Good morning, and Happy Weekend! It is cold and....yup, rainy here in Missouri. Hope that wherever you are, the sun is shining, and blessing you with warmth!
Thanks for being so patient with me during this crazy, hectic month of May. Most of you know that my DH is transitioning from a job that is mostly 4.5 hours from home to a job 30 minutes from home. While that is a blessing, we have had to make weekly trips out of town this month to load trailers with things to bring back, empty job trailers, etc. I'm certainly not complaining, and happy to be of help, but it's left me very little time to craft. So thank you for being patient! June 1st will be the first time in many, many years, that DH will be home every single night. It's been years since we've been able to sit on the porch with a glass of tea and we are looking forward to some time together.
I have a very simple card for you today, featuring another of Laurie's pre-colored images from Doodle Pantry. These images have been a life saver for me this month! They are so beautifully colored, and easy to create with. This is from the Noah's Ark set, that you can find here. The background paper is from the Baby Basics Paper Pack, also found here.
There is still time to get a card in the Doodle Pantry challenge! Check out all the details here!
Have a wonderful weekend! I'll be by to visit as many of you as I can - today holds a full day for us - we will be putting new office furniture together and painting walls in DH's new office!
Hugs and blessings,
Patti J.
