Lollipop Lily!

Today is going to be a quick post! I was going to make a card last night but I decided I was TOO tired so I went to bed instead (before midnight), so the card I'm sharing today is one I made last week for a swap.

Lollipop Lily.

I was in a monthly swap at Splitcoast for two years, I believe....this is our final month. Like a good sit-com....it must come to an end. It was a good two years and I got to meet people I never would have ever had a chance to meet, so thank you Janette and girls! I thought it would be appropriate to make a Thank You card for the final swap.

I found an old scrap of paper that fell out of my scrap box (I think it is from a DCWV Stack a few years back) and I decided that the colors would be fun and a combination I had not done before. Pink, Green, and Orange....and BRIGHT! I even found some cute thread in the sewing box that matched the pink perfectly and "tied" it all together nicely! My swap cards don't have the ribbon. I had planned all along to make them with the ribbon, but I glued down the patterned paper and completely forgot about the ribbon....so they are without!

My son has a baseball game tonight (which I will miss), and my daughter has a softball game out of town as well so I'd better get some stuff done around here before I have to go! Oh! I almost forgot....my son hit his first REAL home run Tuesday night! He was soo excited. His first at bat of the game, he hit a double...it bounced over the fence, so it was an automatic double. The second at bat....he hit it out into the parking lot and over the cars! He was soo thrilled! First one of his life....and first one of the season! My daughter has hit 2 'home runs' and 1 grand slam. They were in-the-park home runs, they went out quite far and rolled to the fence and the little girls had to run to get it, so not a REAL home run, but still very exciting!

Thanks for stopping by!
