I don't like the way mascara clumps on my eyelashes, it makes me feel dirty

I finished the card I wanted to for the jinglebelles challenge this week. I'm so glad. This weekend has been so nice with the abundance of free time to do what I want and need to do. I spent the majority of my morning cleaning with out kids around. Do you know how much more enjoyable cleaning is with out kids around? Holy crap. I had forgotten that adds like 4x as much misery to cleaning than cleaning already blows.

I also managed to sell the old rat cage on craigslist. Yeah! Money!

Anyways.. here's my card for the home challenge Christmas card. Its a flamingo. I live in Florida. Get it?






























Flamingo stamp (hand carved by me), just chillin rub on cosmo cricket

I have to leave now to go to a pug meeting. I made a hand carved stamps and some simple stamped cards to show them with the silhouette they sent me. Gotta go! Thanks for stopping by!

I always wondered about Christmas in Florida. Do the flamingos wear Santa hats? Scarves? Hmmm ... now I'm thinking ...

Oh, I'm back. And I love the colors you chose. Very Florida-y. :)
