It's NOT burnt, it's just crispy!



Great motto for the King of the BBQ, right?! :)   My dh actually has a bbq mitt with that saying on it from someone in the family - not sure if it was a hint or just the funny bone that took over!  Either way, I'm usually running when he's bringing out anything for the grill and hide in the house!  

And a good morning to you all!  Sadly, I missed the SOTC June swap this month, hosted by the wonderful Fay.   Her theme was to create a card for the men.   I know that I personally struggle in this area, having lost dad and still feeling that loss every single day.  But I do have the most wonderful husband on the planet (and beyond!) and love to celebrate all the wonders of him.   Including the grill   :::: shudder! ::::  I thought about him when I created this month's themed card.  Time got the better of me and having a jam packed schedule at my son's school and being a one-man band, I just didn't get them done but did get her hostess sample card made.  Think I'll have to make another one of these before Father's Day and call it done!  Or .... well done .........  *grin!*

Using some very, very, very old {hoarded} dsp from SU! Jersey Shore, I kept it simple overall and can't figure out how on earth to make a card without flowers and ribbons and girly girly stuff!  How'd I do?  :) This is my very first Mo Manning card ever!  A superbly generous friend introduced me to these scrumptious immies! 



One more day til the girls out of school for summer!  WOOOHOOO!!   Put another shrimp on the Barbie! 

Big hugs!
Bigger Blessings!
