It's a spring thing...I think

The weather FINALLY warmed up here in California. YAY!! I won't deny that I have that nasty Seasonal Affective Disorder. I need sunshine. And heat. It makes for a gloomy Lisa when I don't have it. So, I'm thrilled when it warms up. My desktop thermometer thingy says that it's currently 79 degrees. Oh yes. 79!! Of course, being as that I'm from Nevada I still have on sweats. But that's another story. ;)

Anyway, I decided to attempt a card since I've been sooo lacking in creativeness. Nothing fancy-schmancy. Just a little ol' something I could whip up in a hurry. But something that reflects my semi-state-of-sort-of-happiness that I am that it's SPRING!! Free Smiley Courtesy of www.millan.net

Without further ado. My card:


I like it. This card is just a rainbow of butterflies. It makes me happy. :)

Hope wherever you are, that YOU are happy, enjoying a little sun, looking forward to the weekend and that no one has played any weird April Fools tricks on you.
