For this week's IC the store was green rainbow. A perfect store for this week since we just celebrated earthday. I was inspired by the eco friendly message throughout the entire store.
My grandmother always hung her clothes out on a laundry line in warm months, and I used to love to help her. I also LOVED the smell of that wet, clean laundry hanging in the sunshine. I would love to do this in warm months not only to help conserve energy, but for the warm memories it brings back. Unfortunately, our HOA would have a cow if I hung clothes out on a line in my backyard!
This is also for the Etsy Inspired Challenge. More deets on my blog!

I really like your card! I have this dp and love using it -fun! Here in the UK and Ireland its still the done thing to hang our clothes out on a line to dry - you always hear someone going "on no, and I've got clothes on the line" when it starts to rain!

I love it! for the idea and the beauty of it. My mom hung out all year, and brought the frozen ones in the house to finish drying in the winter. I love hanging out the sheets and blankets. I probably should tell this, but DH and I take pictures of "wash on the line" when we're on a drive. It's just so picturesque. Your card is great.

great card and I love the memories that you shared-my neighbor hangs her sheets out in the warmer weather-it seems like too much work-I just use my dryer (lol)
