Last Chance Reminder & Exciting News!

There is still one week left in the Clear It Out Challenge and I sure would love to see you participate.  Only 5 people have entered this challenge so chances are good that you will win if you enter your card.

First, I need to apologize for the quality of this photo.  I was having problems with my camera.  I chose to represent Texas for this card.  I used the colors in the Texas flag (blue, red & white) and chose an image that I thought represented Texas well.
