Mojo Monday 245 and The Play Date Cafe 136

Magnificent Monday Morning!

Why, you might ask does my blog header date say Sunday?  Well, it's like this.  We had a fantastic lunch out with Dan and Rachel and the boys, spent a few hours with them, and then came on home.  Mister promptly took a nap and I retired to the Playhouse.  I wanted to play in The Play Date Cafe with the delicious berry colors, but what to do for the sketch.  Should I make up a layout . . . hmmm.  I know, I'll do the Mojo Monday sketch.

Two hours later, I'm putzing along, note the time, and go wake up Mister 'cause it's getting dangerously close to cocktail time.  Then, slap, it hits me.  Mojo MONDAY?  Kri-Key, this is late Sunday afternoon, I wonder if the sketch challenge has already closed??  Phew, thank goodness, I've two hours to go.  Since I went to all the trouble of making it, I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to do my Monday blog tonight.  Thanks.

Here are the luscious berry colors of The Play Date Cafe challenge.  (It doesn't close for two more days, so you've plenty of time to play!)  The colors are azure, raspberry, and blackberry.


Once again, the generous sponsor is:

And the fun sketch from almost last week over at Mojo Monday is:


And here is my card:



I'm tickled to also let you know that Bernie of Bernie's Craft Closet has joined the party!  Welcome, Bernie!

Enjoy!  I might be back tomorrow anyway, depending on how the day goes. Hope you have a great one!  As always, thank you for stopping by to visit. Special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower or leave a comment!

  8. This is pretty, Darnell. I like the sparkle on your hummingbird.

    I had to go back to the Wiki article on herons and check the pronunciation. I had completely passed it by. Turns out there's an "International Phonetic Alphabet." Who knew?
