Each Thursday Alison Solven (my border buddy) and I create a card that we have CASEd. CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything or Copy And Selectively Edit. I have had the Dandelion Wishes stamp set for some time but haven't had time to play with it much yet. It is an excellent set for many different occasions.
Dandelions have some special meaning for me. I use to pick them and give to my grandma, and she would put them in a special little vase and keep them until they became puffs of seeds. This always made me feel so special, and like she valued my gift. Now my grandchildren bring me these unique yellow flowers, and it truly is the circle of life.
Do you have special memories of Dandelions, or are they just a pesky weed to you? Comment Here

What a beautiful memory! The dandelion you have pictured reminds me of when I was little and I would pick the wispy dandelions and blow on them to see the seeds scatter in the air. Oh, how they looked so pretty! Your card looks pretty too! Love the butterfly. Thank you for sharing your memory and your card!

Hi Patsy,
A week ago part of our yard was covered in dandelions. It was a pretty sight of yellow!
Yes, they are a pesky weed especially if our neighbors inherit them,but they are still pretty. I don’t drink, but I have heard you can make dandelion wine from them?!!
Maybe that can solve the problem of this weed.
