Really, have you ever seen just ONE snail ever? Just look at my card, they all wanted to go to the Tour de France with Muddermark and her teapot gang. Check it out. Sorry, gotta run. Have a flight to catch....but briefly here's the haps..........
I got so excited when I read where Cindy was taking the teapot party today that I almost pee'd my pants! LOL I have been watching the Tour de France with Lance all weekend. Those guys are animals! Made my card into a scene. The scenery over there is gorgeous!
My scene was done on w/c paper. I used salt box house for the top part, drew the wall and street. Stamped my bicycle. On a separate piece of w/c paper, I stamped my snails from various parts of other stamps, colored and clear eb them then cut them out.
Put the whole scene together and put the Go T.T.T. sign in the front lawn. Can hardly wait to give this race a try, but I am also glad my bike has a basket because I'll probably end up shopping instead!
Quick joke: Snail buys a car with one stipulation must have a big S painted on it. Little puzzled, salesman asks why? Snail replys, because when I drive down the street I want them to say "See that S-car-go!" Get it....escargot! LOL I know lame joke.....TFL and reading my joke! :0)
Hi Sis! Call me and I'll explain the joke to you.
