**megs3084** & April cyclers

I can make you an April badge, if you'd like. I did the June Bugs, August Beach Bums, October P.Patch, Dec Snowbunnies and the March Lucky Ducks.

But if someone else wants to make one, they should have an opportunity to do that. Clearly I've had my chance.

If not, let me know what kind of imagery the group wants and I'll come up with 2 or 3 that fit the bill.

BzeetyD = 38, Mr. BzeetyD = 44 together 12/02 married 9/08

    I was actually the one that suggested April showers and made the suggestion of the watering can watering flowers. I thought a rain storm may be depressing but watering a flower would be a more of an upbeat occasion! Hopefully like the outcome of our FET/IVF cycles!
