First, I want to congratulate our Queen for the Day HOLLY (Kopy Kat). It's time for you to shine and take a bow. We are honoring your generosity and presence in alot of our galleries. You take time to encourage, as put a smile on my face when I see you everyday. Thank you Holly, I love it when you stop by my gallery.
Here is the link to the challenge if you feel up to it:
Kept in the same sketch, used different dps, though I kept the polka dot and square theme.
This week the QFTD hostess asked us to improvise a REAL or NOT story. We all love Anne Ryan because when it comes to cheating...she is the Queen. LOL So here is my REAL or NOT story about the picture I used.
This is me and Lise, a little friend that was named after my mom by her neighbor and good friend. Lise and I were playmates, and as you can see here I was a bit bossy way back when...After this picture was taken, I flipped her over my shoulder and ran to my room after snitching her bottle. As I recall hers had something in it that made us laugh and talk loud, but gee, did we ever take long naps too. Hum, wonder what kind of "happy" drink that was...
Come to think of it, don't know what was more embarrassing for our moms. To take two 2 year olds to AA meetings or knowing they were responsible for it. LOL Awww, I do miss those days...LOL
Please note that there were no real babies nor now or in 1962 that was fed spiked milk...well, not in our family anyway! LOL
EDIT: Forgot that this fits Sue's (coffeestamper) challenge for a humourous cards. I did use a square punch for my sentiment so hey, I'm no Cheetah okay...lol

Oh my, Peggy, were you ever a precious little one!!! Such a terrific photo! I love the card you built around it, using Holly's card as inspiration. Great colors, papers and elements...but the "star" is your photo!
This is great!!!! I saw the challenge and didn't know what to do with it! I love how you did it and also honored CopyCat!
I love the story you shared too! Great!

"GOT MILK?" What an ADORABLE little baby you were! I so LOVE this card! Are you and Lise still friends after all these years? If you are...what a wonderful card to send her! It is a wonderful card anyway, whatever you do with it...as Bertie would say..."FRAME IT"! LOVE the colors and the polka dots and checks! Thanks for the FUNNY story too!

You really are a big nut , my sucre chou!! I love love your picture!! What cutie of a little girl you were/ are! I must say - I'm simply not surprised that you got into the AA at the age of 2 years old!!! That's probably where you met Anne Ryan -but I supppose she was about 60 when you were two years old!
Great card!!!! Hey - I actually mailed your get well card today!! OH!
