 Weeeee!

Okay, for those of you who are very confused by this card, here is my story (to borrow a line from Mothermark - thanks, Cindy!):

My oldest son, Devan, left to serve a two-year mission for the LDS Church on Wednesday - 8/29/07 (sniff! sniff! - he will be serving in Germany - Munich/Austria area). I have vowed to send him a card a week. Upon further contemplation, I decided to send him a card with at least ONE butterfly image in it every week (that would be, um . . . 104 butterfly cards! Yikes!). The reason for the butterfly is that his nickname, since he was little, is Butterfly Boy (comes from when we were at Lake Powell and his older cousin, Nathan, started teasing him that he looked like a butterfly with his life jacket on - you know the ones with the little pillow flap behind the head? He HATED the name, but grew to love it over time).

Fast forward . . . trying to think of a card today that would have butterflies on it and that he would like (he has, after all, only been gone two days!). My kids and I are fabulous Harry Potter fans. They found some little animated shorts called "Potter Puppet Pals." They are so cute and silly! This card is an homage to one of those animated shorts (which in their later incarnations became actual puppet shows!).

Here is a link to one called "Trouble at Hogwarts":

http://www.potterpuppetpals.com/trouble.html

After watching that, check out this easter egg clip, hidden in "Trouble at Hogwarts":



Once you have watched the easter egg clip, this card will make sense (I even stamped the word "Weeee!" on the inside!)

You are now free to go and watch all of the other clips ('cause I know you want to!). My favorite one is called "Bothering Snape". Enjoy!

And that is my story!! (And this is probably the DUMBEST card I have EVER made - but Devan will love it, and that's all that matters!)

Wendy.. this is the most wonderful card because it's so personal. You put heart and soul into it and he is going to flip over it. I love the relationship you have with your son.. shows what a wonderful mother you are!
