sharing this darling Notturno Digital Arts image for my DH this week, as it's his birthday on Saturday. I thought this image was just TOO cute. It would be perfect for valentines or any other love occasion like today. I added a sticker sentiment, "Crazy in love" for it along with some gorgeous Turkish lace.
OK, so back to learning to count in Turkish, we were doing numbers, one-bir; two- iki, three - uc (uch) and today is four- dort......ten - on; thanks for learning along with me, lol
Sharing this love bug card for the DH today on the week of his BDAY. I hope he likes it. He'll say something like, oh, that's your favorite color. Well, yep, sure it. I do love the yellow. Hope he love this cute card from Unity Stamps.
So we are all learning to count in Turkish now....bir, iki, .....on; today's number is three- uc, but it's special symbol that i don't know how to make on a english keyboard. I think it's english equivalent would be ch, so it's pronunciation would be ooch
Sharing this super cute stamp for the DH as his birthday is approach soon. I love him dearly and hope his day is special. I ask him what he wants, he says, "a donation to the capitol area food bank." yep. that's what he wants every year. He's so sweet.
OK, so back to learning Turkish number, one is Bir; two is iki; ten is ON; If I keep making myself say them everyday all month long, perhaps I will be OK when I get to Turkey. Mostly at the market because you are holding up some type of product and the response is always a Turkish number. So it makes sense to learn numbers quickly. The term to get a price is ne kadar? (how much is it?)
Here's another Fat and Fluffy card for you. Sorry you can't see the card's edges, but the card was quite white which blended into the background. I did one card like this using a cat a couple months ago, it was a bit hit. I thought I would use this cute guy from a Cat's Pajama's Rubber Stamp set.
Here's a wonderful stamp from Hetty Clare, I just love kitties. This one was super cute and on sale in her Etsy store. I couldn't resist. I thought it was just perfect with some matching rose lace to go with it. Don't you think?
I can't believe we are at the end of the first week of May, just 18 days of school left now.
"You can do it--Coffee" This cute image comes from Chick Chickadee Crafts on Etsy, SugarTree stamps. She has the cutest stamps. Including a wonderful coffee set that I love. It comes with a bunch of cute cups and sentiments, it's a bargain at only $2. Be sure and check it out.
OK, back to yesterday, learning numbers in turkish, so if i was buying something for $2 in turkish, that would be iki. On--ten, iki - two; Are we learning? You think I would learn faster, but no, since brain surgery, I can't just get a huge list and learn them quickly.
Sharing this adorable cat card today from Le Petite Market. What a fun image! I added a sweet sentiment, "A Cat's Life" and some gorgeous Turkish Lace to go with it. I really must learn some turkish on my next trip. I know only very basic things. I need to learn things like numbers (so I know what they are telling me in the market), directions,....wish my Turkish friends here had time to teach me.
OK, will start with numbers, let's all learn together, a few numbers I already know, like 10, because it sounds like one in english, "On" means 10 in turkish. When I am walking through a market, i hear "ON" very often meaning 10 lira. (that's about $1.35)
Here's a cute stamp from a coffee set that I got for Christmas from the DH. I love this cute kit. I made a whole bunch of fun cards from it. I added some tiny little buttons and of course, some great turkish lace to go with it. Fun. I hope you are having a great start to the month of May.
Cheers all, Holley
I just love this funny stamp from Unity stamps. I am not really a cat lady (in person) but perhaps in heart. She is just TOO cute. I think in person though this might be a bit overwhelming. Makes me want to go to a cat cafe though so I can pet a cat or two. One thing about Istanbul is there is a lot of very tame cats all over the place that you can (and people do) take care of and nuture. They are city cats and have been tagged by the city (there's also dogs....same) that just live on the streets but they are tagged and have been given shots and taken care off and the locals just care for them.
One story about that. I was enjoying a morning, sitting across from the Blue Mosque. Some stranger approached me, unusual (unless he was a salesman, either a tour guide or a carpet salesman), he came an sat right next to me. Weird. Esp in that culture. There's not one other person around but me and that man. At any rate, he's talking a LOT. at some point one of the very large city dogs walks right up and sits right in between us! Yep. Time for me to immediately excuse myself and take off. I petted the dog for a moment and he (the dog) and I left.

I also had to make a hot card for the hubby for our anniversary this year. This image is from Gary Rudisill. I hope we do something simple and sweet. I like staying home together and ordering in, watching a movie, sitting down and chatting. We are happy that way.
Hope you all have a wonderful day as well.

As my anniversary approaches, I wanted to share this card for my DH. I hope he likes it. "You make life brighter" Oh how true that is. He's the best. well, the best for me.

Here's a hilarious stamp from katzelkraft with a sentiment from Tim Holtz. TOO fun. I adore this artist's images and these snarky cats. The sentiment, "Don't judge me" is just perfect for this fun stamp TOO cute. I hope you love this funny card today.
Thought I would share one more OWL theme card this month from Unity stamps for my DH in honor of our anniversary. I hope he love this one. "You are the Best." Yep, he's the best. Good thing he's not really conceited.

Here's a great stamp from The Cat's Pajamas. I love their dog theme stamps and wonderful sayings that go with them. "This home is filled with Kisses wagging tails wet noses and LOVE" How cute is that? I added a couple of glittery paw prints to go with it.
Hope you are having a great April.
