OH HAIL!

WE had softball size hail this week.  We lost our roof, skylight, two windows, one truck, one fence, all the plants I just planted the day before, the beautiful things we put out to enrich the yard, etc.  There are no leaves on the trees.  It's a mess.  They confirmed 3 tornadoes.  I took a picture of the one forming over us and they said it was 82 mph.  I've been through a lot of hurricanes.  I prefer those!! But it inspired me to renew beauty.

So, this is my tire swing with pretty leaves returned and I can't wait to go swing.
This is scrap paper.  All of it.  Christmas paper, Hawaiian paper, striped Easter paper, green cut grass and a tire.  The cut is on the Pop Up Neighborhood Cartridge which I've never used.  I don't know why. . 
 That's all I feel like doing.  Going out and jumping in the tire swing an flying away! 



Inside: "I never tire of you."


Thanks for stopping! 

I'm using this card in several challenges.  

FANTABULOUS CRICUT- Use a cartridge you never have before.  Pop Up Neighborhood.

    OH MY Penny, how awful!!! Thank goodness you are OK! All that work and gone with the wink of an eye. I hope you bounce back quickly. Love your card! That tire swing is adorable and I love the striped paper, nice! Also glad you had some time to create again. All here is so-so. My Dad is as grumpy as ever, and going down hill. I am pretty tied to home. It sure gets old! Sending big hugs, Joanne.
