Okay...so has my title peaked your curiousity? Not a normal blog title for me at all. On Friday, I was invited to go to a fund raiser sponsored by Junior Achievement (JA). One of my co-workers, Steve, is very active in JA and sponsored eight of us to go to a women's only gun shooting and wine tasting. Now don't worry, we shot the guns before we drank! Have to have some order. I tend to be cautious and have never shot a gun before, but it was a lot of fun. And...I even hit a few of the targets. Here's a shot of our team of four and one of me shooting.
Now...this does tie into my card for today too! I wanted to give Steve a thank you note for inviting me. Here is a fun masculine thank you following the theme of this week's
CAS-ual Friday challenge. Buttons and twine on a CAS card. Perfect for this card idea! And...did you see all the amazing entries into the challenge for last week? I'm sure this week is bound to be fabulous too!
Ingredients: Paper Company, Stamps: Hero Arts and Verve; Button and Twine: PTI; Ink: Peeled Paint and Pumice Stone

You look pretty comfortable with that gun, Miss Lynn! LOL! Maybe you should keep this picture handy for when the boys get a little rowdy... ;)

What a neat idea! I would love to do that with a bunch of friends. I've never shot a gun before either. . .you sure look like a pro, Lynn. Love the thank you card too. Have a great day! :)
Sounds like a fabulously fun day! I've never shot a gun before either but the wine tasting is right up my ally! :) I think this is a very fine thank you for such a fun invitation! It was fun reading about your day and glad you played along with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
guns and grapes...I love it!! I have never shot a gun either...my husband is an avid hunter too! I don't make him make cards so he doesn't make me shoot guns...however, add some girlfriends and wine and that sounds like fun! Gorgeous CAS...that twine and button are fabulous :) Will answer you SCS question later...just starting work here ;) ugh...I know...hey I just realized if you unscramble ugh you get hug!! That sounds a lot better! LOL

I volunteered for JA once and taught an elementary school class about business and I shot a rifle when I was 15! Now we have two more things in common. ;) Your card is awesome and so perfect for the occasion!
