spring blossom thanks

In my house this year (all 17 days of it), this is how bad it is: I have laundry up the wazoo. The kitchen is verging on being declared a disaster zone. It's dusty everywhere. I need to get groceries. The oil in the van needs changing (it's not my job). The front room is a disaster zone as well (the room with no furniture...). The computer desk has piles I need to deal with up to my eyeballs. Our family tradition of taking our Christmas decorations down on New Years day has fallen by the wayside this year. They are still up. Don't even ask about my stamping space...

However, day by day the foster dogs are getting better. I love my husband and he loves me. My kids are happy. The bills are paid. And I'm cherishing every minute of stamping time I can scavenge.

I bought this stamp from Michelle at Stamper's Dream called Spring Blossoms. I think she is darling! I could hardly wait to colour her when they arrived. I pulled out my prismacolours and had a grand time. Most of the supplies for this card are available from i {heart} papers and links are provided in the list of supplies to make your shopping easier *wink*

A darling woman in my stamping life gave movie tickets to me for no reason at all. I was speechless. I made this for her, and I hope she likes pink!


I think I need to take better pictures tomorrow when the light is better. I was just so happy to be done a project that I wanted to share right away.
