I'm waving hello! I'm Katie Bug on a Swing and I'm going to jump off, make a wish, land on my left wrist and make Heather take me to urgent care to get it X-rayed and then let them send bills for her to pay after the deductible is paid.
Whoops- sorry- I guess I was having a flashback to spring break! Actually the image was drawn by Jackie Matthews for Squigglefly. The background cardstock was a RAK but I loved it with this image. The strategically placed buttons (code for camouflaging something you are not supposed to see) were colored with Copics. The center of the flower is a Rain Dot (Fiskars) which I love because they are semi-transparent so they kind of glow. The sentiment is a sticker from SRM (I blabbed about them here.) The ribbon is from Offray and looked like a much closer match in my dimly lit craft room.
Today we had new garage doors installed! When we bought out house in the fall my husband and I decided to replace them in the spring. Our house was built in the 80's and needed a little pick-me up. We ordered them and they arrived faster than promised, in fact they called yesterday to tell us they had come in and that they could install them this morning. So we have gone from drab beige wooden garage doors to white aluminum doors. Even my daughter was excited when she came home from school and said how much better our house looks (since she didn't ask me for anything immediately following the compliment she must have been sincere!)
The installed arrived EARLY- 7:30- and my husband had an EARLY meeting so we were up EARLY today. As my husband was leaving, the installed arrived and I stepped out into the garage so see if my husband had any last minute instructions when I noticed a puddle of water next to the garage wall. Since I can go from calm to calamity in seconds when it comes to home repairs, I envisioned us having to take down the entire wall to fix the problem. But we didn't.
Wanna know why?
Because the spill was actually a bottle of bubbles that leaked because my daughter hadn't fastened the cap tightly enough
Yup- the only repair at my house today was the new garage doors ;)
Thanks for visiting!

Cute card - and excellent story. Laughing about the bubbles!
I'm with you when it comes to calm to calamity in seconds I worry about the car everytime we park it. I forget that now in Spain the air conditioning in the car leaves a puddle of water behind. Grrrr. Worry worry worry. Still your little girlie on the swing has no worries. I will have to check her out.
