When Pigs Fly: Cup of the month by Cheri Piles using Graphic 45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe

Cup of the month project

by Cheri Piles

Using: Graphic 45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe

There's actually a funny little story behind this months project...

You see I turn the big "39" next month...HOW can that be?!? I don't feel THAT close to 40! Well, at my house we jokingly say I will always remain 29!

When I saw this line by Graphic 45 I could not stop laughing, it was the first thing that came to mind and I knew I would be using bits and pieces of it for just that! WHEN PIGS FLY!! HA!!

  

So there you have it, it's a little pre-birthday fun!
