Flashback Friday 18.0! OWLS!!!

Wow, I am not a huge fan of the owls...although I used one just a short while back. But this was my first "owl" card that I made not so long ago...May, 2010 to be exact.  It was for "Send Love Today" for kids with brain tumors.

I remember the stamp I had with me at this particular retreat had only the words "Whoooo... "  and then "thinking of you" so I had to adlib and add the "is" and the "?"
Looking back, I would definaltely do it differently today. 
Like I said, this blog challenge really takes you back.
