Stampin' Up! Butterfly Basics

Hey strangers!    I swear I thought I'd be posting a ton while Mom was here.  I was thinking I'd be stamping away...but no!   Not at all.   We've been busy bees and then Mom got sick and had to go to the doctor.  Double ear infection, sinus infection, and crazy allergies.  I guess the Texas pollen was not very nice to her.  :(   She's feeling some better today, so I hope she's on the mend.  Anyway... one of my stamping friends has been working and volunteering to get her Master Gardener certification and just got a recognition last week.  I wanted to send a card to her because I know working a "real" job and doing that in her spare time is a lot of work.  I made a nature/vintage/shabby chic card and I hope she likes it.  It's not "me", but I think it's her which is what matters, right?!

Today's project was a butterfly garden!   I was so excited about making this and I can't wait to watch it grow.  Laila took Jason's gloves and went to help work on it for a while, but most of her fun was squirting us and herself with her new squirt guns.  lol
