Yes, you are required to say “happy yellow” in your best Bob Ross voice!
These went to my mother in law this week. I think she gave some of the last cards to one of her caregivers and now needs replacements? Unclear.
“Stay at Home” is going OK. I am only leaving the house to walk, get groceries, or check on my parents. Offspring3 and I completed a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle in about 8 hours on Monday.

One would think that with the current social distancing and stay at home COVID-19 situation that I would be crafting every day.
Nope. No crafty mojo here (must be locked down somewhere else!).
I’ve been walking most days (not fantastic during spring allergy time for me! The pollen really bothers me.), checking on my parents, playing Sudoku on my phone, and doing regular chores. My husband and I ventured out for a Safeway/Target run yesterday. Not crowded, per se, but more people than I expected. And some people are not good about the 6 feet of separation. I think I was holding my breath when people got too close.
SO…my in-laws are celebrating their 65th anniversary this week. I pulled out my supplies to make a card.
The silver mirror “shadow” of the numbers is difficult to see – it is mostly reflecting the bright pink of my pajamas! (I took the photo in the basement at night – it turned out incredibly well, all things considered. Just couldn’t get a shot that didn’t reflect the pink.)
Stay safe, keep the distance!

I am so glad that Julie Ebersole included this sentiment in her Voices in My Head stamp set. “AACK” is something I actually say. (Blame the comic strip “Bloom County” from the 1980’s!)

This Hola sentiment stamp is in the Technique Tuesday set with Lorenzo the Llama.
I thought this paper by ScrapBerry looked like Spanish tile.
Offspring3 snagged it as soon as I had it photographed.
