Goldfish in a Jar

Remember when you won a gold fish at the fair.
Then sent it home in a plastic bag — you had to
be careful all the way home.  When you got home
you had to find something to put it in until you
could get to the store to buy a fish bowl.

Today’s card made me think of all those
fair gold fish.

We used the Jar of Love stamp set and
the Seaside embossing folder for this
