Winners–Card-Free File

Good morning everyone,
Hope you’re having a wonderful week so far! I need to catch up on the winners from the last couple of challenges. BUT….before I do… I just have to share this BEAUTIFUL work of ART with YOU! This was done by our DT member Dalis and her beautifully talented 4 year old daughter Bianca.

How precious is that!  Dalis titled her post…This is what happens when you leave your card for 5 min!!!
When I saw this, I just laughed and laughed…HOW SWEET! I love that Dalis still posted it and that it can be cherished by you and me. It reminds me of an old song by Wayne Watson….Water Color Ponies….It is a tear jerker…especially if you are on this side of some of your “water color ponies”  I found a video of him singing it on You Tube. It is SO WORTH listening to. It really puts it all into perspective.



Okay, if you took the time to listen to the video, please grab a tissue and wipe up your keyboard…Take a deep breath and we will move on to the business at hand.
