Catching Up


Good Morning Stamp Friends!!!

I can't believe it's been a month since my last post. A lot has happened since then. Since Snuffy's passing, it was too quiet here during the day. I broke down and bought 3 more Chinese Dwarf hamsters. Yes, I said 3:) When I went to the pet store, I asked the girl working if she had any and she brought them out of the back. I had already decided that I would get two the next time we got a hamster, but there were 3 and they were all from the same litter. I couldn't decide. One of them had more white. I knew I wanted him, because he looked so different from all of the others I'd seen, but I didn't have the heart to leave one there alone. My husband wasn't too happy about it at first, but the kids and I love them to pieces.

Last week was a very busy week for me. I've needed birthday cards, a wedding card and a graduation card. Here is what I came up with:

I hope you like them. It will be a very busy week for me. I'm in the process of planning a baby shower shower for my sister-in-law. I need to make 35 invitations and they have to go in the mail on June 1st. I haven't even designed the card yet, but I'm sure it won't take long to put them together. Designing it is the most challenging part for me, because I want it to be something she'll cherish forever. I will be back soon to share the invitation with you.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
