May Day, May Day! Did you dance around the May Pole today? I remember doing this in Elementary School. I don't think they do those fun things in school now, but I am a child at heart and cherish the memories from my childhood.
I am still amazed that it is May! 2014 is certainly flying by!!!!! Time---PLEASE SLOW DOWN!!!!
Today I am entering two challenges with my card. The Freshly Made Sketches Challenge and The Color Throwdown Challenge caught my eye as working together! I loved the combination of the colors and those old Pyrex dishes made me smile. I love retro items! Such great memories of times in the kitchen with my Mom and Grandma! Thank you to the Design Teams for such great inspiration! Drop by and visit their sites for great ideas and inspiration!!
