So this morning as I got ready for my treadmill trek, I try to walk a mile a day and a while ago I bought the TV series Reba to watch as I walk….I have told you that before. I turned the TV on while I was getting my shoes on and CMT was on and the video by Reba and Kenny Chesney “Every Other Weekend” came on. I had never seen the video before only heard the song on the radio. I just assumed that Reba and Kenny would be on it. So as I was watching it, I see that the guy getting out of the car is Van and the girl in the other car is Cheyenne, these are the daughter and son in law from the TV series. So then the kids get out of the Mum’s car Cheyenne, and run to the Dad, Van. I am thinking No! No! No! Van and Cheyenne did not get a divorce. Now I know it is all a TV show and I am sure that they are not playing Van and Cheyenne in the video, but that is what I am sure everyone is thinking, and that is what I am totally thinking….as I sit there and cry with one shoe on and one shoe in my lap.
So I am like whatever, I am watching Reba, and I’ll be darned if the next dang show I watched was the one where Van and Cheyenne had their baby, and then I was crying again. So I am thinking Reba had better make a new video where they get back together, or she better let me know that they were not portraying Van and Cheyenne in the video, even though there was a girl and a little boy, the same as the show!!!
So I played around with this card, and I definitely like it better with some more color…
I colored the flowers with the new Riding Hood Red and Not Quite Navy, then I stamped on black cardstock with white craft ink with Itty Bitty Backgrounds a bunch of times to get a bunch of little dots and then punched them out with the 1/2″ circle punch and added a gel pen highlight and it changed the look of the flowers.
This looks better eh?
Now to get all my swap cards done tomorrow, and my gifties…plus I really would like to get a tutorial done for you for Tuesday, even though I will be in SLC.
So tomorrow is gonna be busy…oh yeah, and pack!
I also need to be thinking of my next blog candy, I am over 81K hits! 100K is not far away! Let’s see what can I find?????
Thanks so much for stopping in!

Love this card! It is soo cheerful. I am a sucker for polka dots!
I am so glad I am not the only one who totally loves Reba. I didn't watch it when it was on tv, but I watch all the re-runs now (and I didn't see the music video yet!) Oh and I love the card!
Thanks for sharing!

The other one was pretty, but this one really POPS!!! Love it!
OMG…..I'm so confused…..Are Van and Cheyenne married in real life? I googled that video….it's VERY sad. It is cool that they are both acting though.
Did you notice the new series beginning in the Fall called Privileged? The tutor is Cheyenne…..no sign of Van though ;-}
See you TOMORROW!!!!!!!
