so!!! Time for this old lady to get to work!!!
This card, Annie Jo, is AWESOME!!! I love your cards and you made one very special over the top card for me and I appreciate it more than you can ever imagine. You are so sweet and a very treasured friend I found on SCS. You have blessed me with comfort and laughter at times that I needed it the most. You better copy this one because soon I will be back to my senses and the words will fly again. I can only show this side for a little while you nut!!! It is starting....
By the way, I told you that calling me the Russian Spy Leader would put me on the no fly list.....well they searched my bags on my return from visiting mutnik. They actually took my two, SEALED bottles of garlic powder in the store bag with receipt and opened them and tested them for explosives. I am happy to say they were safe and I was allowed to board the plane.....

OMG, Connie Jo wants to be found by Dog the Bounty Hunter. I think I know what is in her purse....pepper spray so she can knock him for a loop and drag him home. Sorry, Connie Jo. That's probably not true. LOL
Anne, what a hat...wish I could find one just like it to make a picture of myself for a new avatar. Good choice, Anne, for Connie Jo to wear the crown this week. Love the crown Snail sent you...just perfect. Anne, you're a therapist now?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????

Oh Connie Jo, when you get that yellow T-shirt, perhaps you may want to invest in a little better support system for the 'girls' while you're at it.
Anne, what a hoot! Love this card - what a fantastic 'photo' of CJ9 you have shared with us. Love her hat. Need to find out where she shops. And the little crown in the corner - perfecto!! Polka-dots and some great ribbon and we have an awesome AJ Original. I'll get to the QFTD12 as soon as DH finishes painting my "Rubber Room". Hopefully before the weekend is over! Hugs to you once again for getting this QFTD thing going - so great to have a way to say "thanks for the encouragement" to some of those wonderfully uplifting commenters we have here in the gallery.

I did not know any one else owned this stamp! Thanks for some new coloring ideas. This is fantastic as she does look great in yellow with the black and white for a calming bg. Not everyone can wear yellow you know. Thanks for the challenge and inspiration.
