OH my goodness. that barking has made my day. I was deeply engaged with the process and all those folding and glueing and stuff like that, then suddenly I heard that barking and said "EASY BOY" 😂 but to my own dog, who was sleeping on my feet and snoring and woke up of my voice! So confused, and giving that side eyes to me which means: OK now she definitely is loosing it😅

I feel your pain Cathy😮. At my age I stick to simple things every chance I get. Retired now, but being an RN gave my brain a ‘work out’ for well over 35 years!!! I enjoy watching you figure things out! I see me….in YOU!!!😂 Patricia

It's coming alone very nicely, I don't know how many people can read music, I can and yes it bugs me when people put it in the wrong way, usually side ways,but I can see the funny side of yours, it did make me laugh, I am looking forward to next Friday, I loved hearing your pups barking, it reminds me of Baz my late collie and Mav my late chihuahua and Jale my chihuahua, when your get the deep woof woof and loads of the tiny yaps yaps🐶🐶😊💐♥️

This is going to be amazing! I always have trouble getting my head around which way a pattern will be when you flip it! Marigolds are beautiful but unfortunately the snails and slugs (yuk!) in my garden think so too! 😂 Thank you for another wonderful project idea Cathy … ❤

[@CathysGardenllc]

Ruth Anne, This is a series that is on Friday’s. If you ever miss a video it is in the playlist under Fabulous Friday’s Junk Journal Series. Hope this helps. 💐🥰

[@flowerlady3150]

Loved this, thank you! Cannot find the marigold papers - could you be more specific as to the source? Thank you!

[@CathysGardenllc]

Flower lady, the marigold paper digitals have disappeared. There is another subscriber looking for the source too. Chapter one papers say it’s not theirs. I really thought they were theirs. I’ve looked and looked. Just don’t know at this point. 🤦‍♀️💐🥰

[@flowerlady3150]

Found it this morning in Mrs. Cogs - Flower Garden digital, Basilius.

[@CathysGardenllc]

Oh that is Fantastic!!! Thank you so much for letting me know! 💐🥰
