Late breaking news! I just found out the 4th-of-July card that I made with the Timeless Textures stamp set was selected as an Artist Pick at Hand Stamped Sentiments! I want to thank the good folks at HSS for picking my card out of the really great cards that were submitted. When you have a chance – go check them – and the other winners! – out, okay? You can click right here! If you want to see how I made this card, just click the picture! 🙂

Happy Hawwmp Day (I checked the calendar – it’s for sure Wednesday!), y’all! 🙂 Which means the week is half over – which means there’s only two more work days ‘afore I get to head for the home-drome! Of course that also means I should be busy packing my stuff back into the boxes and totes I brought it here in. Or, for you grammarians….the boxes and totes in which I done brung it!
I have a quick – and sorta sad! – update about Duck Duck. It appears that, although wild geese mate for life, if domestic geese do the same, well….it’s with other geese. Appears they don’t stick with humans for good.

Guess she got her chopped cabbage and watermelon and duck crumbles and cracked corn and showers when it was hot and….sob….just….SOB….LEEEEEEEFFFFFFTTTTTT!!!! (I don’t know how to make a crying emoticon, so pretend there’s one of those right here!).
Maybe she just misses me so terribly that…no, Mary. No. You know what they say…if you love something, let it waddle away. If it loves you back, she’ll return.
Sniff…..
Give me a minute to collect myself.
sniff…
Okay. I’m good. I’m pulling up my big girl panties and getting on with my life.
Today’s card is kind of a fun one – I actually chuckled out loud while I was making it (before Wayne called, that is). I played with a couple of challenges – and let me show you the first one before I show you the card.
Just Us Girls had a photo challenge. JUGS #353 was all about golf.

So – I used some of the Large Number and Large Letter Framelits. And some Labeler Alphabet. And I made a Guy Greetings kinda card. Take a look-see:
