Happy Monday!!! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Our weekend did not end up being a total wash out for camping we only had one really bad day so that was good. We did alot of fun things with the kids so I was happy about that!!!

I did this card for the CARDS challenge last week and it was to make a animal shaped card. It ended up being featured over there which was a nice surprise to come home to!!!

The sentiment is from a Unity KOTM and the dp is from the Girl's Paperie.

Well I am off and running to do about 20 loads of washing the big downside of camping!!!!
