Under my Umbrella...ella!

Hello everyone!

Hope your all having a wonderful day today! What a great fun day Jessica & I had yesterday! I'm happy to say that I finally found the DP & envelopes that I had been searching for & that is a BIG relief to me! Those 2 items were driving me bonkers, I was searching for some paper to go with Pink Passion that I liked & the envelopes in the size I needed, it seems the size I was searching for is not a standard size, all the envelopes I could find were either too big or too small, I went by the size that came in a package of card bases & envelopes that I bought at Michael's soooo...I just bought 2 packages of 50 at 30% off just so that I could have the envelopes, the card bases I will use for something else eventually! I had to do it that way cause I was sick of looking. We also found some two tone ribbon for the charity cards that we are making for the wedding. I found my shoes but...when we went to the bridal salon to pick up Jessica's veil I found another pair of shoes that we liked better. Now I don't want to give up the pair that I just bought & I know hubby will not like it if I bought another pair of shoes that I might or might not wear with this dress & since I had already spent my money on the other pair of shoes & other things & these shoes have to be ordered, so I passed on ordering them for NOW!!! Hee! Hee! I will more than likely return on another day when I come up with the money (their not cheap!) & order them then. What can I say, I'm me!
We had some lunch & had a great day together! We got a lot of errands done & finally got home around 5:30 so it was a long day. Now I just have to wait for my SU order & then I'm in business. I forget a few little things that I need but it's no big deal I can get them next week.

Sorry, I think I rambled too much there, may have repeated myself a few times, oh well! On to my card. Like the catchy title? I see this stamp set & right away I think of this song & can't get it out of my mind! This is one of the cards I made the other day, I like how this turned out except I think I should have done something else with the sentiment, not too sure about that. I love this ribbon that I picked up at Michael's, I have a few different colors of these plaid ribbon spools for a dollar. The plaid colors are so beautiful in real life. Well thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a great weekend everyone!

Hugs...Rita
