(keep reading to the end, where I'll explain how you can win a set for yourself.)
I was thinking, would I ever give a card to someone that read "you are on the corner of freaking & insane"? maybe not (or maybe yes, to the same person that I am freaking insanely in love with, haha) so I added some handwriting to turn it into a more loving card.
And then, this card. A street-sign just begs to be leaned on, doesn't it? I made the post longer with some creative inking, so that Jake's large head wasn't actually resting on "fantastic." This card is my big thumbs up (thumbs up? peace sign?) to Miriam. I know she loves rag dolls, and I always aim to please. hee.
Now that you've seen my cards, hop on over to the other girls' blogs... and leave comments along the way - there will be 2 "on the corner of" winners chosen from among the comments.
