Hip Hip Hooray!


I've been busy catching up on all the swaps that are due in early March. I am particularly proud of this little number. I'm to cheap to buy the SU cloud stencil so I made my own, just cut some scrap cardstock into a cloud shape, and sponged on Tempteming Turquoise Classic Ink. I thought the results turned out very cute! Supplies Used: Hip Hip Horray Stamp Set, Classic Inks all SU. DP from Around the Block, Ribbon from Walamrt, Watercolor paper from Canson.

A Shout Out!...

Special shout out to my papercrafting friend, Heidi! She does WONDERFUL work with her cards, especially all that embossing! Visit Heidi's site for some great inspiration! Thank you Heidi for adding me to your stalker list!!!

If you want reliability...

Be sure and get the insurance. If you could see me right now, I got smoke coming out of my ears. I finally threw in the towel and bought a complete set of SU Inks on Ebay, and today was suppose to be the big day! Well no. The USPS LOST MY PACKAGE!!!!!!!!!!!! I about had a heart attack when the mail lady told me it was "lost", and in her exact words, "Its a good thing you got the insurance." (That tells you how much faith they have in their own work.) The PO lady proceeded to tell me that they have not been able to find "several packages lately." Yeesh. It seems like the postal customer service has declined a bit. I understand if this was a large city with multiple POs or millions of house holds to deliver too, but this is winky-dink Moses Lake, we have practically a ONE ROOM POST OFFICE! How is it possible to lose a package between my house and 7.5 minutes down the road to the PO.!!!!! Okay, enough venting........

The Moon made me do it!


Dont miss the eclipes tonight! Starting at 5:43 Seattle Time. Ending around 7:41Pm.

Forget the fun, all I want is to sleep!

Ohhh, how I long to have a few peaceful hours of nothing to do. I wish I can be a stay-at-home- doggie- mama. I dont want to work. I dont want to drive. All I want to do is sleep. Sleep. Sleeep. Sleeeeeeeeeeep.
That's all I ask for, sleep.
