Just Us Girls #696 ~ I See the Moon...

Hey there and happy Saturday! It's time for a new Just Us Girls challenge. Bobby is hosting this week and her word choice is MOON. I knew just the stamp set I would use. Check it out...

My mom and I were in a little shop on Mackinac Island several years ago when she spotted a pottery sign with this saying on it. She told me it was something my dad often said.  I never knew that! She bought the sign and I bought this stamp set a few years later! 

After stenciling the brick, I cut out the arched opening for a window. It was the perfect spot for this little mouse (CCC) to sit and look up at the moon! I'll set this one aside for my dad.

Alright peeps, your turn to moon us!!!

It's a song I sang to my babies, Lisa! How wonderful to have this stamp, the sign, and that trip with your mom!
Your card is wonderful - I think that little mouse is whistling that tune!

It is so heartwarming that something as simple as the word moon can conjure up such wonderful memories, Lisa. Your card is perfect to show off the moon, sentiment, and that little mouse.

what a sweet story, and a wonderful creation to illustrate it. Love the wonderful moon in the archway shining it a star sprinkled sky. That little mouse is the perfect moon gazer. I love it.

Your story and the card that emerged from it both warm my heart. Such a lovely image and verse; such a sweet night scene, especially with the little mouse gazing up at the sky from his window perch. Awesome, all around!
