Wild Wild Cactus Monday

My submission for Cactus Monday was inspired by some pillows a lady had this last week that she had bought in Cancun, Mexico. They were hand appliqued, and each section was sewn with a blanket stitch around the edge. I also had a wild week this past week betweeen work and cleaning to get ready for Thanksgiving, and I am also anticipating a wild week again with only a 4 day work week! So, without further adieu...here it is "Wild, Wild Turkey Week"! Please do not overlook the Saguaro Cactus!!!!

Made free hand with printed cardstocks, added pics from magazines, Sharpie pen, and Wild West Font printed off computer. A touch of craziness, just like we all feel this time of year. LOL.
I hope all of your week goes well, and that you have a lot of fun. I sure am grateful for a lot of things, and so very grateful for all of you! I enjoy reading your blogs, all your comments, and learning so much from you. Thanks!!!

    It seems to me that the turkey is trying to hide behind that cactus. I guess we'll know in a few days whether or not he succeeds...

    HAPPY CACTUS MONDAY!!

    Hugs!
