Happy April Fools Day!! Have you all played a great prank on someone today!? Hopefully you were the prankster, not the victim!!
Growing up, I wasn't a big fan of this day. I have three brothers, no sisters... so I was always the victim. I tried not to be gullible, but it didn't always work! I think the best prank happened when I was about 2, my brother Scott was 4, and another brother Larry was about 19. Larry was getting ready for work, and Scott came in from outside and told him that all four tires on his Jeep were FLAT!!! Larry, of course, was angry, and ran outside as fast as he could to see what would possibly cause all four tires to go flat. And he turned around, and there was Scott standing at the front door just CRACKING UP!! He got pranked by a FOUR YEAR OLD!!! :) Good times. My brother Scott has always been the biggest tease. He absolutely loves pulling pranks. I hated that growing up, but looking back it was pretty funny. Now he has an eleven year old son that is JUST like him. So he's getting a taste of his own medicine! haha.
For my craft today, I decided to send an April Fools Card to my Nephew. (Scott's kid.) Do you know how hard it is to come up with a CARD forApril Fools!? It was sure hard for me anyway!! I had to dig into the brain of my mom for this one. I went to her last week and asked, "Do you have ANY idea of something funny that I could use for a card for April Fools?" She thought for a second, and said, "Why don't you make a real fancy Christmas card, and make sure it says 'Merry Christmas' on the front. Then, when it opens up, you can say April Fools!" I LOVED that idea!!!!!
Instead of using a Christmas card though, I used a Halloween one. Not because Halloween is my favorite holiday, but because I already had this card half done!! I had this simple A2 size card already:
Thanks for the idea mom!! I hope you like my card for today.
Have a nice day, and watch out for all those lil' pranksters out there!
