I DO! I DO!!

Hope you al enjoyed the weekend. Jay did house projects, since the bank stuff looks really good-and we may get to out our house up and afford the new house we want 😀 I stamped (which I rarely do on weekends), the kids danced in the rain-after a HOT day, it was such a cool thing to sit back and watch-got me sort of teary.  Then we hit an awesome deal at a yard sale!!

NOTE: If you have emailed me with a non stamp purchase, and have not heard from me-PLEASE just re-email me! I most likely forgot you in the shuffle. I do read all my emails, but often can’t respond right away. Each one is important 😀 So don’t think I ignored you. Thanks for your patience.

OK I know you didn’t come here to hear all that so here we go.

I am so excited for all the releases coming out. Really amazing stuff.

This next set is another MUST HAVE. 

I am so into Owls right now (aren’t we all???) that its insane. 

Im really excited to share this next  owl image-with the NEW! Q.T. Hooty from Pink Cat Studio. This set will release on the 12th.

This particular image is particularly exciting for me because it was part of my input to the set!!! That is part of the fun of some DT’s. With this set all the DT contributed some great ideas that made it into one awesome owl set, thanks to Melissa’s ROCKIN skills.

I also LOVE that this set has some supah cute sentiments 😀 Always a plus.

Hooope you feel better-tea holder

I decided it make a cute little tea bag holder-going with the Hooope you feel better theme. I mean really, why send just a card??? Make it a little pkg instead. Tea always helps those yucky colds.

Inside you can fit 6 tea bags. 3 in each one of the small glassine bags. This one has Chamomile tea. I thought it was so cute.

The owl was colored, then flocked 😀 The paper & branch are from Crate Paper- The Blue Hill collection (hello love it!) The die cut was perfect.

OH MELISSA…………………Are you reading?? You need a branch set for all your lovely owls!!! (hehehe) One that can double as just a pretty branch 😀

Hoot Hoot Hooray! 28

How cute right?? I wanted this one peeking out from the tag. I loved the lay out.

I used Basic Grey-Cupcake collection for this, and the number are my Red Tag alpha. Now if you are going to ever get just ONE alphabet for your Cuttlebug (and if you don’t own a cuttlebug yet WHY NOT???!!!) THAT alpha is my most used, and most favorite!! EVER!!

This card is for my brother’s 28th Birthday. I think its a cute guy card. He loves getting my cards (or so he says). I doubt he keeps them, which is fine. My mom made him an amazing huge photo frame with a collage of ORIGINAL photos of her and him, my dad as a child-really sentimental stuff-obviously only to my mother, because my brother left it behind at one of the random places he decided to crash at. Now he can’t get it back. My poor mom’s heart is just broken. You can’t replace that stuff you know! This is before digital cameras!!!  So the thought he MAY keep this card is a bit of a reach! LOL!

I still have dolls I played with as a child in MINT condition-original clothing. They were like my real babies to me as a girl. UGH! Anyway. I’m amazed how how different we are sometimes.

WOW! Was that ever random. EEKK! I better drink more coffee! LOL!
