Spring Bestie

I mentioned in an earlier post that we are getting tons of rain here in Northern California and it's still raining.  I love all the rain, not only because we really need it, but it somehow inspires me to be creative.  Maybe it's the feeling that I have to get as much crafting in as I can now, before the weather warms up and everyone wants to be outside.  Anyway, on to the important things... 

I decided to try something different today, I hope you like it.  I found this adorable image at Sherri Baldy Designs.  She has quite the collection of images, so be prepared to be amazed!!!  It's taken me close to an hour to get this post entered because I got sidetracked looking at all the new digi's ;)  Omgosh!!!!

Happy Birthday Monkey

Happy Sunday!!!  My Sunday morning started off with my 5 year old sweetie waking me up to tell me her tummy was hurting.  I have learned from experience that usually when she wakes me up with tummy problems, I know I'm in for it.  I prepared myself with a bucket, a towel, paper towels, and kleenex.  I won't go into the yucky details, but it wasn't pretty, but she is feeling much better.  Anyhow, I decided that since I was up nice and early, I may as well have some fun.  I put this card together for my nephew who will be turning 19 years old at the end of the month.  It's pretty unbelievable how fast they grow up.

This adorable image is called "Critter Balloons - Monkey" and it can be found at Bugaboo Stamps.  They have designed this image using several different animals i.e. mouse, elephant, dog, cat, bunny, and a bear.  And...most likely, I will end up needing them all ;)

Little Mermaid

Hey there...I have another card to share with you.  This cutie patootie image is called "Ava Mermaid" and you can find it at Bugaboo Stamps.  If you haven't noticed yet, Bugaboo digi's are by far some of my favorite stamps to color with copic markers.  And...what about this adorable paper from Doodlebug.  I knew as soon as I saw this paper, I had to have it!!!  My daughter will go crazy when I give her this card!!!!

Diaper Cake

Hello again!!!  My little sister's baby shower was on Saturday and while I loved being able to have the special event at my house, I am extremely happy that it is off my plate.  It went very well and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to meet and visit with some wonderful ladies.  For many years now, I have been making diaper cakes for all the baby showers I attend.  This is not the best picture, but I thought I'd share the diaper cake I made for my sister's shower.  They are so easy and fun to make and a great gift for the new mommy.  I went a little overboard on the "filling", but I think it 

turned out okay, even with my 5 year old helping me.

My crafting space is in our dining room and was a complete mess before the shower.  I like to get my stuff out and not put it away because I know that I will be using it later.  I shoved everything I could in the cabinets to hide it all from the guests.  Guess what I did on Saturday night after everyone left?  I cleaned and organized all my craft belongings.  I'm not saying it's perfect and I probably still won't be able to find what I'm looking for, but it does make me feel better when I open up the cabinet doors and everything looks like it belongs in that spot.  

Anyway...I guess I can say that the baby shower was a complete success!!!!

Now, I need to get back to coloring those adorable little bunnies!!!

For The Love Of Bunnies

For the love of Bunnies...I am in love with this image!!!

I have 3 holland lop bunnies that I raised from babies, so I am quite fond of bunnies.  They are so much fun to watch when they are hopping around, but mine are very tame & love to be cuddled too.

Please forgive me if I go on bunny overload ;)

This is another image from Bugaboo Stamps called "Bunny and Chick Topper".
