It's a Girl Thing....

Happy Tuesday!  I have some exciting news to share with my blogging/crafting friends today, to go along with my card that I created for this weeks challenge over at Elphine House Australia.  the challenge there is called "It's a Girl Thing".....  Well my news truly is a "Girl Thing"


I wonder if you can figure out what my exciting news could possibly be, after seeing the card I created for this weeks challenge.

Any Guesses?

For this card, I used papers that I dyed myself, other than the brown paper in the background which is from DCWV.  I used my copics for coloring, and most of the things you see on this card are just odds and ends from my stash. 

Do you have any ideas yet, what my exciting news could be?  Guess WHO is expecting?  I just recently found out that I will become a new mother sometime in December.  It was definitely a shock to me, I never expected such news, since I was once told I couldn't have anymore children.  I have one who is 17 now, and here we are, starting all over.  I found out, just 2 days before Easter, so this news is truly an Easter Miracle for sure.  Even though I've used "girl colors" of course it is too soon to know which colors I will be decorating a nursery with, but I just couldn't help but to share my news with my blogging friends.

I am also entering this card into these challenges.
