Today I’m feeling under the weather with a summer cold and this little snail seemed to fit my mood, lol. There won’t be a video today because it would have to be a silent movie and I’m not sure if my brain is working well enough to make any sense.

Yesterday I had a super busy day for me (if you are retired you might understand). I walked with a friend and my grandson Isaac. (Isaac was dragging by the time we got to the halfway point of our 4 mile weekly walk, but he forged on and made it home).

Then a half hour later my friend Sandy (old friend as in we’ve been friends for a long time) went to Loretto to the Detour 19 bar and met our newer friend Janice. Her son owns the bar so it wasn’t a problem that we sat there for FOUR hours visiting! We met Janice at the pool in Saddlebag Lake Resort in Florida.

Sandy dropped me off at home with just enough time to get in my car and head to Hearthside Books in Watertown for my book club meeting.

When I got home a bunch of my family was sitting on our patio relaxing with some beer after finishing baling hay over at my son’s home. Two of the boys spent the night while the rest of the family headed to Alexandria today for a Trap Shoot Event.

When I worked out of the home and my kids were young that would have been a typical day, but I move MUCH slower now. It might take me a week to recover, especially with this cold, lol.

This card was super quick and easy to create. The stamping is on a 3 1/2″ x 1 3/4″ piece of basic white. The Blackberry Bliss matte is 4″ x 2 5/8″ (it was a scrap that I just grabbed and used). The base is Thick Basic White 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″.

The snail took no time at all to color with Stampin’ Blend Markers, using Blackberry Bliss for its body and Bubble Bath for its Shell. The antenna’s are Fresh Freesia.

This super cute stamp set is only $5 with a $75 or more purchase.
