Scenic Sunday on Monday... and more!

Happy Monday Morning! I tried to post yesterday but it was NOT working. Let's try again because I have some FUN stuff to share with you! And be sure to read all the way to the end, because I have a super exciting announcement! First, here are the photos that my son and I took for you yesterday. Here is a "secret garden" behind a row of trees:That's my boy, Ashton in the foreground. Can you see the secret garden through the trees? There is some fruit tree growing back there, but I'm not sure what it is. And here is a Bean Field at dusk:
What kind of beans are they? I just don't know. Here is a close up of some of them:
They are fuzzy right now, and some of the fields are very yellow and dead-looking with dark brown pea pods. It's odd! Well, there is your scenic Sunday on a Monday! I hope you like the little glimpse of Italy this week. I'll have FUN stuff for you next week since my Mom and Brother are coming for a visit and we have fantastic "touristy" things planned! And now on to the crafty part of my post! Last Monday we had our VERY first Mystery Monday at Club Anya. Here is the card I made for Joni's Rule of 3's card:
Every year the ACES club here in Aviano does a Breast Cancer Awareness Walk. This year our theme is "Real Men Wear Pink!" so I used that theme as inspiration for this card! Ian looks so handsome in pink, don't you think?
And I hand-wrote the sentiment:
And of course, I had to make a pink ribbon:

I loved this challenge... and guess what? This week it's MY TURN! YES!!! Jessica asked ME to be the Mystery Monday Hostess! WAAAHOOOO! You can click HERE and read ALL about it. I'm so excited! This is starting off to be a fantastic week.
May God bless you this week, just as He has blessed me!

Oh Angie, I bet that secret garden could entertain the kiddos for hours! Love these scenic pics, one day I'll make it to Italy as it looks so pretty!
Your Ian card is soooo adorable, I commented on the Farm galleria! I love love your Hello Ian on the CA blog! (Go see what I wrote about you - heehee!) Congrats on hosting this week - I already have ideas swirling in my head. ;) I'll have to tell you that the hardest part is when Jessica asks you for your pick of who should win. Ugh. I hated it. ;) Happy Monday!

I think your beans are soy beans, not sure though, but that is what they look like!
