I wanted to share this photo with you of a coyote that patrols/stalks our neighborhood! This photo was taken by Scott overlooking the wrought iron fence that runs along our back yard. I live near a mountain preserve and we have lots of desert wildlife running around. There has been a pack of four hanging out looking for food, I'm sure. I now carry a big walking stick when walking my fur babies to the mail box. Scott says to forget the stick and take a gun but I don't think the neighbors would appreciate that!
Thanks so much for visiting. Hope you have a safe and wonderful weekend! I'll be back Sunday, January 1st with an all new CR84FN! Be Sweet ;)

lol- just imagined you with a gun)
cute card!
Love this card, Mona! That is such a wonderful set from Pti and I love how you used it, the raindrops on the background are so pretty. I normally don't like rain that much, but I do on your card, hi hi. Wauw, that photo is amazing! I can imagine you have to be careful with them walking around, but it's also an awesome idea and the surroundings of your home look awesome!!! Very, very, very different from the view out my window!!! :-D
Wishing you and your family all the best for the new year!!
Hugs, Wendy
Such a sweet card ... love that umbrella ... and I love the photo ... he looks a lovely guy ... friendly or not ... reminds me of my German shepherds ... how lovely to be able to see wildlife running around ... the most we see are foxes and squirrels!!
Aw! The card is really pretty! The Hallmark cards are okay but they are never unique. At Kohls, the almost never have dimensional cards which I love! Homemade cards are always the best because they are one of a kind and sentimental.
love your umbrella card...soooo sweet...happy new year Mona!
Sweet umbrella card, Mona! Love the two patterns! Amazing photo of the wildlife in your neighborhood! Wow, you have to be careful! Happy New Year!!
Gorgeous card, Mona! Love the rain theme! We need some here!! I saw the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and thought it was suspenseful but not as good as the book (as usual). Still worth seeing though! Thanks for sharing that amazing photo of the coyote! Wow, he's just roaming around just outside your backyard? Creepy!!! Life in Arizona, I guess! TFS!
Just wanted to pop in and wish you and yours a Happy New Year
I love the picture of the coyote, how wonderful to see so many animals but could be scary if you are walking a fur baby.
Cute card and image-would be a great thinking of you or encouragement card.
Take care and hugs
Mona, Thanks for the photo of the coyote! What a great shot - beauty and danger all rolled into one! Glad you're enjoying time with the kids - your card is great - love the lavender with the newsprint!
Adorable card, mona! Love the sweet umbrella and the "rain" background! Neat photo of the coyote!
That umbrella is sooo adorable. We've seen Mission Impossible. It was sooo good!
Darling card Mona. More purple again! I love it.
I don't think I would take a gun...be careful though. That could turn ugly quick. I wanted to see the Sherlock Holmes, but someone told me it wasn't good. I did see Twilight and loved it. :)
Happy New Year.
Hugs~
Lovely card, Mona. The sentiment is so true and the umbrella is adorable. Happy New Year. Looking forward to a new CR84FN challenge....any hints?
I would carry PEEPPER spray, & MAKE SURE it WORKS <(^.^)> Also if U want to keep them @ bay, they fear Lion's or other BIG Cata, if U go to Your Local Zoo, request of the zoo keeper the BIG Cat's waste straw, (This has the odor of the urine, it will keep the cotes AWAY, till the next big rain) That or even DEER SCRAM, wich is easier to buy @ your local nursery(this might ??work) but 4 sure the waste straw fm the zoo WILL WORK 2 keep them away! I would't b able 2 sleep, how brave u must B! Ur card IS very delightful I love the colors u chose it makes for anyone who would be feeling "blue"(no pund intended) to feel up-lifted! I wish U Ur furry friends a SAFE new year W many moments of joyful memory makings:)
Beautiful design Mona!!! Love the mix of DP and the darling umbrella! Loved the photo of the wildlife! I hope you and your little pups stay safe !
Lovely card, Great papers and sweet umbrella. As always, just super!
Great photo of the coyote - not sure I want to be that close to one. No guns, but perhaps one of those loud air horns might be useful!!!
Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!
This is gorgeous Mona! I love the umbrella set, it's on my wish list! Have a happy new year!
lovely card, mona:) scary visitor! happy new year to you!
Gorgeous card Mona!!! Love the beautiful umbrella! Kinda creepy that you have such wild things in you backyard!!! I'd keep some pepper spray handy! No guns!

Love your card, Mona!!! So creative as usual! Thanks for sharing that photo and story about the pack of coyotes in you neighborhood; kinda scary!
