Need a HUG on Farm Fresh Friday?..

I am such a hugger.  Everyone I know gets a hug whether they like it or not sometimes, heehee.  Although, today maybe I should keep my distance as I think we may be coming down with some sort of stomach bug...I really hope not!  I have too much to look forward to this weekend.  My sister is coming into town, my brother and his wife will be here for Easter Sunday, and two of my aunts are coming to visit the week after.   I unfortunately have a bit of a rumbly tumbly as Pooh says...and the kids are all battling this bug but hopefully it'll pass quickly!!!

We have an awesome challenge at TGF today, but first, I had to share a photo with you... As I posted before, my boys' birthday was Wednesday and one of the things they got was new bikes.  I just had to post this pic as I'm playing around w/ Picasa because they are SO cute riding them and were so excited I just had to share these cute pics before I get to my card:

Aren't they adorable if I don't say so myself?   We had such a great time and it's been gorgeous here as I hear it has been in lots of the country.  Was 84 and sunny yesterday and about 80 the day before.  LOVE that!

Today over at The Greeting Farm's blog we have our Farm Fresh Friday challenge and its a fabby sketch by my good friend Cindy Haffner:

Here is my take on the sketch using the adorable new set "Buddies" featuring Oliver and Amelia.  This set is NOW AVAILABLE at The Greeting Farm!   Sentiment is from the new Unity set, Inside and Out, also released yesterday!

In addition to really liking the sketch, I ADORE this quote:

"A kiss without a HUG is like a flower without the fragrance"...Isn't that SWEET?

Speaking of SWEET...look at this cutie Amelia!  I love this set, which does come with some super cute sentiments even though I didn't use them for this particular card.  You know me...ya get an idea in your head and gotta roll w/ it, right? Anyway, the characters are so fun to color and these little lovables could NOT be any cuter!   Be sure to stop over to see the rest of the TGF DT's creations on the TGF Blog!  There's a prize up for grabs this week, as usual!  Also be sure to stop by the blogs of my teammates:
