It's Good Friday, y'all - and don't worry, I won't go gettin' all religious on ya'....but I'm fasting today so I'm gonna be one CRANKY girl by the time 5:30 rolls around. D has a soccer game tonight though - totally looking forward to that!
This is a really good day though - wanna know why?
I'm finna tell ya'....
Remember that little color challenge card I showed you on Monday on this post HERE?
Turns out my card was pretty dang good! There were 152 people that entered, and my card was in the top 12 and made it in to Dawn's spotlight! I about choked on my diet tapioca pudding {and choking on pudding is not an easy thing to do}.
Go check out Dawn's post HERE - I'm famous!
Seriously, I feel like crying - for Dawn McVey to think I made a decent card is completely humbling.
And then to get all the comments on that card from my regular girls plus the people that have happened by since - just....man....I'm speechless - you all are just the best *sniffles*
Alright - enough of the melodrama - ha....
Here's a little card I made for my Uncle Joe. Lemme tell you a little somethin' about Uncle Joe: I don't like him. Actually, I used to LOVE him, but then he made some smart-o comment when my daughter was born and I was done with him. Well, he's been on the kidney transplant list for years now but considering he's like 60 and still an alcoholic, he probably ain't gonna be gettin' a kidney any time soon. And now my mom tells me that he's got stage 3 prostate cancer - that ain't good. So, I'm gonna send him a card - my Yaya would be so proud of me for taking the high road - and just tell him that I was thinking about him and that I wish him comfort.
BTW - Laura asked what I have been doing to my pictures to make them better/different. I edit my photos in PSP - PaintShopPro. And what I've been doing different is one extra sharpening (so 2 as opposed to 1) and then I am adjusting the brightness/contrast. Speaking of Miss Laura - she's got a swap going on her blog for DP! I signed up - don't make me swap with myself because that's just a waste of good postage - LOL Go check it out HERE.
Alright Girls - T G I F
Much love to y'all for stopping in today.

Your card was excellent and I thought that it was great that you made her list of favorites. This card is great, too. I love the flower at the button and the gorgeous button. And I'm sure your uncle will really appreciate your card.
