First Day of School....

My Kids are back to school,  they had a great day!

I did too....a little lonely.

I don't think the dog knew what to do.

She has been so busy watching

her "Babies" all summer.

They kept her BUSY!!

so today she slept all day...under the couch.

I napped too! I was up late washing clothes.

After my nap I finshed this card!

I started it last week

It's just so crazy in the summer time

and hard to spend time in my studio.

I am happy to be back Blogging

and Stamping!!
