My 1,000th Post!!! and Best Buds!

Good Monday Afternoon!!!! 

I've made it to my 1,000th post today!!! Woo Hoo!!! It's official!!! LOL!!! 

I would have reached it last week, but you know how real life sometimes demands some attention and time - 

it was nice to take some unintentional time off again and reflect :) 

Of course in celebration of my 1,000th post and 3 years of blogging, 

I will be having some giveaways and blog candy in next month, for October!!! 

Lots of fun stuffs going on in October!!! Every week I will have something to show my appreciation to all my bloggy friends and followers! Thank you to all for always being here and around! It's what keeps me going around here most of the time :) 

For today, I have the latest The Pink Elephant Challenge to share with you! 

"Alex and Noah" Digital Image by Wax Fruit Company 

Aren't they a cute pair!? Best Buds! Just like my boys :) 

This week, Ella is challenging you to draw inspiration from this pic:

AND, we are also being sponsored by 

Arielle Gordon of the Wax Fruit Comapny! 

One lucky random winner will win a $15 gift certificate to the

Wax Fruit Company Store!!! 

Yes, my card doesn't exactly match the inspiration pic for this week's challenge, 

but I did try to draw some inspiration from it by including some green and circles in the card.

I didn't realize until after I chose my image, that the colors where so girly with the green and pink combo;

so I replaced the pink with the red... sigh, sorry! but y'all know how to play along better than I do this week, right?! LOL! 

Please be sure to visit the rest of the DT and their absolutely out-of-this-world creations!!! 

Happy Monday!!!
