Hello Friends… It feels like summer here in Kansas today, the sun is shining brightly and is hot already! ‘The She Shed Tornado Shelter’ has been inactive for the last couple of days due to visiting grandkids. Yes… they’re the one sure thing that can draw Gram from her ‘She Shed’! We’ve being busy playing games, fishing, etc. However, I thought I’d share one of the most memorable events… the burial/funeral for two baby birds whom’s nest was blown from the tree and fell to their death on the street. The kids were so sad and insistent we bury them under a tree in our front yard, a flower and a twig cross were placed in their remembrance. It was so sweet to watch them share their compassion/sympathy for those two baby birds, priceless memories were made that will be treasured for years to come.

Folks, here’s Suite #3 (of four suites) featuring the ‘Flowers for Every Season Memories and More Card Pack’! Should you have missed the first two suites, I’d be thrilled if you’d hop back one post and check them out! This pack’s contents include 48 cards (in two different sizes), including four sheets of matching stickers. The design team from Stampin’ Up has really made the job easy for creating beautiful cards with little effort/expertise.

The Flowers for Every Season Memories and More Card Pack is just one product from a ‘huge’ suite being introduced in the new 2020-21 Annual catalog called ‘Flowers for Every Season’! Keep your eyes peeled folks, this is a catalog you don’t want to miss and will being going live on June 3rd!
