Exciting Summer

My son, Patrick paid us a visit yesterday on his way to the Piscah National Forest near Asheville, NC. He will be doing trail maintenance in the forest for his summer job. After his two week training, he is pumped about this opportunity! At 23, I think he has found something that he will enjoy doing for a living. Now, I have to admit that the Mom in me doesn't much like to think of my son on a search and rescue team, but it is an honorable profession. Patrick has always wanted to help others. This will allow him to do that in the extreme way! My little hot shop skate boarder has grown up

Now, on to my paper crafts. I wanted to show a card that I made a while ago, but have never posted. I actually sold this one and will have to depart with it tomorrow. This was my first attempt with the Greenhouse Garden set from Stampin' Up. I must admit that I totally cased this card, but it is so lovely! Hope you enjoy seeing it!

Memorial Day weekend has begun with a trial 5k walk to prepare for the real thing on June 12 when I will be walking for the cure in honor of my friend, Cynthia Groff. She and her family are so special to me. Her cancer has become active again recently and her doctors don't give her much more time. I count it an honor to walk for her.
