We are Starting a Weekly Squigglefly Challenge!

Hello everyone!
Rhonda and I are starting a weekly design team challenge over at the Squigglefly Blog!
Every Monday we will be posting a challenge to our fellow Squigglefly designers. Each week we will spotlight 3 designers........come and see what they come up with!
We are promoting the wonderful digital images over at the Squigglefly store! It is amazing what you can do with these images. You know how sometimes you will want to use a rubber stamp but it is too big or too small for the space??................this is never an issue with digital images! You size them to fit the area you want to cover!
So come on over to the Squigglefly blog on Monday May 11, and be inspired!!

Spring is Here!!!!

And so the work begins.................
Hi everyone!! Just thought I'd pop in to let you know I am still here; just busy getting the flower beds ready for the summer. Raked all the grass yesterday. It is a slow process but hoping to have things under control by the weekend. Then in another week will be able to seed the garden. There is always lots to do this time of year on the farm!
Hope to post a card at the end of the week!
Ta Ta for now!
Kim
