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.

Kitten Kisses

I have a stamp that reads, "I kiss my dog on the lips", but I do not have the feline equivalent (I think my sister might; I am not sure). Last night I was doing something on the computer I did not want Princess A to see, so when she peeked over my shoulder I quickly closed the window. Open underneath was a Word doc for the making of my own "I kiss my cat on the lips" sentiment. It was printed about six times on the page. Princess A looked at me quizzically and asked why was I writing about kissing the cat over and over...

This card was born after perusing KJs blog where she had participated in a Mojo Monday sketch. Needing a serious dose of mojo, I headed over to the Challenge (Mojo Monday week 121) and was immediately inspired.

I am not sure this big cat appreciates all the affection. Or perhaps he is just overwhelmed. He is from Stamps by Judith. The sentiment, as already mentioned, is computer-generated, but inspired by a stamp from Paula Best. It is also raised up with foam dimensionals. At least three different SCS friends sent me the same package of bling. I cannot say for sure whose was used today. All other supplies were from SU.

For your viewing pleasure, here is Princess A and our two kittens, Iisis (looking straight at the camera with all dignity intact) and Osiris (the one who really does get kissed, rather frequently, on the lips)
