We are having so far the hottest days of Spring, yesterday we got 96F at 11:00am, really hot. I also spent some time gardening, well working on my pots, I don't have a real garden yet, we hope soon.

Last night, DD was playing on the computer and I had some time to make a couple of cards. Cute and Simple ones. I am practicing a lot coloring with Prismacolors and OMS. At the beginning it was a big frustration because nothing I colored look good, now I think I am getting better, I need more practice,but I am improving :)
