Seven things about me (that you really don't need to know):


1) I need space.
2) My left eyelid droops a bit and is accentuated in photos, hence my reason for not liking to be photographed.
3) I was accepted at university after high school but didn't go because my (then) boyfriend didn't want me to. The boyfriend is long gone (he was abusive) and I don't regret not going. I might do it yet!
4) I am cool in a crisis. When it's over I fall to pieces.
5) I can doctor other people's gruesome injuries but faint if the blood is mine.
6) I alphabetize my spices and all the coats in the hall closet have to be facing the same way.
7) I have had stitches in my foot, knee, abdomen, wrist, gums, eyelid, face and back of the head.

Now ... anybody reading this is tagged. Do it!

Wheeeeeee!

Looky here at my new banner! Is it not the awesomeness? Designed and installed by 'la femme des fleurs' , who is also the awesomeness. Thank you, thank you, thank you - I will send my first child poste haste!

How many copyright infractions are involved in this marvelous new banner, I wonder. Hehehe. And do I care?

Ladybug

This was the weekly challenge on ink-stains. We were to follow a sketch, something I haven't done before but I think it could be a new addiction. The ladybug is a Magenta stamp, the leaf stamp is from Hero Arts and the PP is from my stash. Cardstock SU, ladybug colored with Prismacolor pencil and the embroidery floss is cheap stuff from Dollarama (I'm not going to use my DMC floss!).

Here's Looking at You!

I couldn't stand it another minute! All the new stuff I had bought or ordered just before the flood has been taunting me. It is all here in the den, in totes, and I have no place to play. Boo hoo. Well, DH is working today so I dragged all my stuff to the dining room table and played all day! This is one of the cards made with an old SU background stamp and the giraffe (an UM) from The Rubber Cottage. The paper, except for the mirror gold, and ink are SU also. I made five other cards but they are already in envelopes and waiting to be mailed. Oh, I'll post the ink-stains weekly challenge card in the next post. It was nice to be back at it.

Birthday Cards!
