Sneak Peek Day Three-Take a Pill!



So, how has your weekend been? Mine's been pretty uneventful...........kind of wet and rainy here, so apart from a quick trip to Costco, I've been lazing about in my jammies and stamping! Watching the dishes pile up and dodging the dust bunnies! OUCH, I think one just bit me. So, after I get this post completed, I'm going to clean!

It figures that I have to clean when the sky has just opened up to a brilliant blue this morning. I suppose I could leave things for another day, but tomorrow's monday and I really SHOULD clean.................no, I WILL CLEAN.........they say that affirmations make things happen........wish the darned affirmations could run the vacuum cleaner!

I will reward myself greatly with a trip to see Willie Nelson and Billy Bob Thorton play at the KROCK centre tonight! Haven't been to a concert in our new facility and I am pretty excited to see Willie, believe it or not! He is an amazing song writer and has a very interesting voice to say the least.........a country Icon and well Billy Bob Thorton has that sizzlin' bad boy thing going on . I love him in movies and I hear he is quite the musician!

Introducing Dr. Happy...............well that's not his real name, but since he's handing out some pills, I thought that was a suitable name. Actually I think they are smarties...............oh yeah and for my american friends, Smarties are milk chocolate coated candies, somewhat like M&M's but with a milkier tasting chocolate. In Canada, the candies that our U.S. friends calls Smarties are called Rockets...............yum, I like those too!!! Especially the Yellow ones!!! Make your teeth ring! Okay, now I am having a SUGAR craving.......thanks a lot!!!!..oops.........guess it's my fault!!!

Oh yeah, about the card...........Dr. Happy..........Happy cause he's prescribing Smarties! The Images are from the Dr. Hanna set!! Cute eh??? I used Basic Gray, Basic Grey Marakesh DP and More Mustard................coloured with copics and embellished with a little floral punch and some SU creamy caramel buttons threaded with linen thread. I had a hard time keeping the ribbon off this card. For some reason to me a card without ribbon is like wearing a really great outfit without a good bra!!! LOL!!!! Okay, think it's time to get dusting, I'm getting a little carried away.

Check the sidebar to see the other great creations from our Talented Hanna Girls!!!!

Happy Stamping, Cleaning..........hmmm nope, cleaning is not a happy thing! Well just enjoy your day!!!

See you Tomoz!

  2. Hey Vicki! Your dust bunnies bit you. . .I think several attacked me yesterday! LOL! It's true. . .if you say it enough times, it may actually happen. Dream big, that's what I always say! LOL! Hmmm...let me try it. . .I WILL CLEAN, I WILL CLEAN. . .nope, it's not working!

    Love your card. . great job with the masculine card! I try to avoid making masculine cards because it never turns out the way I want it to. It starts off as a guy card but end up metro in the end. It's great you managed to keep yours masculine! Love the colors, perfect for a guy card.

    Hope you have a fabulous Sunday. . .cleanint! LOL!

  7. Oh, that's funny! I'd love to send one to every stamper on my list! This has been a housework day for me, too, and it's absolutely gorgeous outside. But I have to clean...I have company coming tomorrow. I should learn to not put it off!

  8. I figure that right about now those chores are a dim memory and you are in Willie and Billy Bob heaven! I love live concerts. There's just nothing like them.

    I've been seeing a lot of cool previews of Hanna and Riley. Yours, of course, top the list. *smile*

    Hugs,

  10. I feel for you Vicki I have been cleaning all day and the task is still not accomplished. Since we renovated a bathroom and put new floors in the kid's room there seems to be dust with no end in sight, maybe with everyone back to school tomorrow I can get some stamping accomplished.

  11. Hey every body needs a Dr. Happy!!!! I can't wait to see Willie - our concert is on the 11th. It should be a good time.
    I'll try to make it over to the Release Party tonight. Maybe I'll have a nap when I get home so I can stay awake for it!

Damn near broke my fingers fighting my hands open, cute lil buggers turned SO mean. HJAHAHAH I guess that is what I get for BEING mean.... I LOVE Smarties WAY better than M&M's!!!!
