Snow + Sunday = Craft Time!

We're under a "blizzard watch" today.

And if it weren't for the oldest's pesky science project that is due tomorrow, I would have the ENTIRE day to craft.  I keep trying to hide in the basement, away from the kidlettes and the hubby but sadly, they keep finding me!

Lena wanted us to use this image for our February meeting of the SSMIS group.  He's Cowboy Ralph from Rubbernecker.  I don't really have a lot of cowboy paper and embellishments so I made the best of the situation.  I think growing up in Arizona led to my adverse reaction to anything remotely Southwestern :-)  The gang did a fantastic job with this one, if you want to see how THEY worked with this stamp, click ~HERE~!

I think the card turned out cute though.  I'm sending it to my nephew Cam.  His birthday is Tuesday but his son was born today as an early present.  Welcome to the world Nathan Ward!

And ... another teacher appreciation card

OK, I promise this is the last MFT card for a while!

Today has NOT been a great day.  While mowing the lawn, I tripped over a hose left out and landed in the bushes.  Not only did I rip my pants, but I bruised my backside.  Then ... (as if that wasn't terrible enough) I managed to lock myself out of the house and had to hobble (with my behind hanging out) around to the front of the house where I knew there was a spare key hidden.  And then it started to rain. 

I took it as a sign that God wanted me to stamp and not mow the lawn.  I'm looking forward to tomorrow being better.
