This has to be my 10th time in trying to post this card. Connie shared a picture of her monarch butterfly on another board and I made a card from it. It was supposed to have been a pyramid card, but I just made it a single shot card. The butterfly is so pretty and I think it made into a nice card. Thanks Connie for sharing the picture. Gi  Ginny |

Vikki - I order all of my peel-offs from Pop-ups by Plane Class and the website is: shop.imacrs.com shop.imacrs.com/main.sc;jsessionid=D0158CD0961CCF4B947B9F5117A7EDC9.qscstrfrnt01 I have dealt with him (Jerry Stevens) for at least 5 years and have always been very satisfied. He has other items besides the peel-offs and you can see them on the site. Most sheets are $1.80, but you can sometimes get them for $1.20. I usually have what I order within 5 days. He also has a "sticker club" where you pay $15 a month and he automatically sends you a package of new/popular/and some you may never use and I think there are at least 10 sheets. I did that for a while, but stopped when we went up north. His e-mail is: stevens@fmtcs.com if you can't get into the imacrs site for some reason. Ginny |

I too was wondering about the trim. Thanks for giving the web site.
Glad you enjoyed the butterfly picture. Monarchs have a huge place in my life. Not sure why, but they do.
I am starting to be knee deep in the caterpillars right now.
I spent the morning picking monarch eggs-I will refrigerate these eggs for 10-15 days, that will help me supply teachers when school starts.

Connie how did you get started with the butterflies? It sounds like a unique hobby.

Hi Everyone Tiny Coco, I really do not remember the starting of this hobby. I had kids, kids love bugs, I started teaching pre-school and I was suddenly in charge of pre-school science and then it started to grow slowly. I shared with my kids teachers and then other teachers. Then when I retired I had one year before I started to care for my elderly mother-in-law and I did some classroom presentations and then when I could not do that anymore I just started telling teacher, come and get them. Last year I think I had caterpillars in well over 100 classrooms. During the summer I give to daycare's and nature centers. I was never into Mom's clubs or school boards, so I look at it as this is my way of giving back to the community. Different, but I like doing it. I went egg gathering tonight. I am sure there are over 100 eggs in this vile. I will refrigerate for 10-15 days and then let them start developing. Connie  |

Thanks Connie for posting the other pictures of the butterflies. I am going to save those as well - they make up such pretty cards.
