Lydia's final HYCCT challenge is "Another Year in the Books" -- be inspired by your favorite children's book! This may be just outside the parameters of the challenge. Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit is a favorite of lots of children. He had three sisters -- Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail. Okay. The name of the character in this stamp set is Flopsy, but I don't think Beatrix Potter's Flopsy was a gardener! I thought the sentiment was appropriate for HYCCT.

I'm saying yes, this is Flopsy from the Beatrix Potter books. She's not a gardener, so much as she's a lover of carrots! The coloring on this card is lovely, and the sentiment is perfect for HYCCT. Sweet card!

I believe the story you just told would make a great sequel to the original Beatrix Potter books. I loved the rabbits in her books as much as I love Gardner Flopsy. Wonderful card, sentiment, but especially your short story.
