Adam is one of my Facebook friends because he and his wife took Madison's wedding pictures.... he saw my "Every Light in the House is On" mushroom card yesterday on Facebook and he asked me to make a birthday card for his wife... he lives a little more than an hour away and I explained to him that because I mail them in a bubble envelope they take longer to arrive than a day, he was willing to drive the hour or more  to pick up my card.... was that a compliment or what!!!.... so I got to work designing on my Gypsy last night...and the card came together so good this morning...I am just so excited about this card.... hope that Adam and his wife are happy with it!!... thank you so much for looking!!... Hugs, Jeannie
