Serene Spring

I was so excited when got my mail and found not one but two envelopes full of images from SU's Serene Spring set. I {love} SCS Wish RAK. It took me a bit to get going in it but now I am just loving it. I have to say, I don't know what I love more, sending the wishes or receiving them. They both make me so happy.

I've always had a soft spot for rabbits. Through out the years I've actually had several as pets and well, I just love them. For a long time I collected anything with rabbits. I got burned out on that but I still have a soft spot. I'm thinking it could have started with a little black rabbit named Tippy that I had at my Great-Grandma's house when I was little. I loved that rabbit so much. Then my grandma had to move. My Dad took Tippy into town where he lived and just turned him loose. We all expected him to be killed instantly as there were lots of stray cats. Much to our surprise, Tippy lived for years amongst the cats and we saw him often, until one day my dad saw him on the road. It was a car that killed him not a cat. Nature is amazing, isn't it?

Enough of my memory lane.....hehehe......here's my card using this adorable image!

Hi Danni,

This card is lovely. I love the coloring you did with it. I have that set, but have not used it yet.

I need to though!!!

I am sorry I have not been by that much this weekend I have not been to any blogs I am way behind on everything!!!

I always wanted Rabbits and my Hubby bought them for me our 1st Easter together that we were married. I found that they were not very friendly and scatched and scared (left scars all over my arms and hands) maybe we just had the wrong kind. So for several years we had bunnies, but now no more the neighbors dog killed the last one about a year and a half ago and I felt so bad for him!!!

Well I better go look at the rest of your cards now.

I tried the whole 3 template thing last night and I can not make it work!!!

I started a new blog called practice blog because I want to keep my same template, but I wanted to try it with a practice blog before I did my own and it is not working for me. I would really like 3 colums, but can not seem to make it work.

Oh when were you stationed in Kansas??? Were you at Juction City??? My Hubby went to K-State.

We have been to Rolling Hills Zoo in Salina several times, and now that Marvin's brother has moved to Salina from Omaha I am sure they will go even more!!! Always nice to know someone knows where you are talking about. Did you ever make it down to Hutchinson to go to the Cosmosphere??? It is a wonderful musium affiliated with the Smithsonian. They have so many Space and Astronaught things it is insane!!!!

Well enough babbling!!!
