Hi All!! Thanks so much for all the well wishes and sweet emails - they really touched me!! These last few days have been really stressful. My son also arrived this weekend from the Academy so we have really been juggling and really hope to have everything resolved this week! I also thought that maybe getting back to my stamping would provide me with some therapy and it really did - it felt great to stamp again!!! And, since today is Whimsy Challenge day, I have something really fun to share!! The challenge this week is a color challenge using oranges, red, and yellows and since these are three of my faves to use, I had fun with this one!!! I made a fun little congrats card using the really cute Whimsy Monkey - I just love this little guy and his cheeky little face!! I really enjoyed making this card and when I was done, I felt better so I am glad I was able to take the time to stamp!! I really hope you all will join in this week for the Whimsy Challenge - there are always fabulous giveaways for the winner and you do not have to have Whimsy Stamps to play along (although you get an extra chance at winning if you DO use them *wink*) And, hop on over and see what the DT gals did this week, they made some amazing cards for this color challenge!! Thanks for stopping by, I hope to catch up on blogging over the next few days although I am working every day this week and will want to spend time with my son in the evenings! I really do appreciate you taking the time to visit me, your comments always make me smile!
