Hi there friends!
Things have been a little quiet on the blog, but not so much in real life.
My daughter was offered a full time job teaching kindergarten in Quebec a couple weeks ago which she accepted. She needed a place to live and also be there in 5 days. It all came together and we moved her last weekend and took a second load to her yesterday! She has so much stuff!
A 10 hour round trip two weekends in a row!
So when we got back last night you would think I would head straight to bed but instead I finally used my Essentials by Ellen Mondo Pansy along with some more swinking for the #swinkingchallenge.
I white embossed the Mondo Pansy on to a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock. Using Catherine Pooler Inks It's A Girl, Bellini, Tiara, Garden Party and Fiesta Blue. I swinked across the page diagonally in rainbow order using the direct to paper method. I let it dry and then added the sentiment in black from the same stamp set.
Now I can go and be exhausted.
Have a great week ahead!

Congratulations to your daughter and I wish her every success, Tracey! You brought back memories of the long trips back and forth with our son. These milestone events live on forever. Your swinked (sounds like one of my words!) design in rainbow colors and white embossed pansy is just gorgeous! I adore that sediment! Keep safe! Hugs, Darnell
Its gorgeous Tracey. I am definitely putting swinking on my list of things to try. Yay for your Daughter, and glad you all got her moved in for this next stage of life.
What a beautiful card! Many congratulations to your daughter on her new job! I can remember the move from home, to a new community, and into my classroom 33 years ago. Teaching continues to fulfill and challenge, and I pray your daughter will find satisfaction in her new role. You deserve congratulations and a good rest, as well!
I am sure you are beat and I bet Brooklyn is so happy she has the best parents on the planet!!! I wish her all the best on her first year of teaching!
