A Kid's Card

Sorry I haven't been around lately but I've been under the weather for the last couple days. But I hope you all had a Happy Mother's Day. I managed to drag myself out of bed to go for some brunch at Olympic View Golf Course. It was yummy for what I ate!! And my girl's got some cute planter's for all my little gerber daisy plants!
