Back to School

Unity Stamp Company's Challenge for August is "Back to School". The following
card is my submission for this challenge.

Oh how exciting it was to anticipate the first day of school...though the excitement did not last long. The anticipation of meeting up with friends that I had not seen all summer. Getting new school supplies and new clothes to start the year off. The smell of fall in the air. Football games and cheer leading. Yes, I was a rah, rah and loved it. It held some kind of power, or so I thought. Teeheehee. You know....way back in the day...I would walk five miles to school in two feet of snow and work and study and get straight "As". I helped slop the hogs and feed the cattle. Then I cleaned the house and cooked dinner. After all that I went to bed to get up and start all over again. Teeeheeehee...only a memory of a story my dad would tell. Seriously, I rode the bus to school then when I was of "age" I rode in a car with my best friend Danette who took at least "5" tries before she passed her drivers test and I still thought it was cool to get in the car with her. P.S. I love you Danette.....oh the memories. Danette & I did cheer in the snow though. We would be freezing out there!!! We never, never, never had a drink that would burn all the way down our throats into our bellies either. That is a true story.

I could go on for hours about school memories. We will save it get them for another post. I have to get off here and get ready for my latest grandson's first birthday party. My little pirate. I will also post about that.

Circles

This months Unity Challenge is "Circles". Oh what fun circles are!!! I am going to post my card I made for this challenge then I am going to blog about circles and what they mean to me. Hang in here with me.

"Circles"

Now what do circles mean to you? Need I ask. The first thing that comes to mind is they represent eternity. There is no beginning and no end. They just keep going around and around and around they go. FYI: I was going to try and be serious about that one but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. They represent happiness. Kind of like a big ol' smiley face!!! ☺Balloons are like happiness and they are shaped like big round circles. You want to know one thing that really, really, really makes me happy? Well I'm telling you whether you want to hear it or not.....my "Troll Beads" make me happy and guess what? They are circles!!!! OMG!! There are so many things that are circles and so many things that make me happy. One of those things that is a circle and is last but not least is my wedding set. HaHaHa. Yes....given to me by "the man in the uniform"!!! That circle represents our love, a love that is wrapped around that ring....our little circle of love!!!! OK....now I might make myself tear up here. I love you "man in the uniform!!!
