Yes, it's True...

Shock of all shocks.... I MADE A CARD!!! (Try not to fall over or if you feel faint then have a neighbor nearby to call 9-1-1 for ya.)

I know it's been forever and a day, but what can I tell you? When the mojo is gone? It's GONE! With all the stuff that's been going on I just haven't had the creativity flowing and had just felt, well, creative-less.

Anyway, my dad had a birthday. So I could have just gone out and bought a card, but that just would've been weird & wrong. Hence, today's card. Even though his birthday was the 22nd (yes, it's BELATED!! Cut me some slack, he's at least getting a hand-made card, alright?!) I figured better late than never.

I think he'll like it. And I did work hard at it. Put a lot of love into it, too. Because I'm just sweet like that. ;)

Hope you find it kind of groovy, too:



Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

just stopped by to tell you i am CRACKING UP over your comment on leslie's blog about farmer mike and the tassels!!!

and then when i got here ♥WOW♥ there is the best DAD birthday card ever...in all its krafty, collagey glory! speaking of cards, the one that is two posts down DOES INDEED exude hapiness and i have saved it to try and make MY OWN VERSION...which sounds like a great idea except that me and a PLAIN WHITE BACKGROUND will last approximately 15 nanoseconds, in fact i can sort of sense all my white cardstock getting smudges on RIGHT NOW and i haven't even TOUCHED IT YET! (so super- mega- extra KUDOS to you for your excellence in both design and NEATNESS!!!) ♥!
