The Old Goat

Graduation for the granddaughter is finally said and done!  She did a great job, received numerous scholarships, and just generally did wonderful.  I, for one, am ready for some peace and quiet now....at least a little bit.  I'll be around a lot more now and may even have some time to make a card or two also.  It's pretty nice as you get older.......everyone just looks at you and sighs and says - ah, she's just so old and getting slower now.........So, as you age, be sure and take note of all these little things.  It doesn't matter if you can run circles around them - don't do it and they'll just think you're old.  I'm rambling...............

I made this card several months ago.  I was going to try and get a better picture of it but can't even find the card now.  Guess that means it's already been shipped out.  Anyway, I used a stamp from Art Impressions.  Very basic, clean and simple card  - but it's done and evidentially already gone to whoever it was going to.

Thanks for stopping by..........
Lynn

Oh my gosh that image is hilarious!! I've not seen it before, but you've sure done a great job on the coloring and that sentiment is perfect with it! LOL! My kids have ALWAYS said I was old even when I thought I was young! Glad you will have some time for yourself to enjoy! :) I appreciate whenever you get a chance to see what's going on with me, thank you for visiting old friend! :)

A big congrats to your granddaughter Lynn, she sounds like one smart cookie!! Yes, it is always tiring with activities like that, I'm always glad when they are over too. lol I guess it is our age. This image cracks me up, or would if I could laugh! lol So cute and funny is that sentiment as well and I love the way you colored it. Loving that polka dot paper too! Hugs, Brenda

Graduation is such a wonderful time because she is starting a whole new chapter of her life. The card is so fun with the bright red polka dot paper and cute image. You're right about getting old. The nice thing is people don't expect you to be able to do stuff so they jump in to help.

I think I had to make this apology a time or two myself!! LOL!! What a sensational birthday card, Lynn!!

Another fun card, Lynn, with excellent coloring! The last time I tried to color with Copics, I had a fuller trash can. Thanks for the advice on aging. Sounds like a good plan to me. I think I'll try that!
