Rose of Sharon plus Awareness Freebie

 

I have to tell you I had one heck of a day yesterday.  I needed to go to the store and to get some money to pay a neighbor that mows my yard.  I grabbed my purse and picked up the dog (she leaves me little presents sometimes when I leave her home alone), locked the door and as soon as I closed it, realized I didn’t have my keys…or my cell phone!

My sis and my mom both have keys so I knocked on the neighbor’s door to call one of them.  I have used only a cell phone for almost 10 years now so I don’t know ANYONE’s phone numbers.  My mom and sis both now exclusively use cell phones so their numbers are unlisted.  I couldn’t remember what the name of my sis’ company was so after two wrong numbers, I reached her company.  Yay!!!  I had to wait until she got off work to let me in so I spent the afternoon visiting and watching Dr. Phil with the neighbor.  Not such a bad afternoon after all!!!  Except that I was late getting my card done!

5-26 rose of sharonToday I used the lovely Rose of Sharon (the file name is Petunia) image from the McMahon Vintage line.  Isn’t she so pretty!  Now on to the remaining images from this release.  It’s kind of a slow week.
