Fond Memories of Peter Rabbit

What on earth does that title have to do with this post?

The color inspiration over at this week's Just Us Girls Challenge used

this fabulous print from Beatrix Potter's most beloved Peter Rabbit.

My wonderful friend Mona is on the JUGS team and I have been

promising that I would try and play soon.

THIS was the perfect inspiration to make that happen!

Before I share my fond memories of Peter and his friends, 

here are the details on this card.

The stamps fun mushrooms are by Hero Arts and the

sentiment is from Scrappy Cat.

(Just as a fun fact, the 'shrooms were stamped in

Adirondack Mushroom ink from Ranger)

The polka dot papers are from

DCWV 'Linen Closet (the brown) and

My Mind's Eye 'Quite Contrary' (the yellow).

The flower is a fab silk blossom out of Michael's $1 bin,
that I actually got for 25 cents.  Such a deal!

Nearly 26 years ago, I decorated my daughter's entire nursery in

Peter Rabbit...from head to toe or ceiling to floor.  Part of the memory

that is so precious to me is that while our family was away on a little

vacation, my dad was walking by this very upscale baby store

and there was this Jenny Lind crib all decked out and he asked

if I liked it...I LOVED it.

Over $350 later (a LOT of money 26 years ago)

I was on my way home with this beautiful set.

Yes, I do still have some bits and pieces tucked 

away in a cedar chest.

So tell me...do you or maybe your children

like Peter Rabbit and Friends?
I would LOVE to hear about it. 

One more thing...I say this a lot, but I can't tell you how

much I appreciate your comments when you stop by.

I want to be able to reciprocate, but I can't do that if

I don't know you were here, so please take a moment

to just say hi because I would LOVE to visit your

blog in return...after all, that's what it's all about!
