Hi Friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I didn't really do anything much so this afternoon I took my little boy out for a drive. Just a drive. He loves to go for rides in the car, and sometimes he and I will just hop in the car and go for a spin just to be out of the house.
I remember growing up in Hawaii, and my dad would do that for us. We'd just hop in the car, and head nowhere in particular ... just wherever the wheels takes us is where we went. I loved it! We'd take long drives out to the ocean where the roads were not paved, it was just rocks. I'd sit in the back of the truck in the open with the salty wind just blowing ... I loved it!
And once in awhile, I'd knock on the glass of the truck window and ask my dad to stop the truck so I could pick a wild flower (as long as it was nowhere near spiritual ground ... oh gosh ... we are soooo superstitous in Hawaii! LOL!) And I've found that I've carried those beliefs over with me to Vegas. LOL! I will not move a stone unless it is the stones I walk upon!!
Anyway ... how did I get off track here?! Well, this is my card for The Sugar Bowl Sketch 29. Thank you Tiet for such a lovely sketch!!! We also had to include 3 flowers, 2 brads, and 1 button. My button is under the ribbon.

Elise, I love your story of how you just drove your son around! My son loves to see things from the car...nature especially and is not one for all those handheld gadgets...he is my sweet nature boy! It just melts my heart when he picks me flowers, even the dandelions that he loves so much!! Thanks for sharing a little bit about your life. You are so sweet.
Ooops, I almost forgot to comment on your card!!! LOL....it is another beautiful creation! I love making those easel cards as much as you do I think! We have the same love for the Elisabeth Bell cuties too! You've done such a stunning job with all the flowers and embellies on this one. Another masterpiece my friend.
