I'm not sure how we got here so fast, but here we are. Thanks to everyone for visiting by blog each day to look at my creations and comment. It has been a good week.

Happy Thursday. It kind of feels like Friday and still I wonder how we got to Thursday already. Funny how time works, isn't it? Thank you for checking out my creations this week!

Happy Tuesday! I hope your week is off to a great start :)<div><br /></div><div>Today's cards use the same image in two different ways. I looked at the Unity Stamp Blog to learn more about the <a href="https://blog.unitystampco.com/2023/04/technique-tuesday-rainbow-ink-smooshing-technique/" target="_blank">smoosh ink technique</a> by Crystal O. Minkler. I didn't have the same ink and wanted to do a smoosh teachinique and ended up looking at different ways to accomplish a similar effect with the supplies I had. I watched some other videos and used a page protector from a binder. I cut it so that it opened and then used ink and water color markers on the inside of the page protector, spritzed with water, closed it and rubbed the ink around, opened it back up and put glossy cardstock inside and closed the page again. After rubbing the ink onto the cardstock I opened it up, removed the cardstock and let it dry a bit before I used it to stamp my card base. </div><div><br /></div><div>The stamp kits I used were <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/playful-daisy/" target="_blank">Playful Daisy</a> and the Unity sentiment set <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/basically-said-june-2014-sentiment-kit/" target="_blank">Basically Said </a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT8mIy3Gj6IF1TMQXOv4I2Lnpqi8eKvl2RhAD9l_6HLdtxI6zu8wNEEdBjtneB_9lBVLD7bJMKhOwqDzplywvackXc-FLb0w_Q0wcUPeWviGBJWIx6dgWWy2t4t0V08eBbsKX_wibNHLfzYJ1Pu2VxP2UKacYStZMrqPMB1n9OPRtdFJ6PuGVdBmX1Aw/s4032/20230416_212857.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT8mIy3Gj6IF1TMQXOv4I2Lnpqi8eKvl2RhAD9l_6HLdtxI6zu8wNEEdBjtneB_9lBVLD7bJMKhOwqDzplywvackXc-FLb0w_Q0wcUPeWviGBJWIx6dgWWy2t4t0V08eBbsKX_wibNHLfzYJ1Pu2VxP2UKacYStZMrqPMB1n9OPRtdFJ6PuGVdBmX1Aw/s320/20230416_212857.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>I also used PlayfulDaisy and glossy cardstock for this card base, but I did not use the smoosh technique. <br /><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW_AOcaM69JC3NtsIjkQtkiCwnNHhkeSbeeR3HheYUCA04pJcxTkRA2Nzs8Dp26CUBDMU1sL49CNjl45JK2mwPMo--DMrcmOAPebM5RfRzLZj_4wM5zgApeRaG9qGgiq67kkHUHish6bXvqde1MITnXBUh2QSaPqJzxsSCVe-SZ2AYX9rV6uqgmtJnRA/s4032/20230416_212849.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW_AOcaM69JC3NtsIjkQtkiCwnNHhkeSbeeR3HheYUCA04pJcxTkRA2Nzs8Dp26CUBDMU1sL49CNjl45JK2mwPMo--DMrcmOAPebM5RfRzLZj_4wM5zgApeRaG9qGgiq67kkHUHish6bXvqde1MITnXBUh2QSaPqJzxsSCVe-SZ2AYX9rV6uqgmtJnRA/s320/20230416_212849.jpg" width="240" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks for stopping by today.

Welcome back to my space for our Growing in Unity Blog Hop for May and June. For this Hop, I decided to make some cards using one of my new sets <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/jot-it-down-background/" target="_blank">Jot it Down Background</a>. I love how versatile the notebook page is! I also used sentiments from <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/thanks-above-beyond-april-2015-sentiment-kit/" target="_blank">...thanks above & beyond</a>, the November 2020 Whit Kit <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/everything-in-between-wk-11-20/" target="_blank">Everything in Between</a>, and from <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/hello-little-one/" target="_blank">Hello little one. </a> I think these turned out really cute for being so simple. CanĀ“t wait to create more with this notebook page and other sentiments. <div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTmW666SbAIICNaPqQ4GS8Xokt9_egQV_yqIQGkYcLqmksD_xXJIpRSVwEaK5x3ltvPSegM0AgljOqv7kdLkQmMhzMctLxybHiJy5MmRFyMT1HA3YZ2-LdCOZI97dOrfLbSRm2sybAMzjR/s2048/20210725_000845.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTmW666SbAIICNaPqQ4GS8Xokt9_egQV_yqIQGkYcLqmksD_xXJIpRSVwEaK5x3ltvPSegM0AgljOqv7kdLkQmMhzMctLxybHiJy5MmRFyMT1HA3YZ2-LdCOZI97dOrfLbSRm2sybAMzjR/s320/20210725_000845.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdHXMPtqeowDouLWFXzIogDBGwDh2JjOUrngczCWzjPazvYHjt5iCaR1x00_loFZdod5wxwi_ip_yfCvXg8TJeg3oUBKfYpsp8aYfBgs55sbhIdFTHftWsTDK1YkIK8DqtnQNmeUKqI4vk/s2048/20210725_000853.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdHXMPtqeowDouLWFXzIogDBGwDh2JjOUrngczCWzjPazvYHjt5iCaR1x00_loFZdod5wxwi_ip_yfCvXg8TJeg3oUBKfYpsp8aYfBgs55sbhIdFTHftWsTDK1YkIK8DqtnQNmeUKqI4vk/s320/20210725_000853.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEfmO3gSlrjEcKvJxY2A7oKN_OLX0CHkv92EWuZVR0oXXSfl6pHzT4j8fGxjjio8jvycR58DF-kR_kLD0m63lbUBsxHNZ7LIrKyiTsrK49bfa6HR7HDcRojiGG-n8Nn7xSSzHDctSLuA1p/s2048/20210725_000900.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEfmO3gSlrjEcKvJxY2A7oKN_OLX0CHkv92EWuZVR0oXXSfl6pHzT4j8fGxjjio8jvycR58DF-kR_kLD0m63lbUBsxHNZ7LIrKyiTsrK49bfa6HR7HDcRojiGG-n8Nn7xSSzHDctSLuA1p/s320/20210725_000900.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Please visit <span face="Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: #f0f2f5; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tjskids/" target="_blank">Tammy</a> next.

I can't believe we are at day 5 already of my GIU week. It has been great sharing with all of you. Thank you for all of your wonderful comments. Today I have some bookmarks to share with you.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day. Today's cards are a necessity that I should make and have more of on hand. Unfortunately, we all need sympathy cards from time to time. I am a high school teacher and one of our senior students passed away in a car accident early yesterday morning. I have made some cards with toner fronts (I know, I know....I love them.) and various foil colors. I used the stamp set: <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/abundant-blessings-september-2017-sentiment-kit/" target="_blank">...abundant blessings</a> (Unity sentiment kit September 2017) for the With Sympathy sentiment and the set: <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/basically-said-june-2014-sentiment-kit/" target="_blank"> ...basically said</a> (Unity sentiment kit June 2014) for the Thinking of You sentiment. I know several people in this student's family, so will be sending these cards out this week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMWAvnCriEKG8Ij5cx4e3IiU9Mi2U4g0jlGbJBPx-UYRtgQ33dxNiwhMJocmYsYpL7TxmeFYqr7lgD_h25n-pcbZsbOx6F0hcsDVfHmLO3dcsdoPE-51D8pxhr-yJq6wRdRtvDzD0lCEmR/s2048/20210512_221216.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMWAvnCriEKG8Ij5cx4e3IiU9Mi2U4g0jlGbJBPx-UYRtgQ33dxNiwhMJocmYsYpL7TxmeFYqr7lgD_h25n-pcbZsbOx6F0hcsDVfHmLO3dcsdoPE-51D8pxhr-yJq6wRdRtvDzD0lCEmR/s2048/20210512_221216.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkshk0Cy6uzaDG-I25d2BqJ4QeqBhy-g0L1zJoAhJO3Es-Eo-daXHIOdZDKUDlpjfyIacvNgO_kiTLBWBQWpZnRnclwAr0YyVGXFaRNLKOnUa6JT9Zv_n59TML1EIqMjKlDDdIuJD1d3J7/s2048/20210512_223652.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkshk0Cy6uzaDG-I25d2BqJ4QeqBhy-g0L1zJoAhJO3Es-Eo-daXHIOdZDKUDlpjfyIacvNgO_kiTLBWBQWpZnRnclwAr0YyVGXFaRNLKOnUa6JT9Zv_n59TML1EIqMjKlDDdIuJD1d3J7/s320/20210512_223652.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMWAvnCriEKG8Ij5cx4e3IiU9Mi2U4g0jlGbJBPx-UYRtgQ33dxNiwhMJocmYsYpL7TxmeFYqr7lgD_h25n-pcbZsbOx6F0hcsDVfHmLO3dcsdoPE-51D8pxhr-yJq6wRdRtvDzD0lCEmR/s320/20210512_221216.jpg" /></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDiTMF27Uxvm2BmNfZ3mhi0a-Car_Nnxyi_6WeLH2zeXyD2fyrINWQAzFiL0YrJk5PBN8jtTDm5RgJBafIsy1T5ukWnmsLtHdxQFII2ndVqFbbTVKGhp53DDqzgJZw9zxJ1qOZE2DGB_UG/s2048/20210512_223804.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1485" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDiTMF27Uxvm2BmNfZ3mhi0a-Car_Nnxyi_6WeLH2zeXyD2fyrINWQAzFiL0YrJk5PBN8jtTDm5RgJBafIsy1T5ukWnmsLtHdxQFII2ndVqFbbTVKGhp53DDqzgJZw9zxJ1qOZE2DGB_UG/s320/20210512_223804.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6IHnJTTlnqI3HhX1qoHz2tIoqsoVT7x6afM_7itg41tCaC2-X7FuXl4j3NrD23j-LRU2NN5iojiQYXx4lwmY44w2rzK6V_0n8aLL4YPuQZdtr4JQl49Zjz68navQ3STkfPUKBP0cq9AVJ/s2048/20210512_223926.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1537" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6IHnJTTlnqI3HhX1qoHz2tIoqsoVT7x6afM_7itg41tCaC2-X7FuXl4j3NrD23j-LRU2NN5iojiQYXx4lwmY44w2rzK6V_0n8aLL4YPuQZdtr4JQl49Zjz68navQ3STkfPUKBP0cq9AVJ/s320/20210512_223926.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I learned some new toner/foil techniques today after watching Gaylynn's video and reading her post on the Unity Blog.

Happy Tuesday! Today's cards were created with a monochromatic design. I incorporated one of my favorite techniques, paper ripping and inking the distressed edges. I also used one of my new favorites - Decofoil and toner fronts. Have you tried this? So....Much.....Fun. And so easy, too. As a teacher and a mother, I don't have a lot of time right now for difficult projects. These came together pretty easily and I also got my daughter involved and she created a card, too.

For my project, I made two versions of the same one layer card. On one, I stamped the card with different colors and the other I used colored pencils to color the coffee cups different colors.<br />

I love, love, love the first one. The two I made for this post turned out well, too. I learned through card making and scrapbooking, that I much prefer to used textured cardstockā¦.and not all textured cardstock is created equal :) What is your favorite cardstock to use?<br />
<br />
I also have learned that simple cards
work best for me. Cardstock, stamp, ink, and washi is all I needed for these.
The stamps I used are from <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/all-worth-it/">All Worth It </a>by Melody Ross and another {wit &
wisdom} stamp. Thanks for stopping by this week and thank you for all of your wonderful comments. It's been fun! Make sure to comment today, too, for your chance to win Unity stamps!<br />

The week is going so fast. Today is the last day for the seniors. They graduate on Sunday and only have to come to school Friday for graduation practice and to visit the elementary schools that they attended if they choose. For the past few years, I have made a special treat for them.<br />

We have a celebration of their 5 years in Spanish. This year I used a Unity stamp to create their cards. They were very simple using white or red card stock and matting on the opposite. Red and white are our school colors. I distressed the sides of each as well. The stamp I used was <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/diploma-cap-gown-wit-wisdom/">Diploma Cap and Gown {wit & wisdom}</a>. </div>

Happy Wednesday! I am really excited about today's project as it was created for my daughter. She loves to color and draw, so I made a little book for her with stamps to color and inspirational quotes. On the pages with quotes, she can draw pictures or write notes. I think she will like it and I can't wait to give it to her.<br />
<br />
The book started out plain like this:<br />

I am Michelle and I am your {Growing in Unity} Girl this week. I am excited to show you my projects. I haven't been crafting in quite some time, so am happy to be crafting and blogging again. It's been a LOOOOONG time. I have loved Unity for 8 1/2 years and have more stamps and kits than I should probably admit. It was so fun to choose the stamps I would feature this week. The first stamp set I used is <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/elephant-behind/">Elephant Behind.</a> I have created two cards with this cute little elephant. One of the secretaries at the school where I work is retiring at the end of the school year and I thought that ~the end is near~ would be perfect for her. We have school until June 7th. When do the schools around you get out? I think we are late compared to many.
<br><br><br>
One of the things that I like to do, is create my own patterned paper with shaving cream, food coloring, and photo paper. You can see that both of my cards feature this. I have a Facebook Live Tutorial from last summer if you'd like to see how it is done. You can see it <a href="https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10155652063534612&id=759609611">here</a>.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day and please remember why today is Memorial Day. I am thankful for all of those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom and am thankful for their families. I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Be sure to comment all week for your chance to win some Unity stamps. Unity is also having a <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/">Memorial Day sale</a> until Tuesday at midnight CST.

I have been making a lot of sympathy cards lately. I shared a few last week, too. I never seem to have them when I need them and I unfortunately always seem to need them. Part of life, right. A friend and teacher who worked at the same high school as I do passed away yesterday after battling cancer for several years. I haven't seen her since right before her last surgery in mid December. She was a fabulous lady who had an infectious laugh and the most beautiful smile. She will be deeply missed! Two of my cards will be sent to her family. One from me and one from my parents. Here are my cards: <BR><BR><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6wyV6ruTdoVjcxFv0kTnX3DOY6I4KDgb5d6AEoA2GwMoKp6k2-EOepAS0ddm_q3Jrb1QV6DqrRIyJ9lT_dme9P75SlC0kYknuqf71oLnVBHWUcCYYKb4wCh1ix7n24i-l8tm5Rk6Ydf2S/s1600/sorrygeneration.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6wyV6ruTdoVjcxFv0kTnX3DOY6I4KDgb5d6AEoA2GwMoKp6k2-EOepAS0ddm_q3Jrb1QV6DqrRIyJ9lT_dme9P75SlC0kYknuqf71oLnVBHWUcCYYKb4wCh1ix7n24i-l8tm5Rk6Ydf2S/s400/sorrygeneration.jpg" /></a></div><br><BR>I may make this into a sympathy card, too. <BR><BR><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuaFFQJNIjCsQ9HzNEM04G01dmQj4PD0877lftMj4-r9z36Wxk1OZ8iw3_1P9QKVqxDENUfGsgHv0XzXTJH8gZt6SkgwUcjAahoTynlq36CxSWnVUaxTlgN-I5upA4mr7ziyyHEzNn-MIy/s1600/flowers2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuaFFQJNIjCsQ9HzNEM04G01dmQj4PD0877lftMj4-r9z36Wxk1OZ8iw3_1P9QKVqxDENUfGsgHv0XzXTJH8gZt6SkgwUcjAahoTynlq36CxSWnVUaxTlgN-I5upA4mr7ziyyHEzNn-MIy/s400/flowers2.jpg" /></a></div><br><BR><br><BR>I hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

I am sooooo excited that Spring Break is finally here! It has been a long time coming!!! This week I made some sympathy cards to keep on hand. I always seem to need one when I don't have one. Hopefully I won't need these anytime soon. Have a great weekend!!!

Hello from Wisconsin, everyone! What a beautiful day today was. A 48 degree, sun shining, snow melting day. It's starting to look and feel like Spring. Yay! I love Spring!! I have a quick card to show to you. It is a thank you card for my co workers. We have a fund at school called the Sunshine Fund. When someone is sick, has a death in the family, has a baby or gets married, they receive a gift from the staff of our high school. I recently had surgery and was given a gift certificate. Here is my card: <BR><BR>

Be You! Hi everyone! I was looking through Unity's sale items and notice this set: <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/comfy-cozy/">Comfy Cozy</a> I knew I had it, and I knew I had never used it. I tried to make the chair a fun, original color/pattern and thought the sentiment from <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/original/">this kit </a>went perfectly with it. <BR><BR>I love a little.....o.k....... A LOT of color in my living spaces. When I had recently moved into my new home and had just painted my living room a terra cotta color, a former neighbor came by to see our new place. When walking through, he asked if I was going to paint the living room. I replied.... <i>I....just....did</i>... His reply was that he wouldn't have painted it that color :) Oh well, I guess some colors aren't for everyone :) <BR><BR> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5GOJW_fvt-CXjTEl_RHvXX0q2XSM-7zAMxyM4bMuMXxTVqJKgqYEVhL9A0s7WWolDhnXsd6CJOcHCguB2RO5vnFGESqwqBNg2tBErw0UE4bRHdVZDPSdSlwVE2NYJ9IXIBvKdKU-y9zJi/s1600/chair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5GOJW_fvt-CXjTEl_RHvXX0q2XSM-7zAMxyM4bMuMXxTVqJKgqYEVhL9A0s7WWolDhnXsd6CJOcHCguB2RO5vnFGESqwqBNg2tBErw0UE4bRHdVZDPSdSlwVE2NYJ9IXIBvKdKU-y9zJi/s320/chair.jpg" /></a></div><BR><BR>I will link this up to <a href="http://www.theunitystampco-challenge.blogspot.com/2014/02/may-hope-sustain-you.html">Unity's {be inspired} challenge</a> as well.

Going back to school in the morning after a two day cold spell. It was too cold here in southern Wisconsin for us to have kids in school. Colder that I remember it being in a long, long time. What is cold? you ask....hmmm..... - 20 degrees real temp on Monday with -50 windchill and today was -13 with -30 windchill. That Is Cold. So with the time I had at home....I was able to crank out a couple of cards. Had been so busy over Christmas Break with celebrations and family, that I didn't have time to do much crafting. I thought about it quite a few times....but didn't get anything done. Christmas cards didn't get sent out this year, so I am sending out New Years cards instead. I looked through many examples and chose two I really liked from Pinterest. They are very similar and I based my card off of theirs. Here are the two that I found: <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/169659110936259390/">Card 1 by Ardyth</a> and <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/169659110936259493/">Card 2 by Cindy</a> <br><BR>
Here is my card: <br><BR><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzhX8NsgYY2G4VnO3J-R3vZLYIaauBzw2UhivK3PxTFF_cDj6z03lzTL80mO2LePKBx4RycswSjBV7F_tz5VKdenR30MbL2RGd50sS6IUC0xc3CWA-yaZ4gPJJHOXpL4Z3Y3GfL_06Y3qa/s1600/outside.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzhX8NsgYY2G4VnO3J-R3vZLYIaauBzw2UhivK3PxTFF_cDj6z03lzTL80mO2LePKBx4RycswSjBV7F_tz5VKdenR30MbL2RGd50sS6IUC0xc3CWA-yaZ4gPJJHOXpL4Z3Y3GfL_06Y3qa/s320/outside.jpg" /></a></div><br><Br>
