Good morning! 
Hope you had a good day yesterday. It was rainy here, but I still spent the morning running with my girls. There was some last minute shopping that needed to be done for me. Kate needed to get some supplies for her new classroom (Yeah for my middle school educator) and Mallory needed some stuff for her sorority meeting she’s got coming up. In and out of the rain we ran, until at lunch I was soaked to the skin and cold. 
I had asked Mallory about a pedicure earlier in the week, as I had never had one before . . . until today. Because Mallory told me the chairs were heated, I treated myself and the girls to pedicures at a little place next to where we had lunch. I can’t believe that I have NEVER treated myself to a pedicure before, but I can guarantee that it will not be the last. Just look at these great footsies!
I asked if I could have a discount because I only had 9 toes. They only laughed at me and continued on. Hmmpf!
Anyhoo, after my nap 
(I was sooooo cold with a major headache and wrapped up in a blanket . . . that’s all it took) I was feeling pretty good. I headed down to the studio and wanted to stamp, but just didn’t know with what. Following my plan of using stamps that have not seen ink ever or for a long time, I pulled out my new Wings of Friendship.
I colored the image with markers, misted with water and then stamped on hot press watercolor paper. I was beginning to sponge the edges of the background and realized that it probably had a white core, so I decided to sand instead. I left the sentiment off the front, as I realized that this would make and fabulous all occasion card. I’ll stamp something on the inside when I get ready to send it.
