A Bunny


Yesterday was new student orientation day at UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham). They separated all the parents from our little ones and lectured us about empty nest syndrome, letting go, and how much of our money they would be needing. I wasn't feeling too sad previously, but after all that I was totally depressed! I am feeling like I need to be hugging a stuffed bunny right now. Isn't this image the most precious thing? It is one of my fav House Mouse/Happy Hopper/Gruffie images. I am placing this sweet little thing in the House-Mouse & Friends the challenge (HMFMC147) which is Anything Goes with a charm.

Hope your weekend has been wonderful. Hugz!

    and your card design is elegant and stunning. Love the bouquet too, such a pretty touch.

    I can see why you ended up feeling sad, but just looking at this card HAS to make you and everyone that sees it feel happy. This is my favorite Happy Hopper images also. I think it works for just about any occasion. You did an outstanding coloring job with it and those flowers were the perfect touch. Love the heart charm. You made me smile this morning with your card, thank you. So glad you could play along with HM&F challenge this week.

    Adorable card and great coloring. I could have used a big bunny hug when we dropped off our son for college.

    This is totally adorable, Nancy. I feel your pain but she won't be that far away and I bet she'll be missing Mom, too. What an adorable image and lovely flowers.

    This is just beautiful. I love all your layered die cuts and the black just makes everything stand out in contrast perfectly. Know what you mean about the empty nest syndrome!!! Did their childhood really go by that fast. It was so much fun while it lasted. I think I need to adopt!!! lol
    Bear Hugs,

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them.

Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around.

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
