Cold Hands Warm Heart and a Baby Shower!

Happy Sunday everyone!

I hope you are having a great weekend and had a good Valentine's Day! Izzy, Jason and I went out to dinner last night and then just had a quiet evening at home. We caught up on our favorite TV show The Office. It is one of the few shows both Jason and I love. He tends to like sports and I love home improvement shows. I really think he would like the home improvement ones if I didn't get so many ideas for our house and then con him into doing them here! LOL! Anywhoo, it was just nice and relaxing! Today, I think I am heading to Michael's later to use my coupon and then do a little stamping. Pretty laid back day today too! Poor Jason is cleaning out the garage though. Don't envy him at all! LOL!

So I have a couple of projects to share today! One is for a new sketch blog, my friend Cassie told me about. I can't imagine why she would think I like sketches. I mean I hardly ever do them! (Heavy, heavy sarcasm inserted here) LOL! And the other is something my friend Tracy and I created for a friend's baby shower.

So my first card I created is a masculine themed winter card. I hardly ever make masculine cards and I really wanted to make one. Well when I saw this sketch at Inspirational Card Sketches I knew that I had the perfect layout!



Okay, so this is one of those cards where the idea in my head was completely and totally awesome, but didn't quite come out that way. I don't know what it is, but if anyone has any ideas please let me know! Oh well. I started this card by stamping the mitten from January Journaling Spot 2 by 2redbananas on DP and brown and green card stock and then cut it out. Next I stamped Edwin Skating by Magnolia on white card stock and colored him using my copics. I then popped him off the background. Following the sketch, I layered on brown and green card stock along with some DP from SEI. The border was created with a Martha Stewart punch. I then added some snowflake buttons, brown twine, a ghost snowflake and a big green button. To finish the card off, I stamped the sentiment for the Journaling spot and mounted it on some DP. I just really wished it had turned out as cool as I thought it was going to, oh well. Better luck next time!

My next project I want to share is gift tags my friend Tracy and I made for a friend's baby shower. We went online to find out what kind of bedding she registered for and that is where we got the color scheme. We then searched for sentiments on the Internet and went through my stamps to pick the perfect image. And here they are!

All of them together

We actually made fifty of these! It was fun though because we chatted the whole time we made them. We started the tags off by cutting some pinkish red, metallic card stock and some taupe card stock from Bazzill. We then printed off the sentiment using Microsoft Word and stamped the little sheep and heart from Baby First by My Favorite things. We colored them in using copics and a white gel pen. We then attached the paper to some premade tags we found at Archivers in the hot spot. Quick and easy! The perfect shower tag!

Well, you didn't think that you were going to be able to escape today without an Izzy picture and story did you? Don't worry it is a quick one, I promise! So sometimes while Izzy is awake I chat on the phone with friends, my parents or my husband. Well when Mommy is talking she usually wants me to read her a story or play with her in her kitchen. Most of the time she only plays with her numerous phones when I am off the phone. Well the other day, I was hanging up the phone after talking to my mom when I look over and see her chatting on her pink cell phone! So I quickly grab the camera to take a picture. Seriously though, I was laughing so hard, I almost didn't get it!!! She was "talking" to Daddy! I kept hearing her say, "Daddy. Bye, bye fishes. Bye, bye, moose. Daddy work. Tuxy, Tuxy! Shoes, tights, socks. Shoes, Daddy." Not quite sure what "Daddy" was saying but it must have been one really random conversation based on her end of it! LOL! And here is a picture of my baby talking on the phone!


That is it for me today! I have to pretend to look busy so I don't get roped into cleaning out the garage! LOL! Thanks as always for stopping by! And lots of smiles!

I Love to Twinkle and Glide on the Ice!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

Izzy and I had the best day yesterday! Melaina was over and the girls played and played! It was so cute! Poor Izzy wasn't feeling well though, so she was having a few problems sharing, but as the day progressed they became more and more used to each other. I think Melaina might come over every week! YAY!!!! I am so excited. It is funny, but I am actually able to get more done during the day because the girls keep each other entertained. It was so cute. I had them up on the table while I was coloring yesterday and they took turns handing me markers. Izzy already knows she cannot take the caps off and Melaina learned pretty quickly too so, it was really enjoyable. We talked about colors and did a lot of poking tummys with them. They loved it! I am so excited because I think I might have future stampers on my hands! LOL!

Well since it is Tuesday, that means it is Twinkling Tuesday! Even my husband knows. He sent me an e-mail last week asking me what I wanted him to make for dinner and he titled it "Twinkling Tuesday". Ahh, he is trained so well! LOL! Well, this Tuesday is a little bit different this week. Madelynn has decided to have guest sketch designers to help out with her challenges, and this week the "Temporary Twinklette" as we are calling them is none other than my good friend Heather's 6 year old daughter Piper!!! She really made up a fun sketch for us this week! Lots of elements and lots of hearts just in time for Valentine's day.

Isn't it fun! I have to say, I was a little worried at first but I made it and I was able to get all the elements in! I started this card by stamping Tilda With Hearts by Magnolia Stamps on white card stock and colored her in using my copics. I then added touches of white gel pen to create highlights on the different hearts. Following the sketch, I layered on brown and pink card stock, some of which I embossed with my swiss dots folder and my floral fantasy folder, and papers from Basic Grey's Bittersweet collection. I then wrapped a brown and pink striped ribbon around the middle and added lots of brown and pink hearts I cut out with my Cricut and a Martha Stewart punch. Tilda and the tiny hearts I popped off to finish the card. I think I might send this to Piper since she created such an awesome sketch! Don't worry though Heather, I promise to add a nose and a mouth! LOL!

Hey, don't worry, you can play along with Piper's sketch too! All you need to do is when uploading to PCP or SCS is attach the keyword MTTSC9 and also leave a little love out on the Twinkling Tuesday Team blog so that we know that you used Piper's sketch. Now, check out the rest of the design team's awesome creations!

I have another quick little card to share before you leave. I just received my new Sophia stamp from Paper Pretties. This little beauty is January's Stamp of the Month. I so love this program. It is relatively inexpensive and every month I am guaranteed an awesome stamp in the mail! Love it! So, I digress. I wanted to create a winter card, since it was so chilly last week and when I saw this card by my good friend Jessica, I just had to case it!

I just had to use this paper again! I love the pinks and greens and blues! Sorry the picture is a little wonky, the sky was turning weird shades when I hurried outside to take this picture, it was about to storm. Anywhoo, I really wanted to try the distressing technique that Jessica uses, and I think I did okay. Of course I have a long way to go before I reach Jessica's level of talent! I started this card by stamping Gliding By by Paper Pretties on white card stock and colored her in using my copics. I added some snow drifts with my copic multiliner pen and my copics and then made it shimmer along with her ice trail using my glitter pen. I also flocked her ear muffs and her little hand muff using some white flocking and a glue pen. Next, I stamped the sentiment on white card stock and cut it out along with a piece of blue paper using my nesties. I then layered on blue and green card stock along with two different kinds of DP (sorry can't remember the brand). I distressed everything with a sponge and some creamy caramel ink. To complete the look, I added three green brads down the side and tied a delish green satin ribbon through my sentiment and added some rhinestones! I really think this worked out pretty well as a casing of Jess' card. I hope she thinks so too!

Well that is it for me! Off to check out the rest of the Twinkling Team! I really hope you play along! And don't forget my Pink Cat Challenge ends today over at PCP so make sure you get your entry in! Thanks as always for stopping by! Smiles!!

A Little Bit of Winter and Some Muffins to Warm You Up!

Happy, Happy Friday everyone!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend planned. We should be having a nice one. I get to go to the stamping store again tomorrow and have lunch with Jason. He has to go into work tomorrow for about an hour so we are going to meet him and have lunch once he's done. We haven't done that in forever so I am really looking forward to it. Speaking of Jason's work, he just received an offer for a new job and he is going to accept it!!! I am so excited for him. He really likes the place he works at now, but in the computer field you always have to stay on top of your game so every once in awhile he looks for a new opportunity somewhere. I am really proud of him. He is so smart and talented. The best part for Izzy and I is that he will be a little closer to home! That means more Daddy time at night!

I have to say, I am so proud of Izzy too!! Yesterday when we went to the stamp store, she wanted to walk with me. I have taught her not to touch things, but you know how it is when there are cool things sitting out everywhere. Well, I am proud to say, she did not touch anything!!! She simply followed me around, holding the little basket with my stuff in it, pretending it was a purse. I really lucked out with her! She is such a good girl.

Well, I have some older projects to share today. I made these a couple of weeks ago and forgot that I had them until last night, so I decided to share them instead of the projects I created yesterday. My first card is a card I created following one of Jen Del Muro's Sketch For You To Try's. I just loved how she used the circles in her sketch and wanted to give it a try!

I am loving my Cricut machine again. I went through a stage where I hardly ever used it and now I am back into using it almost every day!!! I don't know what my deal is. So, I started this card by coloring in Cross Stitch Tilda by Magnolia with my markers and copics. This was another image I received from my wonderful friend Kimmie. I then mounted her on maroon and blue card stock. Following the sketch, I layered on maroon and blue card stock along with some winter DP. I cut out circles with snowflakes in the middle using my Cricut machine and mounted them in the corner. To finish the card off, I added three brads down the side. I love this color combo for winter, it is cool and warm at the same time!

My second project for today is a fun and quick tag I made for my neighbor. She was making Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins for Christmas and wanted little tags to put on the packages. (Don't worry, I am still trying to get her to give me the recipe!). Well, I was kind of Christmas colored out, and you know about my orange kick, so I decided to use more of a pumpkin, chocolate theme.

Don't you love Riley and Sophie?!!! They are both so cute!!! I know I need more of them, but explaining that you need more, rubber moose to your husband is a difficult task. So I started this tag out by stamping Baking Riley by Hanna Stamps on white card stock and colored him in using my copics and markers. I then layered on brown and orange card stock along with some Basic Grey DP. I used my nesties to cut out the scalloped rectangles and the computer to type my sentiment. This tag was so quick and easy to make, once I get the recipe I think I am going to give the muffins and tags away as gifts!

I am off to check out some more blogs and get caught up. Don't forget about the Pink Cat Studio Contest that is running until the 13th at 9pm EST. A Pink Cat stamp set is up for grabs! Have a great day and thanks as always for stopping by!

Are You Ready For Some Football and a Little Bit of Pink Christmas!!

Happy Saturday everyone!!

I hope your Saturday has been a good one. It was actually quite pleasant here today, but since about 5 o'clock this evening the temperature has been dropping and the wind has really picked up. I am sad to say that tomorrow sounds like it is pretty much going to be a miserable day. Super cold and really windy. I am so glad we aren't leaving till Monday. Tomorrow would be a terrible day to travel.

Well, I am almost caught up on all my challenges for the week. Just one more to do and I will be up to date. Of course, I won't be posting them on time, but at least I can say that they were completed on time!

Since it has been so chilly at night, Izzy has been taking two baths, once with me and then once by herself. Well two nights in a row now, she has decided that Tuxy should be included in our bathtime fun. (As a side note, Tuxy is completely terrified of the water. I am talking hates it with a passion.) Izzy sits in the bath the whole time and says, "Tuxy. Bath. Please." Poor Tuxy, he now stands as far away from the bathtub as he can get. It is like he knows. I think that he figures at some point she is going to get strong enough to actually pick him up and put him in the bath. He knows he will be in trouble then!!! Lol!!

My first card for today is actually for my husband and was created using this week's Watchadoin' Wednesday Challenge over SUInk and More. This week's challenge was to create a card that could hold a gift. Well, my husband loves football. He watches it every weekend and well, pretty much anytime I don't have the remote. I on the other hand do not like football, I don't want to say hate, because I do occasionally watch it for him. I do however hate going to any sporting event. So for this Christmas, I have decided to give him a coupon for him and I to attend a sporting event of his choice. This is a pretty big deal, because I am such a fair weather fan. And I mean that literally, I only want to go to the game if the weather is perfect. I am talking upper 70's, low 80's, slight breeze, no rain, not too sunny though, because I don't want to get burnt either. Because of these guidelines, I almost never go. So see, I do love him so!!

Isn't it cute!!! I started this card by stamping the boy, helmet and football from First and Goal by SUInk and More on white card stock and colored them in using my copics and markers. I then cut out the helmet and football and popped them off my image. I mounted my image on a piece of blue card stock that I punched with my Martha Stewart edge punch and then placed it on a piece of red card stock. For the background I layered, red and blue card stock along with two different kinds of DP. I ran the blue card stock through my houndstooth cuttlebug embossing folder to give it some texture. I added a stitched ribbon to the corner and stamped the sentiment on a piece of white card stock and cut it into the shape of a banner, again using my Martha Stewart punch. For the inside of the card, I attached some more DP and added a blue band across the bottom to hold my coupon. I stamped the tickets three times, cut them out and adhered them around the bottom. I completed the card by stamping the sentiment, "Merry Christmas", from Sugar Nellie. I just know that he is going to love it. However, now I am thinking about adding in my fair weather clause! Lol!

My second card for today is all about having a pink Christmas. I love the color combo of pink and brown together, and really wanted to create a Christmas card with that color combination and since I was running behind on this week's Magnolia Vs. Stampavie Challenge, I decided to use my favorite color combo for the challenge.

This sketch was actually really difficult for me. Probably the reason it took me so long to participate. I don't have any Stampavie or Magnolia stamps that are small enough to fit in the squares and I wasn't too keen about breaking an image up, so I decided to switch the images and the text. It worked out perfectly. I started this card by coloring in Tilda in Dalecarlia Coat by Magnolia with my copics and markers. I actually just received this wonderful image from my friend Kimmie. Thank you so much!!! Following the sketch, I layered on brown and pink card stock along with two kinds of DP. I printed off the sentiments on my computer and mounted them on brown card stock. I added a brown gross grain ribbon and three white flowers with brads in the center. Like I said this was a difficult challenge and I am just so glad that I was able to come up with something.

Well, I am outta here for tonight. Hubby and I are going to sit and relax together on the couch as today was his first day of vacation!! Have a wonderful evening and thanks for stopping by!

Christmas is near! Christmas is near!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Today has been even worse than yesterday weather wise. It has basically lightly snowed all day, enough to make getting anywhere in your car difficult and the second big wave is hitting right now, during rush hour!! Ugh! That means Jason won't be home for quite awhile!

Well, I have some exciting news!!! I have a new baby cousin! I am so excited. Jason's cousin Heather gave birth to a healthy baby boy last night. It is so wonderful and exciting!! Heather has always wanted children and after years of trying, finally adopted a beautiful little girl named Libby from China!!! She is so wonderful and sweet and then this spring she found out she was pregnant!! It is truly a miracle for her family! I know too that Libby is super excited to have a little brother!! Can you tell I am happy?!

Alright, so I forgot to tell this story about Izzy last night. It is pretty funny although Jason was upset when he heard about it. It all started yesterday afternoon when I was cleaning up my scrapbooking stuff off the dining room table. Izzy had asked me to put her on the couch, presumably to sit next to Tuxy. The last time I looked in on them, Tuxy was at one end in a ball and Izzy was sitting right next to him holding her bee. Well, all the sudden I heard a little growl, then another little growl, that is usually what Tuxy does when Izzy touches him. He keeps it up typically until he gets tired of her and then jumps down. Since he just kept doing it, I yelled in from the dining room for him to just jump down if he didn't like it. Well, he kept on and I finally peeked in to see what was the matter. Guess what?!!! Izzy was sitting on him!! I don't think that Tuxy was hurt, just irritated since he wasn't really trying to get up! So I got onto Izzy how we don't sit on our "brother", she of course looked properly chastised. I think Tuxy though was more upset that I got onto Izzy about it, than the actual sitting incident itself! He kept following her around everywhere after that with a sad little look on his face! Lol!

Well, today has been kind of a mixed bag for me. I had some cards that turned out really well and one for an upcoming DT release that I just couldn't seem to make come out right. I think I need to sleep on it and try to pick some different DP. I really think that is the major problem! Gosh, I hate when that happens!

Well my first card for today is, da, da, da, dum!!! A Christmas Card!!! And actually both of my cards today use last week's sketches from 2 Sketches 4 You. This was my first time participating in this sketch challenge. I just had to make these designs after I saw them!! They were so original! So here goes the card for the first sketch.

See, I told you it was awesome!! I really channelled my friend Michelle, aka "Queen of the Scene", over at Just Painting Around. I love how she continues her scenes onto all her layers!! It is really cool! Anywhoo, I started this card by stamping Tilda with Hood by Magnolia on white card stock and colored her in with markers and copics. I added touches of silver gel pen and my glitter pen to really make her pop. I then sponged night of navy around the edges to continue the scene. Following the sketch, I layered white card stock, kraft paper and Christmas DP. I added a piece of wide, white ribbon and three white snowflakes. I think it kind of has a primitive look, I guess it is the kraft paper! Anyways, I am really happy with the way this came out.

My second card today, follows the second sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You. This one I decided to use an entirely different theme. Something that was more whimsical and fun!!

Isn't it a happy, jolly kind of card!! I just love pink and green for Christmas! Alrighty, so I started this card by stamping the elf and stars from CC Designs Sugarplums North Pole by All that Scraps on white card stock and colored him in with copics and markers. Following the sketch, I layered on pink and green card stock along with several different kinds of Christmas DP. The scallop on the bottom was created with a decorative pair of scissors. I cut out a white and green circle with my nesties and stamped the sentiment in the center. I finished the card off by adding three pink rhinestone stickers down each side of the main image!! I think I might give this to one of my nieces. Last I heard they were fighting over a pink card I had given them!!

Well, I am outta here for tonight. Don't forget that the MFT Blog Hop starts tonight at midnight (EST) over at the MFT blog! So put on your bunny slippers, curl up with your computer and hop around with us!! Have a great evening!! Thanks for stopping by!

Is Anybody As Freaked Out as Me That Christmas is Right Around the Corner?!!!

Happy Saturday everyone!!

Boy have we had a busy one! I did a whole lot of stamping this morning, this afternoon we braved the toy store to buy Christmas presents, and this evening we had a wonderful dinner over at "Aunt" Tracy's new apartment! Man was that fun! Izzy has been really missing her. I can't even count how many times she said Tracy's name on the car ride over. Needless to say, it was a lot.

Well, I can't panic too much that Christmas is so close. I have actually been doing really well with my shopping. I just need to buy books for all the kids, stocking stuffers for Izzy, a few small items for Jason and Tracy's gift. See not too bad. The only thing is we are leaving for Kansas City next Saturday, so that means I need to get it all completed this week. Izzy is definitely going to be going on lots of field trips to the mall!

I don't know what I will do when Izzy gets old enough to actually know that we are buying presents for her. Right now it is so nice to all go out together and pick something out. I guess next year we will have to figure out some way to buy the presents in secret and get them to grandma and grandpa's without her knowing. I think the mailman might have to be my secret helper.

I had a lot of fun today making my cards. There are some days when you feel like all the coloring that you have done and the papers you have chosen work really well together and today was that day. Sometimes, I pick papers and start coloring and for some reason they just don't work, but today everything seemed to come out just like I pictured it.

For my first card, I used my brand new Magnolia stamp, only the second one I have ever colored, to make a nice traditional Christmas card. I love my new Basic Grey Wassail paper. I don't know why I held out for so long to buy it. Anywhoo, I used the fabulous sketch over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge for the layout.

Isn't she lovely!! I just love these stamps!! I don't know why I don't own more of them. (Hint, hint honey!). Okay, so I started this card by stamping Tilda with Christmas Presents by Magnolia on white card stock and colored her in with my markers and copics. Using my gold glitter pen, I added some embellishments to the present and to the four corners. Following the sketch, I layered on red and green card stock, along with several different kinds of Christmas DP. I used my Martha Stewart edge punch to create the triangle border and added three brads down the side. I finished the card off by stamping the sentiment from Deer Ol Santa by SUInk and More on white card stock, cutting it out along with a piece of green card stock using my nesties, added some gold details and popped it off the card. I just love the combo of colors, they seem to scream Christmas!!

My second card for today is a funky take on Christmas. I was out collecting all of the challenges I wanted to participate in this weekend when I came across Jen Del Muro's Sketch For You To Try. I just loved the simplicity of the sketch this week and wanted to use a simple, not too complicated image for the card. Here it is!

Don't you just love this sketch!! It is so simple yet concise!! It was a lot of fun to work with! Okay, so I started this card by stamping the three potted Christmas trees from Santa's Little Helpers by SUInk and More on white card stock and colored them in with my markers and copics. I then mounted them on some pink glitter paper and popped them off the background. Following the sketch, I layered on green card stock and three different kinds of glittered Christmas card stock. I added some pink and green stitched ribbon for the final touch. Don't you just love it?! And the best part is, it was so quick to make! I honestly think it took me only 10 minutes to stamp, color and assemble after I had the papers chosen. The most difficult part was cutting the double angle in the ribbon! LOL!! Thanks Jen for your wonderful sketch!

For my final card I decided to not only follow a challenge but to also challenge myself while I was at it. I know I have talked in the past about how difficult it is for me to use white in cards, but the only other color that truly gives me fits is yellow. I love when other people use yellow in their cards, but for some reason, I usually hate it when I do. (That is why you rarely see any of my people with blonde hair!) Following today's Sketch Saturday Challenge for the layout, I decided to use some yellow!

I am so proud of this card!! I used tons of yellow in it and even made the little girl a blonde!!! Go me! So I started this card by stamping Cuddling by Rachelle Anne Miller for Stampavie on white card stock and colored them in with my markers and copics. Following the sketch, I used multiple layers of SU! DP and yellow card stock. For the scallops, I used my Fiskars, threaded scallops punch and for the flowers, I used my cricut machine. I added three blue brads to the centers of my flowers to complete the look. When I showed this card to my husband, he said he really like it because it looked so different from what I usually create!! I was so proud.

Well that is it for me tonight!! I hope you all have had a wonderful Saturday and have a great rest of the weekend! Thanks as always for stopping by!

My First Magnolia and Another Digi Image!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

I hope you are having a good day! Today has been really gloomy and icky. The temperature has dropped all day and it has rained non-stop. I was hoping that Izzy would be able to get out and play, but it was a no go. I heard tomorrow is supposed to be pretty cold so I don't think we will be going out tomorrow either.

Izzy has been a busy little bee today. She has helped me all day with laundry. She loves to separate the clothes and pull them out of the dryer. She even retrieves hangers for me. She really is a good helper. The older she gets the more she actually helps instead of making things worse. Lol!!!

Her and Tuxy have been quite a pair today! Earlier she was chasing him around with her mouth wide open so that Tuxy could lick her. It was so gross, but the two of them loved, loved, loved it. The only way I could get her to stop was to bribe her with some grapes!!

Here is a picture of her with a little bit of milk on her chin!

Well I only have two projects to post today. I actually completed more, but the very idea of going outside to take pictures was too overwhelming. It is just too nasty out. So you only get two today!

My first project is actually a gift tag I created with my very first Magnolia stamp!!!! Yeah! I have been seeing all the completely awesome creations that everybody makes with them and have been adding them to my wish list. Well I finally broke down and bought some! This tag was created for this week's Magnolia Vs. Stampavie challenge (I was finally able to use something beside a Rachelle Anne Miller stamp for the challenge! Go me!!)

Don't you love this image!!! Okay so I started this tag by cutting out a piece of green card stock and two pieces of Christmas DP in the shape of a Christmas ornament using my Cricut machine. I created the scallop on the lighter DP using my nesties. I then stamped Decorate Christmas Tree by Magnolia stamps onto white card stock and colored her in with my markers, copics and pencils. I added touches of gold with my gold glitter pen, cut her out and popped her off the tag with some dimensionals. I then printed the sentiment off on my computer and cut it out along with a piece of green card stock with my nesties and popped it off the background. To finish the tag off I attached a piece of white organdy ribbon to the top. I am so pleased with the way this turned out!! Of course I will have to put it on one gigantic gift but that is okay!! Or I can put it on a small gift and it will completely cover it so I don't have to wrap it!!

My second project for today uses the new digi images I discovered over at Lauren Meader's blog!! I love my digis and am always looking for places to buy them. Anywhoo, this is a card I made with one of the new images from Squigglefly. I used the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge at Poetic Artistry for the layout.

I love that you can resize your image to anything you want! Okay so I started this card by printing off Pigtail Cutie by Squigglefly on white card stock and coloring her in with my markers and copics. I went ahead and drew in a pattern on her dress so that it would match the DP. I then layered her on some DP and some brown card stock. Following the sketch, I layered on several sheets of DP and some brown card stock. I used by Martha Stewart edge punch to create the decorative pattern and finished it off with three orange brads in the corner. I just love this cute little girl!! She has such a sweet face!!

Thank you to everyone who stops by! I have been remiss lately in checking up on all my favorite blogs, but I am going to try to get around to it tonight!! Have a nice evening everyone!
