Black and white with a dash of red

Lots of birthdays are on my calendar

for June, so I'm sure I will have more

birthday cards to show.  This one

is in my favourite colours, black and

white.  I had to add something else,

though, just to make it stand out a 

little more.

I have to say, I like how it turned out.

 I'm not super crazy about the wishes

stamp.  it's very bold on the words 

"come true"  I would like to have it not

so dark.  I don't think it looks quite right.

But then, I've never been asked to design

stamps (good thing) so I guess I have

to take what I get or find something new.

It's really old anyway.

I pulled out all the lights around the house

yesterday.  They were wired into the house

so it was a chore.  More than I thought it

would be.  They never work right anyway

and half the time aren't lit even if I

get new bulbs.  I WAS going to plant grass

seed around two sides of the house until

I remembered that I had bush stumps.

We just chopped them down but never 

dug out the stumps.  So I guess I'm back

to my original idea of vinca.  I am going

to toss out the railroad ties, though, as

they are pretty rotten, and put in some

pavers that stand upright.  My brother in

law says they last forever and don't cost much.

Speaking of Larry and Laurel, they were

over last  night and I took pictures when

they weren't expecting it.  I told them I

was going to put them on my blog, so

here they are:

writing down scores for cards.

Trying to figure out what I'm

doing.  TOO LATE!  Snap!

Happy Tuesday!
