This is my card for today's limited supply challenge.
This is my story!
1. Meet Big Butt Bertie M & M lover. She is the sweetest, nicest, most wonderful SCS stamper ever!
2. She has one fault and that is she loves, absolutely loves M & M's. Quite often she has been heard to say....if I don't quit eating M & M's all the time, I am gonna end up with a really big butt.
3. I think I might have been responsible for giving Big Butt Bertie her nic name probably because it rhymed with Gertie! Butt....I have met her in person and she is a skinny butt! As a matter of fact, the day I hung out with her, she couldn't keep her new jeans up, they kept falling off her skinny butt!
4. So this Big Butt Bertie M & M Lover card is to give Charlene (Lilluvsstampin) happy thoughts from today until August 19th when she has surgery on her hand.
5. She is gonna need some happy thoughts because she won't be able to stamp for 6 weeks, maybe more! That is gonna kill her (and us!) But at least she will have her beloved M & M's!! If you would like to send Charlene a card when she has her surgery, pm me for her address! I think she could use the happy thoughts!
6. I asked the photographer...does this look like a big butt? He said no, it looks like two light bulbs! Dang it!

Cindy, with your title, Happy Thoughts, I immediately saw 2 light bulbs...but I see both now! What a nice reminder for Charlene's upcoming surgery, this is cute and clever as all get out!
Charlene, I will so so so miss your gallery...maybe you should save up your cards over the next few days and post one every week so we don't all go into withdrawal...and of course I'll be praying for you!

Sort of like the light dawns on Marblehead???? no - maybe not - Well - at first I thought it was two colorful lightbulbs too -- but as I read 'the rest of the story' realized it was Berties big butt as she is leaning over her garden..... I've seen these on red neck's lawns somewhere in my travels!! ..... (!!!??!!) anyway - very CLE-VAH!!! as usual Miss Cindy!!!
I'll be getting a card off to Charlene - yikes no stamping for 6 weeks??? that's worse than having surgery (well - maybe not!!)

OMGOSH!!! You are just too funny! My first thought was hot air balloons, butt, I can totally see a lady's rearend, bending over in her flower garden! My DH asked why I was laughing hysterically, so I showed him--he said two light bulbs (men really have no imagination), except when it comes to telling fish stories!

Sorry Gertie, but I have to agree with the photographer on this one... I thought they were light bulbs, too! But thank God you put the whole story with it so we know better! Charlene will love it, especially if you send it with a couple of bags of her fave!

Now, any one who puts M and M's on a butt is OK in by book!!! Just gotta have a little Diet Coke to go along with the M and M's to make life perfect!!! Charlene will love this...thanks for letting us know about her surgery...gotta get a card to her, too!!
