February - Whaaat. It can't be! I lost several weeks in January being sick but this is ridiculous. A whole month of this year gone already. Oh my goodness. Well get ready for this - I played Bingo last night and was out until 10:45 pm. I have become a social butterfly!!  Seriously, my SIL has gone before and wanted me to come with her. It was at a Moose place and we did have fun so that is my first public outing.

This card today (using pattern paper) is for my next door neighbor who I think is turning 83. I used SSS wavy scalloped stitches die and the balloon dies from them too. The popped up balloon has wink of Stella to brighten it up. Be kind to one another.

Good morning Brenda! I know what you mean about January gone in a flash and now we wait for the groundhog to see his shadow (or not!) Last week I took that Online Intermediate Watercolor class and boy did that consume my time...that and going to my granddaughters volleyball tournaments that last all day long, I am exhausted when I get home...so I perused your last few days and I am happy to read you are getting out and about! And your mojo is working great because your cards are awesome! Thank you for sharing your bit of life here...it is good to read how you are doing! Have wonderful week and hope this is the beginning if spring for you...warm days sound good to me!! Heart Hugs! Colleen

I am enamored with this awesome striped and wavy scalloped card, Brenda! Your neighbor will love it, too! And, I am delighted to hear that you went out to Bingo and enjoyed yourself! You'll be hard to keep down now that you've seen the town!! (I think that's a song, at least up in my head it is!!) Love and hugs, Darnell
