beautiful blooms and basket weaving...

Hi everyone!!
I am a little late this morning!! Mike is finally starting to feel better *woot woot* so last night we watched TV together (it is soooo nice to have him back!! He has been very sick). Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!!

Okay onto the card:
Last week I was sitting on the floor, playing with Kodi (Josh's dog), and was eye level with the IKEA basket that I have to hold all of Josh's shoes (he has a lot!!), and I had an idea for a card base. Back in the 90's my mom and I took a basket weaving class, so my skills were put to good use for today's card.

I really loved the look, and I am sure will do some more paper weaving again ;)

Enjoy Today!!
