During the chaos!

 Oh this is just awdul! But it was my descion!!
Cutting out the half wall where the closet was and turning the desk gave me 2' more in width!Actually it gave me an additional 2'x5' space!

My poor room got attacked!

BEFORE

 Standing in the doorway looking in, straight at the desk

 That window faces North, and I dropped a bottle of stamp cleaner on the floor, the next day it was frozen!

 My poor table.. I sit there to color and stamp.Now I can't even find it! Stamps and ink, and paper in the corner.

 TV and music on the South wall

The cats chair, and oh my addiction! those little plastic drawer units!

Tea Time with Strawberries

I so CASE'd this card from
stampcrave
httpwww.splitcoaststampers.comgalleryphoto1858917s ort=&page=&sortby=&sorttime=&sortd ir=

far from as 'pretty' as hers, but it's what I came up with. I need a different paper I think!

I used a sheet of Graphic 45 paper... loved it till I cut it up!
It was Miss Manners

Christmas Cards for 2011

 I CASE'd this layout from Le blog de Cath
The Green sparkly dot paper is from my scraps stash

 I CASE'd this layout from Le blog de Cath

The image is one form a SWAP I joined. Sorry no clue what stamp it is or who makes it!

I used CB Folder Dots then a Gold Leafing pen

I kinked my base a tiny bit and so I "fixed" it!

It actually still worked well for the sketch!
The CS is Bazill; Sprout, Aloe Vera, Pear and Leap Frog

The stamp is a a clear one I borrowed.
And 3 Dew Drops!

Holiday Greetings!

My mom and Raye Lynn (sister) bought this big book of printed Christmas DP.
Card stock actually, and it had 3 or 4 sheets of each design and they shared with me!

I had also printed out MOJO 2010 Sketch book and gave them a copy.

I challenged them to make a card using one of the sketches. I'd do it too just to see how different they would turn out.

So my mom picked one of the sketches and Raye picked a paper.

It has sleighs on it and my very first thought was the "Santa told me" story. Well once I cut the DP I no longer had that thought!













The CS is from Archivers. AC brand. Mostly shades of Grey but the small border punch piece and the base is a blue.
The Nesties is Label #9 a gift form my SCS Friend holly! (thank you so much)
the Stamp is SU and the ink SU Night of Navy
The ribbon, my mom gave and it took the WHOLE spool to do these 8 cards! Uff Da!
It was from her stash that could be from the 70's (she hoards ribbon i tell ya! LOL) I love looking in those drawers... she has tons, but I am not much into using it on cards.. I'm trying though!

Thank you for looking!

Wilbur...

He looks so innocent doesn't he? Well let me tell you!
He runs through the house like a mad man (Crazy cat!) He found a cap from a pop bottle and he played with that thing, up and downt he hallway all night long! Wehn we would get up to go take it away.. he would pick it up and run away with it! HE knew!!
He can not just walk past the other crittes, he has to attack them!
Poor Joker can't sleep without Wilbur walking up and biting his feet.. he is such a brat!

You've seen pics of Louie, he's is nearly 2' long his head is the size of a soft ball and he weighs about 20#. Wilbur likes to sneak up behind him and jump on him.. no brains I tell ya! Louie couldn't care less though thankfully!

 Anti Social too! We can not pet him unless it's on his terms. If he walks by and I just reach out and touch him, he makes this odd noise and starts cleaning himself!
But now when he wants attention he is in your face demanding it! This litte guy can purr too! Holy buckets is he loud!
We were laying in bed watching TV and Wilbur was on my pillow purring ... I could feel it!

Last night he wanted attention, so he was in my lap, then all of a sudden he was on my desk.. in my way as you can see. So I set him on the floor.. he came right back up in front of the screen! BRAT!
I was posting on SCS and I had to look around him to find the button.. he was following the mouse!
Oh now I am  laughing so hard at him, this was too much!
I wish I had gotten a picture of him with a mirror I set down at his level Between him and Joker I was in tears!  Wilbur was angry about this other CAT and Joker wanted to play wit the new DOG!
