I love this set of stamps from Flourishes - it is entitled Zinnias. I've seen some gorgeous cards stamped with these images. This card is for the CCEE1139 challenge - to use a stamp, postcard, postmark, etc. I used a Whimsy mini stamp and die and this particular one says "Best Wishes" and the postmark across says "for you".

Feeling better today - not quite so tired. The doctor was right - he said by this week-end I would begin feeling more like myself (wait, is that bad or good - I have to think about that one - LOL)!
I think I will have one more upload this evening. Actually, the card is done, but then I took the pictures of it - and noticed that Bethlehem is headed up the hill - instead of sitting even in the cove - OVERS!!

Not too much to this card, but I like how it turned out - simple -- and I have always loved SU's baja breeze.
So, today is really cloudy and overcast and a bit chilly - but pleasant. The high temperature today is only going to be 65 degrees - and to remain as such the rest of this week. Maybe Autumn is truly here.

Well, I'm back from an awesome week-end at my friend's big, beautiful house. Shirley (wannabecre8tive) has such good taste in her decor and furnishings. I got to meet her fur babies, a few of her local friends, her sweet husband and another SCSer, Irishgreensue (Sue). I must say a good time was had by all - so much laughing that my jaws are still hurting. Shirley and her husband were awesome host/hostess and I loved her puppies and cat.
