I do have to tell you that when I saw it, I remembered a poem that we had to memorize in elementary school grade; Trees by Joyce Kilmer. You've probably heard the first line, "I think that I shall never see, a poem lovely as a tree." What you might not have heard are the remaining 5 lines, that include the words "breast" and "bosom." THAT is why I remember the poem so clearly. Imagine 23 awkward and self-conscious 5th graders trying to recite the poem without giggling. I went to a small Catholic school in very rural South Dakota, in 1968, so those weren't words we could normally say in public, Or, if we did, we ended up standing in the corner of the smelly coatroom or in Sister Johns office! Oh and I do remember that Jim Cooper DID have to spend time in the coatroom while we were reciting the poem because he wouldn't (couldn't?) do so in a "respectful manner" (our teachers words!!)
So, thanks for the fun memory, and know that I'll be giggling in my craft room while creating my card!!

Terrie - I really like the saying you used.
Mine is a family tree...it's made up of words and some of the type is pretty tiny, so I hope they show up in the picture!
