Thank Ewe

Many moons ago, Main Squeeze, Princess A and I hosted an Open House. At that point we had owned our new home for 10 months, so it was time. Here we are two months later and I still owe some thank you notes. All I can say is we never expected gifts, and the stamp room was in complete disarray (Hence the sporadic blog posts for such a long time) Fortunately Scrappy came to the rescue!

My one goal for this week was to complete a card for the Crafty Hos. After all, I am supposed to be a member of the DT. Now that Princess A is back in school,  and I have had some time, I was able to finally organize the stamp room with my new storage units (I ♥ The Container Store!). It is not quite done, but I can walk across the floor without injuring myself or breaking anything, and I can easily access all of my supplies! As Princess A mentioned the other day upon glancing in, "wow, this room is cleaner than it has been since we moved in!"

This weeks Crafty Ho Challenge is a Sketch Challenge:

Immediately, I thought of the farm as the main image. The rest followed from there. Princess A looked at the card for several moments and stated, "I don't get it".

I really need to find a "Thank Ewe" stamp.

Be the Dog

The other day I was outside with Roxy, throwing a tennis ball and eating a handful of M&M's. OK, more than a handful. After each return, Roxy would look at my fist hopefully, but received no candy. I told her, "M&M's aren't good for dogs. Frankly they aren't good for people either."

This got me thinking. I wonder, if dogs were the superior being (as we humans like to consider ourselves), would they destroy their bodies with the doggie equivalent of our junk-food and bad habits?

I tend to think they would do a better job of living.
