Not a Princess-y Birthday

Princess A turned 17 yesterday! I cannot believe how quickly time goes by. Seems like just last year she was having her Sweet Sixteen...

I was thinking about past cards and realized that most years, her cards are purple, and the past several years the theme has been something in the fairy tale realm (princesses, dragons, wizards, etc). 
Even though she has been telling me for weeks that soon she will be allowed to do magic outside of Hogwarts, this year there is nothing magical about her card.

Well, except for the fact that it is so cute

And it suits the current Lawnscaping Challenge (#124)

Christmas Critters, Sorta

I cannot resist buying cute critter stamps, and I have to hold myself back from overloading on Holiday images, so I was sure I had piles of Christmas Critters. Turns out, I don't. Lots and lots of wintery ones, but only one or two that are clearly Christmassy. One was too small, and the other too large. In true Goldilocks fashion, I chose a winter one that is just right. The size anyway; hopefully the hostess will like it for the holiday, too. 

Perhaps they are watching Santa load his sleigh...
