Happy Happy weekend, everyone! I am grateful to have a day of 'leisure' - lol! I am so looking forward to getting some serious crafting done. Does that ever happen for you? It seems that my good intentions turn into distractions and 'putting out fires' instead of relaxing with my beloved paper, copics and goodies! I have a couple of stamps that I am itching to ink up and I also have some stamping to do for a swap! Fun, fun, fun : ) These are the things that make up a great weekend for me. It also helps if the sun is shining, but it's not hot.
I am at the place in my life where I have the dreaded hot flashes. I had a complete hysterectomy 6 months ago, so I was immediately menopausal - ugh! You know, it's not that bad though. Here's a story that my DH thinks is SO FUNNY - not!!!! When I told him that I was cold, he said, "Well, just have a hot flash." Ha ha ha ha...do you see a smile on my face? It would be much funnier if it was him we were talking about. That would be hilarious - hee hee!
CLP = Crafting Life's Pieces. Have you checked out this Monthly Sketch Challenge Blog? Chelsea's sketches are so much fun!!! You may have noticed that Chelsea had a DT Call awhile ago. She now has completed that task and is ready to introduce you to her brand spankin new Design Team! You should see the amazing talent she has all in one place!!! Honestly, I'm still pinching myself because I get to create alongside these giants of creativity in blogland - woo hoo!!! Such an honor... thank you so much, Chelsea!
Here's my card for May's Challenge #25 at CLP
This is Springtime Hannah with Butterflies. I won this stamp in a blog candy from Michelle at The Pixie Cottage. Thank you, again, Michelle! I love her : ) Isn't she the cutest ever? I used foam dots to pop up the image to create a more layered look...

LOL - *smiling* because of the hot flashes story. Thanks for sharing,- got to see the humour in things, even though it's oneself someone's joking about...! Might not be easy always when it happens - there and then - but afterwards it's good to be able to smile from it. :)
Your card - is just adorable! Love the summer feeling it gives. And I just got to love your perfect colouring of this beautiful image!!
Happy to work with you and the rest of the ladies on the CLP team!
Hope your weekend is good and relaxing. Hugs, Hege :)

P.S. The remark your husband made about you getting cold and him saying, just have a hot flash - LOL! THAT was hilarious...I laugh now because my hot flash days aren't as often, though I'm menopausal and some days you just gotta laugh! That was a good one - I needed that today! :-)

It's a pleasure to be on the team with you dear, and yes, it would be quite hilarious if men had hotflashes, then maybe they'd be a bit more merciful towards us women!!
Take Care,
