It's Not Easy Being Green! FMS 25



Time for the annual green St. Patrick's Day card.  Poor old Garden Green just sits in his folder all year long and waits for March.  I never use him - he just doesn't seem to play well with others. Wild Wasabi is dashing and Lucky Limeade is so hip!  Always Artichoke has such elegance and Certainly Celery is all sweetness. Old Olive is just the reliable workhorse of the greens.  So once a year Mr. Garden Green gets his very own card - no fuss, no frills - just green!  Funny thing is that in real life I have never met a Wasabi and I don't like artichokes, celery, limes or olives..........but I adore garden greens............



Hope you join us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

  7. You are too funny! I think you have underestimated Mr Garden Green...he probably gets along better with others than you think! I do like him featured for St Pat's but he can do Christmas occasionally! I cannot believe you don't like olives, celery or limes!!!!!

  13. Poor Garden Green to be relegated to St. Patrick's Day duty only. You do him justice with with your card, though. I hope you're enjoying your trip!
