Feeling a Bit Peckish?!


Happy Spring, everyone!  For some of you, such a greeting may seem like a bad April Fool's Day joke!  You may not feel like Spring has really arrived if you're digging out from under a blanket of snow, but here in Florida we have been covered with a blanket of pollen which, for many of my friends, has brought a myriad of allergy symptoms to go along with it.  That's what prompted this country, farm-style get-well card.

For the card front, I used scraps of designer paper in Americana colors and a little lace along with some asymmetrically placed chicken brads...makes me think of the flannel-backed plastic tablecloths my grandma used on her farm house dining table when all of us grandkids came to visit.  


Couldn't resist decorating the inside with a hexagon "chicken wire" designer paper print, this vintage eggs ad and some egg brads, which went along perfectly with the country theme and the sentiment from The Cat's Pajamas.

Have a happy April Fool's Day!  I hope, if you get pranked, that it's a fun one!
