FBW- Angelica's Bunny

5:31 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Hump day all!!! It is hard to believe it is Wednesday already and half the week is gone. Wow! And to think it is December already as well. Yikes!! I am not near ready for Christmas!!!! You would think that we card makers would be ahead on cards...no not me.....!

I am so excited to have a working computer!! My dear husband allowed me to buy a new one since there were so many issues with my old one. Guess you all know what I got for Christmas now. Yes...this is it!!! I am excited though!! I was able to post my creations over the last few weeks but now I can check out yours as well!! I have so missed visiting you all. Never realized how addicted I was to the computer and how much time I actually spend on here!!! Sorry for getting off track here.....just wanted to let you all know that I did not forget you!! Thanks for all your sweet comments. Thankfully my girls are over the flu and feeling much better as well!!

Well Anywho...on today's Flutter By Wednesday challenge! There are a lot of changes happening at Flutter By Wednesday:
