Over the weekend my mother asked me to make a funny card for her to send to one of her friends. Now, she ran into this friend in Walgreens the other day, she hadn’t seen her for a few months, and spent 3 hours talking to her. You need to keep in my mind, that they never left the aisles of Walgreens — they stood there in the aisle for 3 hours and talked! Mom had been by here, left around 3:00 to stop off at the drugstore, and called me at 6:30 and said “I just now got home, I ran into . . . and we stood there and talked for 3 hours.” If you can imagine — I love to chat, my mother is a talker, my kids are loud, my sister is a talker — when we are ALL together the noise decibels are ridiculous! Sometimes you need to tap the other on the arm, and say . . . sssshhhhhhhhh, bring it down a little!

Anyhoo, mom wanted a funny birthday card to send to this friend. We discussed what she wanted, and this is what I came up with. I gave it to her on Sunday, and I’m not too sure she likes it, but I think she’ll send it anyway, or I’ll make another one just in case.

I hope I get this recipe right, I don’t have the card in front of me and can’t find the list of ingredients used just right now. The stamp is Jogging Suit Lovelle from Art Impressions. Paper was Color me Silly by BasicGrey, Basic Black and Green Galore. Ink (watercolored with reinkers) Green Galore, Blush Blossom, Real Red, Lovely Lilac, Grey (WWC), and gold metallic pens. The sentiment was generated on the computer. A little touch of ribbon finishes off the card! I don’t know if you can read the sentiment, it does say — In honor of your Birthday, I’m not wearing socks and I have on matching underwear! This is the quote mom loved, just had to find a stamp to go with it!

I hope everyone has a great day today, I’m gonna try to get some things stamped!
