When life gives you lemons ...make lemonade!

 Hello!

Are you ready for the weekend?

Are you ready for school to start?

For me that's a mixed blessing,

as my grandsons will be in school all day,

as will their three foster brothers!!

BUT it will surely be quieter around here!!

LOL  ;)

Yes, I have another card to share with you today!

I made this card using Mo Manning's

digital image "Lemons."

Look at her struggling with that big

bag of lemons, the pitcher and spoon!!

Oops!  She dropped one. Uh oh!!

Cheryl has this to say about Silly Sally:

" How could you not love her!

Sally is a little bit of a tomboy and a whole lot of sass!

She loves to do everything!

She's a definite nature lover and adores her little teddy bear.

Sally is a little mischievous at times too, but that's ok.

We all have an ornery side.

She's my kind of gal

. . .and I know you're just going to fall in love with her."
