Thursday Things

Hey There,

Today for my Thursday Things I have to share this adorable card that I made for my upcoming wedding anniversary (Oct 21).  I know I'm really early, but since my hubby doesn't look at my blog, and it's just too cute, I had to share today!

I got the mouse stamp from my friend Karyn!

The hearts are from two different mini clear stamp sets.

The words "Falling for you" are from a fall scarecrow clear stamp set and just fit so perfectly here!!

I used Prima flowers and some sticky back gemstone embellishments.

The ribbon is from Big Lots - it was bulk in their craft section.

The card stock is all from my scrap basket and the green was run through my cuttlebug with the paisley embossing folder.

Have a great afternoon!

Today I have this card to share with you.  The background is swiss dots embossing folder for the cuttlebug.  I love the embossed liquid applique that makes the frosting look fluffy and almost good enough to eat!!  The ribbon was printed with Yummy and I thought it was just perfect with this card!

Hello Everyone!

Here it is, Thursday again, and I have a rather odd post for you to enjoy!

My DH is a bit weird - as is his family - loveable weird,  NOT creepy weird.

Here is an example of their brand of weird.

I was invited to Christmas Eve dinner with them. 

Remember that this was my first Christmas Eve Ever with them and my DH and we had only been dating for a month at this point.  

After dinner and presents, his mom breaks out the flarp!  If you don't know what Flarp is, it's a putty/goo-like substance in a plastic jar, that when you press your fingers in it, will cause a farting sound!

Now I am totally cool with potty humor, I have a brother, so I (along with everyone at the house) was laughing hysterically after the first 10 minutes, but that was my first Christmas Eve with them and I wasn't even part of the family at that point!

So my DH's Aunt and her Fiancee just bought a house together.  Naturally we want to give them a special, unique housewarming gift.

We came across this night-light lamp at a little boutique in one of those quaint towns lined with shops, boutiques and antique stores and we knew instantly that it was going to be the perfect gift for them!

Here it is lit, with the other lights in the room on:

We call it the "hideous chicken". 

(Yes, we know it's a rooster, but Chicken sounds funnier.)

It's sitting on my living room book shelf and it's actually growing on me - which is scary in itself. I need to box it up before I can't bear to part with it!!! HAHAHA!

But what is even more scary, is that when you turn all the lights off, it transforms into:

 "The Evil Hideous Chicken!!!"

See the satan-red glowing eyes and the evil red aura it casts?

It will probably end up in the guest room where we will be staying, leering at us whenever we visit!

Well, here is my first "things" post.

I have been a little obsessed with the VW Beetle since Memorial Day Weekend.

My husband brought home the prettiest little yellow one for a long weekend test drive, and due to a little indecision we missed out on getting it by 5 minutes.  Well, ever since then I have been lamenting the loss of Daisy (it's tradition among VW owners to name their bug), and he promised me that when the new TDI Diesel models come out, I could get one!  WOO HOO!!!

I am a bit eccentric, for those of you who don't know me, and I have decided that I want a pink beetle.  Not pink like the Mary Kay cards, but hot bright bubble gum pink!

I have ordered a few stamp sets with VW Beetles in them lately and here is the first one that I have had a chance to ink up and color in.

You will see a few more as I get them in!
