Baby on the way for Tilda...




Oh, my...it's Thursday already!! I can't believe another week has flown by! Looking forward to a 3-day weekend w/my sweet hubby...no big plans. I'll make a few cards...and, of course, we'll visit Barnes & Noble a couple of times!! Am reading a new fiction by Laurie Notaro...she's one of the funniest humor writers I've ever read. Her first book was called..."The Idiot Girls Action-Adventure Club"...that wasn't a work of fiction...it was a compilation of some of her crazy experiences in Phoenix...well, let me just say, she's funny and irreverant...for example, she talks about the "granny panties" her mother would buy her at Christmas. I don't know...I find that pretty funny...maybe because I can relate to that...my gramma used to buy me granny panties! I have no idea how I got off on that tangent...

So...thanks for coming to visit. Here's an adorable little Tilda...with a baby in her belly!!! (She used to have wings...but I made them invisible!) Anyway...I think she's just as sweet as can be. The funny thing is that I don't know a single person who's pregnant...so maybe this card will end up being sold. Sooooo...here's my recipe:
