No waking up before...Ok wait we are on drill team so we will be waking up before the crack of dawn all summer....So anyways now time to catch up. May members art is up. coloring as we speak, I have sketched out all of June and will be adding those this weekend...This weeks freebie is late but better late than never.

I took the first batch of about 150 cards Over to Dylan's house this past Sunday and spent over 2 and a half hours with a very amazing family. The Shaw family is sooooo cool. Dylan read each card, asked about them, asked me if it was my art or not, we talked about everything and just hung out with a very awesome kid and family. I have a few more cards that have made their way here since then so I will be getting them to him after they have time to settle back in. I personally want to thank each and everyone who took the time out of their daily craziness to make a card and make a little boy smile. Thank you sooooooo much...

Freebie and 2 new sets with options...

 You can find it HERE in my store...
Read with me, 10 images of friends reading to each other. Someone mentioned the Panda would work for their VBS this year and so I had this pop into my head...
Pandamonium...

You can find it HERE in my store...
Both of these now come with options, there is a pull down menu to choose the normal download with both the BnW and Color, but now there is also a BnW version only option as well as a Color version only option. Some people wanted one and not the other and others wanted both to see the coloring when coloring the BnW versions.

Now for the reason most of you are here.
This weeks Freebie.
