  6. Loving your cards, especially that first one with the baseball, glove and bluebonnets. I was thinking about getting the bluebonnet stamp, now thinking a bit stronger about it. :) Love this warm weather, finally, of course it seems in TX it goes from 20 to 100 very quickly. Have a great Valentines Day.
