A very good morning to all. It’s time for the
Mission Possible Girls to hit
The Great Outdoors
and we really hope that you join us for a breath of fresh air and some Sun (something that we have NOT seen yet here in New Jersey…it has been forever and still raining).
During the month of May we will be working on some projects that focus on the great oudoors…then we will show you on the 29th at our Last Tuesday of the Monday Linky Party and we sure hope you join us with all of your fabulous creations! Throughout the month you will see little tips…ideas…creations…recipes and more here and on the other girls blogs so keep an eye out…the girls really have flair. When I dream of a garden…here are a few things that pass through my mind…
wouldn’t you love to have your cup of coffee while turning the
pages of the newest Stampington Magazine in this kind of setting (deep sigh). You need to know that I was born with a black thumb…yes it’s true…also fair skin and a bit of a dislike for dirt…not to mention bugs! …so I am not exactly what you would call an “woodsy” kind of girl…but I will give it a go and I hope you join me. You can show us a party that you have had outside…flowers that you are growing…planters that you are building or painting…picnics you are preparing…being kind to the creatures of the land…front porches and oh yes…show us what is on your grill too…

A black thumb – quick, get to the doctor!
If that guy in the second friend pic wants to come over and help, I’m sure I would get a lot more accomplished!
