Chickie Hop

Happy Monday! Yeah, it is finally getting warmer! I made it back Saturday night from a trip to Central Florida. My sister and mom decided to go on a visit to Satellite Beach where we lived many years ago. What my sister didn't realize when she booked the trip, was that it was the beginning of Spring Break! She booked a room in Cocoa Beach right on the ocean, but we didn't even see the ocean for two days after arriving. It poured the rain on Thursday and Friday! I will have some pictures to post in the near future. I always had dreams of being an Olympic athlete when I was young. I swam on an AAU swim team and also on my high school swim team. I placed tenth in the entire state of Florida my junior year in the 100 freestyle. We moved the summer between my junior and senior year to Tennessee. Swim programs were not as robust as Florida and I settled for holding some city records my Senior year. But....many years later I can say that I have TWO Gold Medals for cards I made in the VSN Olympics!! How awesome is that!! One of the cards is the one I am posting today. The VSN Olympic Challenge was~ I Believe. Our card needed to have a musical element, follow the sketch given, and finish the inside. I have been wanting to ink up this Chickie Stamp, so here it is. The Chicks are hopping and I put a musical note on the inside next to the sentiment. Fun, Fun challenge!

Such a cute "springy" card! Love those little dancing chicks and the yellow ribbon!

Wasn't aware that you were such a great swimmer!! Sorry you didn't get to see your dreams come true. BUT you are a great card maker and friend!! And we may have never met if your dreams had been realized.
