Grammy’s Heart

I am forever telling Max he is Grammy’s heart. How could he not be?

Today he told me he wanted to have a pet pig. So I told him all about when his Uncle Gerry brought home a pig.  I didn’t share all the details. I didn’t tell him about how the pig was fattened up for slaughter. Funny thing was, when the day came, nobody could bring himself to stick a fork in ‘Gordie’ - self included. It may well have had something to do with the fact that the pig had a name. Anyway, Gordie did give birth to this short story. Have a read if you have time. I’m hoping I didn’t go overboard with the dialect and that it brings you a chuckle. Cheers.

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in our last challenge. Einat, I pulled your name out of the butter tub this week and if you send me your snail address, I’ll get a little package in the mail.

Came across the term ‘fussy cutting’ on someone’s blog a little while back and just loved the phrase - don’t know if it’s original to that particular person or if it’s a phrase common to the craft.  No matter, I love it. Fussy cutting -perfect description for some of the work behind so many of the cards and layouts I see so many of you do. And certainly perfect for this one. Don’t know why on earth I’d choose a card with ‘fussy cutting’ for a card swap - I have to do twenty plus - but I’m hoping everyone will like it. I do.

Soooo - challenge for this fortnight: Let`s see a little fussy cutting on your card or layout.

Be sure to sign on with Mr. Linky below. Mr. Linky closes again in two weeks, Sunday, September 5th - can you believe it, the summer is almost gone! -at which time I’ll draw for a little candy. Have a great week and thanks for coming back!

My brother in law is an avid golfer and I  found the perfect digi for his birthday card at Di`s Digi Downloads. Check out her images. They`re great. Got a little carried away coloring but the birthday boy got the guy in the orange shirt.
