Fiber Bubble: Goin' to the Market

Goin' to the Market

I think I will make a few cards for one of my favorite vendors at the local Farmer's Market. I have, until now, unused veggie stamps. Can't think of anyone who would appreciate them more! I'll start off with this one inspired by the sketch challenge over at Just Us Girls. I liked the sketch so much I made two cards with it. I must be hungry - both of them involve food!

Daughter Amy, of course, will be the recipient of the cupcake card as that is the rule of the Bubble! All owl and cupcake cards go to Amy's card stockpile!

Oh Nancy....you made 2 cards!!! Love them both and yes you must have had food on the brain that is for sure! On the first one I love that it's outside the box with the veggies and love the way you did the sentiment! On your second card, the balloons in the background and the yummy cupcakes are a great combo! Well done on both counts Nancy and thanks for playing along with us at Just Us Girls...we appreciate you!

Buwahhahahah! College Student Quotes!

New Alum: When I get married I want to have 9 babies. Me: You want 9 children? Alum: Yes. All born in the same year. Me: So you are saying you want to father a litter. Alum: Litter? No. I want a baseball team. Me: Would you consider 9 babies over - say - the course of 3-4 years? Alum: (furrowed brow/hesitation) I suppose I could deal with that. Me: You do realize you don't even have a girlfriend yet. Alum: I've had girlfriends. The 9 babies clause seems to be a deal breaker for some reason. Me: How do you feel about tennis?
