Tail Wagging Day

This card is for the Hanna Stamps Challenge of the week to add bling. The only bling I added was in the bottom left corner. But the paper is nice and shiny in real life, so I hope that helps the feel of adding bling. The paper is from DCWV and the stamps are from Hanna, from the sentiment set, the Route 66 sets and from the recently released dog sets.
I have been painting a bit lately too. The tea bag holders go with the set I am making for an upcoming charity auction. The rest of the set is not out of the kiln yet. Sorry that the strawberry is so shiny, it is a shine from the flash and I don't know how to fix it.

I went across to Zionsvile and had lunch with a friend and her daughters today. They are thre months and 2 1/2 years old. Man, they were a lot of work. I have been feeling old lately and realizing my baby days are gone and my boys are big. After a few hours of serving the needs of small children I am okay with this now. In the space of a few short hours all sorts of bodily fluids left their bodies from various parts of them and I am lucky that the only thing that involved me was burping the baby who spit up all over my sleeve and back.

I came home and needed to change clothes, but needing also to do laundry and clean up so we could ger ready for a last minute party for Seth tomorrow. I am worn out.

Makin' Deliveries

A big shout out to my friend Rebecca who came up with the idea for the Easter Hanna making deliveries. I just love how all the Hanna sets work so well together. I took Hanna from the Route 66 set and added the accessories from the Spring Time set. Wouldn't you just love to get a great easter basket delivered full of stamping supplies?

And as to the question about "Why the arrow?" Why not? It is hard to come up with appropriate accessories for a set like this. Flowers just don't work. The arrow conveys motion and movement, and I like it.

The Scenic Route

Well, mention a product you don't care for and see who comes out of the woodwork. I do appreciate the comments from yesterday. I don't care if people like my opinions or not, I am just glad to get responses from people. (Be kind, leave comments on blogs. )

Today's Hanna is called Route 66 and it is sure to be a hit. A woman on a motorcycle is a unique sight in the stamping world. That background paper is appropriately enough from a company called Scenic Route.

I volunteered at Noah's school today. I laminated and laminated and laminated. I don't think his teacher realizes how much lamination can cost or he wouldn't be quite so addicted to it. I used up every last bit of lamination on the roll. Poster after poster went through the lamination machine today. I really don't like to volunteer in Noah's class. The school is huge and his teacher usually has me running all over the place to help out and the class is on the second floor, but nothing else is. I am up and down the stairs all morning. I know his teacher appreciates me as I do whatever needs to be done, but I don't enjoy it. I wnat to stop going but cannot come up with a good enough excuse. I mean, I do have the time to share. If I were to quit, I'd just feel lazy.

Another thing I don't like to do...make dinner. It's just so daily and so under appreciated around here. Seems like I am always trying to come up with something. No sooner do I finish cooking one meal and then I have to worry about coming up with something for the next. I feel particularly lazy today, maybe it will be pancake or waffle night.
