Hugs and Flowers

I like the colors I used on this card. They just caught my eye the day I made this card. They aren't typical colors for me.
There was great excitement in our backyard today. Princess discovered a Gopher turtle there. It was her first encounter with a turtle and she was very intrigued. She was disappointed when it wouldn't move. :)

Blessings
  • Lydia's help while both me and Mark have been feeling bad.
  • My camera. It's fun to be able to grab it and capture a memory of something like Princess and the turtle.
  • Our rather flexible lifestyle.
Have a fantastic day!!!

Inky hugs!
Shelly

What a sweet card. I love that flower and the cute way you attached the sentiment!

Where do you live that you just "find" turtles? how cool. One time in San Antonio I found a tiny turtle no more than a few inches. I assume it was a baby. It was in a ditch where the water overflows during rainy times. Nothing nearby here in Austin

We are blessed to live next to the woods on a boy's ranch in Florida, Holley. It's a little piece of rural life in the midst of a rapidly growing town. We get all sorts of critters and creepy crawlies around and sometimes in our home. I could definitely do without the in the home part, but love watching them outside. I even saw a rare Florida panther out back one day. My big back windows in my craft room are a real source of joy.
