Hi friends ~ I'm so glad this is Friday!
What a week this has been - whew =)
Right now, President Obama and the First Lady are at my daughter's
High School where they have the honor of singing the National Anthem!
What an absolutely wonderful once-in-a-lifetime moment,
one she will look back on and treasure in the years to come.
Not too many people can say they met/sang for the President of the United States ...
except maybe Forest Gump, LOL!
I managed this week to reach too far back into the dryer
and burn my hand, causing a trip to the ER for 3rd degree burns.
See, housework is dangerous - we shouldn't do it! :/
I had to fill in as a chaperone for my daughters' choral group for MPA's
and watch them get a standing ovation
and straight Superiors, earning them a spot to State next month!
Go Cuda Chorus! ♥
Being Room Mom, I was able to celebrate Dr. Suess's birthday week
(my favorite week!) with cute crafts and yummy treats -
I made Lorax buckets and green eggs and ham cookies
{pictures soon!} and
Put away books in the library where I volunteer x2 per week,
all with one hand while the other bandaged one heals up ...
But sadly, one thing I didn't catch up on was my card swaps!
eeek!
This is one that is heading to my friend, Jeanette,
who is leader of the friends in the Forest swaps.
I think she's had like 110 of them by now!
Each one has a different theme, and this round was
Frolicking in the Forest.
If you look that up in the Urban Dictionary,
it says "Prancing around like a fool"
I can do that!
I can prance! I can be cool!
Oh wait, it says fool ....
=)
Anyway ... I am really, really not happy with the way my card
came out but I didn't have time to redo it or keep fretting over it =(
I so love Elzybells and knew I wanted to ink up this stamp ~
I hope swinging is considered frolicking!
On the inside, I used a sentiment from MFT.
And that's it from me today!
I hope to visit you super soon,
I'm behind in my blogging and blog round visits but I'll be by!
This is my 65th card in the 100/100 card challenge.

This card is fabulous, inside and out. You take care of that hand too :)
ReplyDeleteKelly, sweet friend... I am so sorry to hear of your injury! (((HUGS))) A dryer should NOT be able to do such a thing, no matter where the operator sticks her hand. UGH!

Wow what a week, I hope your hand is on the mend I can't imagine how painful that type of burn is. I love your cute card particularly the sentiment. It made me laugh as I am sure most peoples day starts with a whee just not the kind you are saying. Take care and have a great weekend! xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Kelly! I love the pink & green color combo as well as that sweet image you used!!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is cute as can be. I love the "whee" to go with the swinging image.
ReplyDeleteWhat an honor for your daughter. Wow! I bet she is triple excited.
I'm so sorry about your burn. Hope it is already healing....and fast.
I never have to do housework again because you said it is a hazard. LOL
So sorry to hear about your hand...I agree, housework can be dangerous!
ReplyDeleteWonderful news about your daughter's choral group. Congratulations!!
