Monday Morning Fun

Happy Monday dear friends!!  It's a lovely day here in Southwestern Montana!  The skies are partly cloudy and rain is forecast for today.  I was able to get out of the house early this morning for my run and what a blessing it was to enjoy the calm before the storm!  School has been out for a week and I am so happy to say that I have made some very positive life changes in this short period of time! I am eating very healthy and exercising most every day.  I've lost 4.5 lbs. just with those small changes...whoo hooo!  That thrills me beyond measure!  I am finally realizing that I have spent so much time taking care of my kids and worrying about them, that I have let myself go terribly.  My health is most important.  Reading and relaxing have moved up a couple of notches on my priority list as well as getting outside and enjoying the day!  I also working very hard to be ready for the opening of the Farmer's Market.  I'm not going to have as much done as I would have liked, but this will be a learning process and we'll see how it goes!  Lord willing, it will be a profitable summer and I will be ready to take on the school year when it arrives!

This morning I made the third card in my Garden Variety Little Bitty Bird card set.  This time I also incorporated the tree from Merry Little Christmas and sentiment from Wildflower Garden as well.

 I just love this sentiment.  Old friends are precious and such an important part of our lives.  In fact, they own a place deep in our heart! Thank the Lord for good friends!!

I added some lace to the bucket using inspiration from Melissa Phillips, who is absolutely amazing by the way, and I added a small little bow to make this little card as sweet as can be!
