My Son-in-Law has recently gotten into woodworking so this image of Mr. Brown from Phindy's Place is perfect for a card for his upcoming birthday, especially since the first thing he made was a bird house.
The challenge this week at Phindy's Place challenge blog is a 1, 2, 3 Recipe challenge - 1 image, 2 designer papers and 3 embellishments.
You don't have to use a Phindy image but with so many fabulous ones in her store and a chance to enter twice if you do, why wouldn't you?
I did get my husband to go through the closets and get rid of some of the clothes he hasn't worn in ages and then I did the same. On top of that, I went through all the drawers, the bathrooms and storage closet and boy have I ever purged. There are 7 large green garbage bags ready to go to Goodwill and 2 for the garbage. My back is killing me but I feel super satisfied with all I have accomplished this week. I still have a few things to wear but I will really have to do some shopping - oh woe is me!

Penny's Paper Crafty - Anything Goes
Scrapbook Sisters - Squares
Top Tip Tuesday - Dig out the Old (Lacing)
Great Impressions - Anything Goes
One Stitch at a Time - Anything Goes
Crazy 4 Challenges - Birthday Card

Such a great manly card Cec. Sounds like it will be perfect for you SIL, since he is into wood working! Way to go on the purging, feels good to get rid of a lot of stuff!
