1. Does anybody know where my little bag of white sand is?
2. I was headed in the direction of a beach scene with these leaves and clouds but I couldn't find my sand to make a beach scene with! I found my seashells but no sand!
3. Without sand I tried to make a beach scene just with sponging and the shells and it turned into one of life's simple failures!
4. Then I thought I would put a monkey on here because to me these look like monkey leaves but I thought I am not really sure a monkey is one of life's simple pleasures! It might be monkey's are one of life's simple annoyances!
5. So, here is my card and its up to you what you want the simple pleasure to be cuz I have no clue!!
6. I also have no clue what possessed me to do that thing with the twine! Its safe to say one thing led to another!

Lovely and I'm sorry I can't help you find your sand, but thanks for getting the cloud tutorial up on your blog. You know my next one is going to have clouds...knowing me, probably storm clouds! Thank you.

LOve it!! Love the "thing" with the twine. All those cloud layers are wonderful. And green leaves and beautiful skies are indeed some of life's simple pleasures!
