Yep, it is late at night...and my desk is somewhat clear...a few mouse stamps I want to use and some blown out light bulbs ---seems I need some light...you can see a big blown out bulb and a replacement OTT light that did not fit. Drats! Guess I will be in the dark a little longer! (don't say it....)
I also wanted to show off these two lovelies I was surprised with this week!
This card is from
Deloris Thiede at Stamping at the lake. Deloris was one of my first Silhouette mentors-along with
Cely Smith and
Cheryl First. They were such a help teaching me the ropes-and they still answer my questions. Such great techie cyber friends they are! Thanks for the wonderful surprise Deloris! Made my day!
My birthday is rolling around next week and my long time childhood and crafting buddy (close to 50 years we've been hanging out together)
Charla took me to dinner and made this card for me. Now, she knows my fave color is red and my fave paper is polka dot-so she made the perfect card!! Again, thanks for the wonderful evening and festive card Charla!
I missed the
fun over
at Julia's last week, life gets very hectic around this time of year and I get so busy. I have finally finished most of my house painting-I plan to never paint those bedrooms again-done deal!
I am popping over to
Julia's Stamping Ground and see what is going on this week! Can't be away too long....
Good morning, Sue! It's my birthday next week, too. Hope it's a good one for you. Those cards are fab - I love the bright red. Happy Wednesday. :o)

Super cards and hope you get your light sorted. I have found the easiest way to get the right bulb for things is to take the old one with me, otherwise I end up with a cupboard full of bulbs which don't fit anything I have!!!

Mouse stamps...I love HM stamps! Your cards are great...love the shoe one! We crafters can never seem to get enough light can we? Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, me again...yes, my ornaments are wooden & I painted them. I try to make a couple of different styles each Christmas to give as little gifts.
ReplyDeleteRenee
I love the red and I'd be thrilled with the polka dots, too. Happy birthday this week! I love seeing your Wednesday desk. I'm always intrigued by what will come from it next. It inspires me, too.

Ahhhhh...you are welcome AND I learned quite a bit from you and the huge enjoyment of House Mouse cards and peeks at your desk through out the year. Your blog and a cup of coffee has started my mornings off many a day.
ReplyDeleteHope my silly cod card made you smile.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words and nice compliment.
I love your projects too! They really inspire me and spark a lot of new ideas.
I'll have to remember your favorite color is red.
