Time for the July Papertrey Blog Hop! Another month come and gone… wow.
This month we had another inspiration photo to work with…
I took my inspiration from the colors and the sweet little pillow with the butterflies.
I die cut the blooms and stitched through them randomly…it kills me not to make a straight line, I tell ya LOL! The background is from Modern Basics.
Sorry things have been quieter here on the ol' blogo. We are 5 weeks away from our big northern migration! And there's so much to do as you can imagine. I'll probably be a lot more sporadic with my posts for the next 6 weeks or so. I've got lots to round up and finish off at work, preparing for the new job, trying to keep our house clean enough to show, etc, etc. We've not had a lot of interest in the house sadly. The market is S-L-O-W here. It's likely we won't sell it before we move. But we do have a rental lined up in Canada so at least we'll have a place to lay our heads when we get there :) I jokingly suggested to the hubby that we could keep our house here in TN as a vacation home… he didn't find the suggestion as funny as I did :)
Anyway, I'm trying not to stress too much about the things I have little control over (some days I'm better at it than others :)).
Thanks so much for stopping by!!! I appreciate your visits :) Happy hopping!

I love your happy card! Great take on the challenge. So sorry that you are in the throws of a move especially from Tennessee (my home town is Franklin, just outside of Nashville) as my husband and I moved from there over 30 years ago. Take care and I look forward to seeing your blog again soon as you get settled in your new home.
I think some days are always better than others for keeping stress down, but I'm sending house sale vibes your way =) Gorgeous work on this inspiration challenge. The colors are perfect and your flowers are a great choice. I'm sooooo with you on the straight line issue, but this looks awesome as it is!! Gorgeous as always =)
