All Smiles.....FMS439





I just love this hippo peeking through a window of balloons to say Happy Birthday!  Sure to make anyone smile!

And speaking of smiles how about this one.......




Someone I know was very happy to resume her horseback riding lessons this week! Restrictions are slowly lifting in New York.  Schools remain closed and there are still no team sports or dance classes but the horse barn reopened!  I think Joy got an extra peppermint or two since Emma hasn't seen her in three months!  


Our talented Artisan from Australia has a fun sketch to make you smile this week!  Have fun with Narelle's sketch!  Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

    Awww, what a cute card!! Love your little hippo with his sweet birthday hat on. :) Glad that things are slowly returning to normal for you...we're still all shut down except for takeout and "essential" businesses here. Thinking that I might make a run to your area to get a haircut! ;)

    I don't know what's more cute - the hippo framed amongst those colourful balloons or the look on Emma's face; priceless!
