A Sweet Hello

Here’s another of those stamps that has been collecting dust in my little basket.  Actually, it hasn’t been there all that long.  It’s fairly new (to me).   

Hello

    SNHCF

I decided to keep it fairly simple, coloring with Copics, adding some stitching, twill and popping up the focal image and whole front panel.

Our Time Trials went well, but it was cold.  We’ve had so much rain in the last couple weeks (and it’s been in the 60’s until today), so we’ve had only a few actual swim (in the water) practices.  My little girl had no experience on deck with the buzzer (whatever it’s called) and she’s pretty shy.  We managed to get her in for her freestyle but she would have nothing to do with the backstroke.  She was so upset about it she was crying.  Awww…I felt so bad.  I’m hoping we have better weather this week for practicing and that she’ll have more confidence next weekend.  (And I hope it’s warmer!)  My son was a trooper. He complained a bit but did well.  🙂   ***yawn*** (lol)   

I’m off to bed.  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!
