Here's a wonderful card from Kathy Dippner.  It's a boggle card where the kitty moves back and forth due to a plastic spring on the back.  Super cute.  I just love this adorable stamp.  Thank you for sending me a Christmas card using one of your prizes this year.

Treat yo-self

 Well as February comes, treat yo-self to a little fun and a little set of prizes by following along on my blog and answering the daily questions (as that lets me know what you like and what you want to receive) and everyone can get a special treat at the end of Feb/beginning of March.  I am looking forward to celebrating another wonderful year without seizures.

Cute Mouse

Here's the cutest little mouse from Whipper Snapper. I just love their fun animal stamps.  So adorable. I added some great Turkish lace in pink on the side to go with the pink flower on the card.  Don't you love it?  Can you believe we are almost at the end of January?  that means just a little over 4 months until Turkiye!!  woo hoo.  as much as I hate to have to close the Etsy shop while gone, that is what will be done.  You know, going to have to stock up this summer.

Have some tea with me, BLOG CANDY

Here's a sweet Unity stamp card. I love their quality rubber stamps.  Everyone get ready for February, grab a cup of tea (coffee, hot cocoa) and get ready to be checking the blog each day for some fun!  Different prizes every day and different questions every day so I know what goodies everyone wants.  Don't be shy to ask.  If you see something you like, feel free to make a request.  Occasionally i get a double request for something, but often only one person requests something, I'm usually happy to oblige.  I want everyone to love their goodies.  General requests for things like:  christmas, Lawn Fawn, cats, dogs, animals, word stamps are always great or if you see something special you like that one Giraffe stamp you have to have or that one huge background stamp that you love, Let me know!

Turkish Lace

Here's a card I made using a piece of gorgeous Turkish lace.  I got this piece of lace when I was in Antalya.  I was in a taxicab coming from the aquarium, I don't speak much Turkish which can make cab travel hard, so usually I know a couple of monuments locations near my hotel which cabbies will know in English and Turkish.  (Or I learn the Turkish name for them).  At any rate the cab driver told me to get out and I was nowhere near when i wanted to be!  However, less than a block away was a LACE store.  Man, did I have fun there.  As soon and I learned they would take an American credit card, lol.

Beautiful Friends, Celebration time is coming

 I love these kits from Simple Stories. I got this one last year along with their valentine theme one as well. They are great when you are traveling and don't want to have to pack everything in your stash (but you still want to craft) or when you want to craft but don't have the mojo to do your own cards and you need something to get you started.  Anyway, Beautiful Friends, have a great day!!  We're just a week away from Celebration time!!

Caffeine Junkie, MORE BLOG CANDY

Here's an awesome set of images from Limited Runs. I thought we could all use a coffee theme card today.  Next month during the celebration I have quite a few coffee theme cards that I will be sharing. It's been my favorite topic for a while, i'm sure you guys have noticed that.  Maybe we should have a coffee theme contest next month? what do you think?  Hmmm, let me think about it.

All Things

"All things are possible if you Believe." So says this card with the gorgeous owl.  I just love Unity stamps esp the animals from this artist. Isn't this owl just TOO cute?  I hope you will have a little renewed faith today in a recent wish that you have.  May it be granted.  Amen.

Peaceful card

Here's a lovely cat theme card using a stamp by Momenta.  I made a mono-tone theme card using all greens with a green background and green embellishments to go with the cats.  Makes me feel peaceful for some reason.  I got horrible news recently from my hostess in Istanbul that her dear cat passed away.  I feel so badly for her.  Please send positive vibes her way.

Drink Coffee

Here's a great Tim Holtz image with a unity stamp sentiment and some lovely Turkish lace to go with it.  We are just in our first full week back at school, so we all need some coffee, lol.  I haven't actually counted the days to vacation yet, I am trying not to look at the number yet, it's too big, and I don't have my plane ticket yet, so I don't want to count specifically, but man, can we just skip ahead?
