Construction Fun!!

This past week we have been doing some construction on our front lawn which as required a lot of noise and a HUGE DIRT MESS!!  My husband thought it would be nice to take goodie baskets to all of our neighbors and have me make a fun card.  Here is the card I made for all 6 neighbors.  :)

I used My Pink Stamper Boy Crazy Stamp Set along with a set of Peachy Keen Stamps.  The cartridge was Everyday Paper Dolls.

That is so cute Robyn and sweet of you. My neighbors have done all kinds of construction and we never got a pre-warning or a post I am sorry for the noise and I work 2-3rd shift so that would be really nice.

That is very nice and generous of you and your husband. That is not common at all.
Have fun cleaning everything after wards.
Show pictures. I love the garden and my husband and I are every weekend moving plants around because some grow out of control and they have to be moved.

Hi Robyn!!
BOY!! I've had construction (house building) for the past couple of years & NEVER got a kind word, apology for the noise, etc. Thought that would be all done, now there's a giant (I call it a monster house!) being built right next door to me! It's gotten so bad, I've even given up hosing off my car from all the dust, sand & debris! It's costing a fortune in windshield washer fluid! LOL. I only live about 2 miles from the beach, but I don't even need to go...I can stay right in my driveway there's so much sand! Anyway, what a NICE thing you & your family have done, the card is gorgeous...and just for a little "dirt pile & noise!" Good Luck with your front lawn...I'm sure it will be beautiful & your neighbors will enjoy it too!
God Bless & Bunnie Hugs from R.I.,

Cool idea! Give your husband a high five for that one. May I be nosey and ask what was in the good baskets? I wouldn't even know what to put in there were I to do it.
