Something must be wrong with me

UPS came with my Holiday Catty preorder. I opened the box,

I ordered the new 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon (thinking masculine)

Sweater Weather DSP

and the Harvest of Thanks stamp set.

yep 4 hours later it is still sitting right there!

I had something too much more interesting and exciting to play with.

Momma was so not approving of the photo session, she blocked my view every chance she got!

They are Old English Bantams, the little guys are less than 2" tall. that is a 2x4 behind him. (or her, I can't tell yet! LOL)

Daddy went into the house and made lots of noise but no attempts to come out and be a man! LOL

Now i am anxious for my grandson MJ to get her to see them!

My little MJ

He's getting so tall! not even 2 years old yet!

Get Well for Jan

Found a challenge to make a get well card.

SUO Challenges 

 I didn't need 1, but figured I could make it up and just toss it int he stash.

So off to find a color combo idea I liked. Stumbled on someones board on Pinterest (of course)

Then from there over to a new blog Dynamic Duos. The Challenge there was for Subtles, but I really liked a card Halley had made, So here is my CASE of her BABY card.

Used my new DSP Afternoon Picnic, it coordinates with Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzazz and Very Vanilla 

I tried out a new Debossing idea I found on You Tube for Karen Burniston, using her Framelits she created for SU.. I can't believe I did it! LOL

Not happy with my sponging, but that Crushed Curry seems so BAM to me anyhow.

The  5/8" Organza Ribbon seems to work well 

Then when I found something else I liked, and clicked on Like Me on FB, I learned one of my good friends is having heart trouble, so I guess this card gets  a home after all.

Not happy to need it now. 

P.S. BTW my table isn't so cleared anymore!

Make sure you're sitting down

I cleaned off my table.
Well, almost

Tommy didn't get moved.

I wanted to clean the table off, before MJ comes to visit. Tommy thinks he is helpful by pushing things off. 

Critters

Tasha has to be right in my way I tell you! She is literally right on the edge of the table

Wilbur and Tommy, must be too hot to fight today!

Wilbur chasing Spike. 

Wilbur found a plastic tie to play with, odd thing to ring out the kitten in him.

Poor doggies are so hot,

Happy 4th of July!

I made this in MDS

I love how you can add color to a stamp image where you want.

Humm good question..

I was asked by a newbie "What should I bring with me for workshops?'

I answered "Your basic tool kit"

"Well, what' in that?"

I came up with a few, but now I wonder what do you all take along with you? Please leave a comment,  and link back to your blog so I can come visit!!
