Autumn Fun

It’s getting to be autumn and time for back to school.   It was “Meet Your Teacher” night at my daughter’s school last night.  She was suffering from the stomach flu and wasn’t able to go.  (Insert sad face here.)  While I stayed home with her, my husband stopped by the school to drop off her school supplies.    

I have an autumn card to share with you today using Acorn Squirrel from Whimsy and Stars Studio.  This sweet little squirrel makes me smile.  I love her cute little face.
