Lucky

Today's card was suppose to be for the PPA challenge. Yikes! Missed it again. Oh Well.Little League was more important yesterday.

This card is destined for greatness. You know that Jason Mraz song "Lucky"....

I dedicate that to my husband, Big Daddy.

Lucky I"m in love with my best friend,

Lucky to have been where I have been,

Lucky to be coming home again.

Lucky we're in love in everyway,

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed,

Lucky to be coming home....today.

I took a couple of the kids to a family reunion, got back and saw him for about an hour before he had to leave on a business trip. He works crazy hours, travels lots, but is a wonderful man. This card is for him.

Lucky to have you, Honey!

Top O' the Morning

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I spend another day in Kindergarten yesterday. I have tried to make myself a permanent fixture in the K, but with layoffs and such, it looks like I will remain "retired" and a regular sub. Oh well. One of my favorite classes is Mrs. B. She is completely creative, artistic and a great teacher to boot. Last year on St. Patrick's Day she really when to town. Student's work on the wall was hung upside down, gold coins were left on the student's desks, one little girl's water turned green in her water bottle. But maybe the funniest was her husband came in and took off his shoe and sock and showed the kids how the leprechaun had painted his foot green. Hilarious.

Today's card is for Mrs. B and was inspired by this little guy.

Isn't he cute?!

I made this card for Mrs. B.

Hope she enjoys the day.

If anyone is interested, I have a pattern for the hat and directions for the paper piecing.

Lovely Lassie

Today's card in another vintage image download from the internet. This lovely lassie and lad were just to cute to pass up. I added some polkadot background and cream ribbon. It's for a teacher friend Erin O'S. She is the most Irish gal I know, so I thought she'd enjoy. She was my teaching partner for 3 weeks when I was doing a long term subbing in Kindergartner. Oye! I forgot what the first week of K was like! I should have gotten paid extra that week. She was so great. Anyways, I left it in her mail box this afternoon. Hope it makes her Wednesday delightful.

Vintage St. Patrick's Girl
