You are a clever sausage!! <br /><br />Thank you for sharing you pretty posies, too! Everything is gorgeous and colorful here as well. It truly is the best season of rebirth and joy amongst the flora and fauna. Well, except for the nasty-a$$ birds who prey on other nests, but we won't give them any press here!

Your garden photo's are lovely, seem to be a bit ahead of us here in Lancashire, we have had a lovely show of daff's and now the tulips are following. I also love watching the birds in the garden, they are so so busy at the moment, I have a rag doll cat and have to groom her regularly, I put all her collected hair outside and it is lovely to see the birds collect it to line their nests with:) Good luck for tomorrow, you will be so popular with your personality and great sense of humour.

I've a set of cardio stamps but I seem to end up with a pattern that looks artificial. I think your idea of an aperture is very clever. Perhaps this will help me! LOL!

Hope you had a good day with Nesta even if it was only grocery shopping. This card I'd so pretty just love all the little flowers around the aperture and as you say a great way to keep the postage costs down. Your garden is looking so pretty. I have only cut the grass since I have been but I have been so lucky as it has been full of spring bulbs both back and front. Lovely patch of hyacinths outside the front door which smell wonderful, lots of daffodils and the tulips are now appearing. I have to say long hair is not how I imagined you, funny how we build a picture in our minds.

Love all your garden flowers, my Clematis died in the two very cold winters we had, and I haven't replaced it. I've always wanted a Camelia, but not achieved it yet. As for the card, I love it! I have lots of Cardio stamps, so it would be more a question of trying out the colour scheme.
