Paper-Piecing-Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!! I wish everyone a relaxing day filled with family, friends and lots of laughter! We had our big supper last night along with the big Easter Egg Hunt outside with all my nieces and nephews, as well as my kids-it was great and the weather was co-operating for a change too! My stomach still feels full from all the good vittles and candy!

Now onto the challenge: Over at Totally Tilda, this fortnightly's challenge is to use paper-piecing in your creation! We are being sponsored by fellow DT member, Lynne-who has some digital sentiments up for grabs as the prize. Check out her shop: Sentiments 4 You. Doesn't Tilda look adorable in her two-tone dress? I was going to leave her dress green and Bertie, fellow DT member and Prairie Fairy herself suggested I add a pink bib over top. Much appreciated!! The papers are from K&Company.

I'm entering the following challenges with this creation: Magnolia Stamp Lovers (Flowers) Let's Ink It Up (Stitching), Stampin Sisters in Christ (Make a Round Card), Just Us Girls (Any template, Springtime) Fussy and Fancy (Springtime), Fairy Knoll (Easter or Spring), ECP Challenges, Crazy 4 Challenges,  Craft Your Days Away and Sweet Stampin' (Easter).

So, does anybody want to hear about my trials and tribulations in the city yesterday? Well, actually only one LAMO thing happened to me in the Costco parking lot. I was unpacking my groceries and was loading a can of coffee that my MOM had requested. It somehow slipped and ended falling on my big toe below the nail. Well, I just about passed out-I got that warm hot fuzzy feeling and I put my head down right away and learned up against the side of my car. I felt like puking it hurt so much. Anyway, a guy taps me on the shoulder and says, "Excuse me, is this your coffee? Are you okay?" It had rolled across the parking lot!!LOL. So I bolted upright, and said "Uh, yah, thanks, I'm kind of having some bad luck-it fell on my toe-Thanks" And, I turned away and tried to unlock the driver's side of my car, lifted the handle-nothing! I press on my keyless entry again, lift the handle-nothing! Now, I'm starting to freak!! So, this guy was still around I guess and he says "M'am, isn't that your car?" He points to the car to my left, with the hatch open, full of groceries!!! I was trying to get into a silver Toyota Matrix!!! Lamo-My car is a Siver Equinox-same build, color. Now that is one my biggest LAMO moves in a while. When my embarassment finally passed, I had a good laugh-when I was in Scanterbury!!! Have a great day!! XXX Trish
