A quick post as I get back to "normal"

DH missed me. After a vacation away from him, and a wonderful time spent with family and friends, I was glad to see his smiling face. And it is nice to be missed. He wants to go out and run some errands, and get our life back to normal, so I have to keep this short. Well, short for me anyway... I promise to get to commenting once I'm back home and have the first load of laundry in the washer!

While on vaca, I actually did make some cards. lol! In between the fun and laughter, that is.... Saw the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches, and had to make a card. I'll squeak in just under the deadline, if I get this posted.


And my card looks like this:


It's slightly adapted, but I can still see the sketch. The sentiment stamps were from some of the other ladies at our getaway, and I forgot to write the names of the sets down. The "stars" are from  SC, and the pink mat is from my scrapbox. A myriad of inks and enamel dots finished the card. And I've got to run. Promise to get back to you all later....happy dances everyone.
