We're all familiar with the phrase "Reap what you sow" but this cute image from House Mouse Stamps makes me wonder about the wisdom of a tiny mouse sowing Catnip seeds! If, indeed, he reaps what he sows, he may have a field full of cats which isn't really what a mouse would want! On the other hand, maybe he's just warm and neighborly and believes in taking care of all creatures, friends or foes.
Or maybe he's like me and any excuse will do to get out into the garden, my favorite place to be! :-D

I think I'll get away from the computer and go play in the garden for a bit. The weather this morning is a perfect balance of warm and still cool enough to be comfortable outside but that is slated to change drastically this afternoon and over the Memorial Day weekend. We'll be in the mid to high nineties later today and they are predicting a 5 day (or more) run of temps over 100 F starting on Monday. Yuck! I guess summer is officially here even though the calendar says it's still 3 weeks away.
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Love the mouse sowing catnip, Connie! This is a wonderfully sweet card, perfectly colored. The burlap is a nice touch of texture and the water can charm is so cute. We appreciate your participation and thank you for playing along at Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #445.
Haha I love your little story about the catnip. I see Australia is being overrun with mice at the moment, perhaps they need some catnip seed? A wonderful card that made me smile. Thanks for sharing with us at House Mouse & Friends, come again soon. CarolG
