Hi guys.
     It is finally October 1st and I can not believe that I have lasted this long.   I have some AWESOME NEWS to share with all of you.  One night after work in August I received an email from Jessica from The Greeting Farm (my all time favorite stamp company) and she asked me if I was doing anything 'special' between October and March.  Well I replied "no" and ran into our bedroom to tell my husband what I had just read.  Apparently I don't think I am capable of reading when I am excited.  I then returned to my computer and there was another email from Jessica asking me if I would like to be a member of the next challenge team.   I don't even think I was breathing by then.  Of course I emailed  her right way (just in case she had made a mistake,  lol) and told her  that I would LOVE to be involved with anything that had to do with The Greeting Farm.   So as you might have guessed by now,  I am officially a member of the new challenge team for The Greeting Farm's Farm Fresh Challenge Blog.   I am so excited and I can not wait to make a lot of great things with my fellow team members.  You guys are going to so happy with all the things these awesome ladies are coming up just for you.  :O)  
     So as you know this weeks challenge is to case one of Rachel's spectacular cards.  I had a hard time picking just one to CASE.  Rachel is so talented.  So for today, I decided to use one of her awesome easel cards and make my Great Nephew (who just turned 1 yesterday) a card for his Birthday.  Here is my card.  Hope you like it. 


Rachel's beautiful card...
