Burnin' Rubber...rubber stamps that is...

So where did I leave off? I think Day 11 & 12...

I know, I know, I am still behind but I will hopefully be catching up this week so long as work & Libby do not interfere. LOL

Speaking of Libby, this is what my patio looked like when I got home tonight...

She pulled a empty box out of the garbage can. A garbage can that is 3 - 4x the size of her. It makes me shake my head and wonder... HOW? How is this possible? This sweet little puppy and yet...so, so, DESTRUCTIVE!! LOL 

But wait, there is MORE!! Just before I got home Robert said the house was quiet. Well, the minute the house is quiet you know that "Little Sh*t" is up to something. And something can only mean TROUBLE! Since the weather has changed our garage door doesn't shut unless you pull it. Robert forgot to pull the door. Needless to say, Libby knows there is food out in the garage. HER food. Her yummy food. She apparently felt that Robert did not feed her enough at dinner so she went out to the garage and got herself a little snack...or two...or three...or a belly full...

 

Do you see how big her belly is? Goodness gracious. I can't believe she ate that much! And yes, she IS eating a bedtime cookie. What can I say? We are a bunch a suckers over here. LOL  At least you can't see her ribs or hip bones anymore, not like when we first brought her home. (Thank GOODNESS!)

Okay, so enough about Libby...

Here is my Day 11 Countdown to Christmas card...

I pulled out one of my most FAVORITE Cat's Pajamas stamps EVER! The Skater. She is...WONDERFUL! I love her. I don't think she gets enough air time. She is so much more than a penguin, or a polar bear...she is...the SKATER! She has perky boobies too. Why is that?? I don't get it. LOLOLOLOL Anyway, I think she looks pretty darn cute skating in that snow globe, don't you? :)

Okay, so now that you have seen Day 11, how about Day 12?

 

Sorry about the repeating colors. I couldn't help myself. I had my American Crafts Christmas paper out from last year and was going to town. Yes, I was actually using up some of my scraps. NICE!! Nice ice by the way. Is it ice though? Looks more like snow don't you think?? You know what I used to do that? TCP Holiday GLITZY!! Oh mama, that stuff is FUN! (Thanks Alma!!!). I am definitely going to be using more of that!! :)

Alright, I better get going... 3:30am comes early. UGH! I hope to see you all tomorrow.

Night Folks!

Catching up, here is Day 10 of my Christmas Countdown...

Spent a little time stamping this morning in hopes to get caught up on my Christmas Countdown. Work is really interfering in my stamp time! LOL

Hope you are not tired of all The Cat's Pajamas stamps this past week...I just can't seem to put them down. BIG GRIN! I have one more to show you...hang on...I have it right here...

 

TAH DAH!! I was also using Julee's Mojo Monday Sketch 115 for my card, see...

Although I think my tag looks a little wonky off to the side, don't you? Maybe I need to do a make over...LOL I will think about it as I clean the house. Maybe I will have to tweak it a little.

Speaking of cleaning house, I better get mine started. UGH!

Before I go though, here are some funny nose pics of my sweet babies...

This is Molly, see the beautiful grey on her chin? I love that!

 

This here is Bailey...she has the most kissable lips...makes me want to go find her and plant one on her (not literally...LOL)...

 

And last, but certainly not least is Libby...she is such a goofball...LOL

 

Those cute little teeth are full of destruction. NO JOKE! LOL

Alright, I am off like a prom dress. I will see you later with my Countdown catch up posts!

See ya Folks!

Crikey, it's Day 9 of my Christmas Countdown...

What is going on? Doesn't it seem like time is just flying by? YIKES! Before you know it will be my birthday again and I will be another year closer to the big 4-0! WOWEEEE!!! That's crazy! LOL

Another crazy thing... we have already had Libby for a month! Our little girl is fitting in beautifully. She is currently laying next to me on the couch. She is quite the snuggler. All she wants to do is chew and sit really, really, really close to you. I love it.

Are you wondering where my card is? Hang on...I got it....right here...just a sec...ummmmm....

 

There it is...heehee

So tell me, is it too late to be good? If I start being good right NOW do you think Santa will bring me something good? Mmmmm, I hope so! I do, I do!! :) 

WHOA! Look at the time...I better get going! Hope you guys have a SUPER day tomorrow!

Peace out Peeps!

Day 8 of my Christmas Countdown...

Lookie, lookie, I'm posting AGAIN! Yeppers, gonna show off my stuff. YAHOO!!!

So how is everyone's week going so far? Mine is busy, busy! We were told mandatory OT the rest of the week, YUCK! That's okay though, only a couple more weeks and I am on vacation! YIPPEE!!! I am pretty excited about that. I also think I am going to be able to get all my Christmas cards sent out on time this year, WOOHOO!!! Now if I can only get my Christmas shopping done on time...oops! LOL

Without boring you to tears, let me get my card posted for you...

 

I think this is one of my favorite new stamps from The Cat's Pajamas. He is so stinkin' cute! And how about the blue? I think it is very becoming on him, don't you? LOL

Okie dokie then, I am off like a prom dress. My show "So You Think You Can Dance?" is on right now. Can't miss that! LOL

See you all tomorrow!

Day 6 & 7 of my Christmas Countdown...

  I am officially caught up! I am even staying up late to get this posted to my blog. Don't you feel special?? You should. LOL

You will be happy to know that my Sunday was NOT as lazy as my Saturday. I busted butt, got the house cleaned, laundry done and even STAMPED a couple cards. I was on FIRE! I even BBQ'd some chicken and cleaned up the destruction zone (compliments of Libby).

Oh yes, my sweet little angel has decided that it is her mission in life to chew all the drip lines, eat the garbage can lid, tear up the BBQ cover and trim/prune our Pygmy Palms. There are even two missing lantanas, not sure where those crawled off to... Oh to be a lab puppy. It must be a wondrous thing!! 

This is what she looks like when she is done...

 

pooped! LOLOLOL

Alright, so enough about my puppy troubles...here is my card for Day 6...

 

Love these yummy colors. And yes, I absolutely love the new Cat's Pajamas sets. Dang it. Sucked in AHHHH-GAIN! LOL

Okay, so here is Day 7...

 

For this super cute card I used my new Poppy Stamps. Have you bought any of these little beauties yet? Oh my, they TOTALLY make me smile. So fun! And yes, I am a little partial to my Molly...that is why all the little dogs get colored a golden yellow...LOL Don't you dare tell my little Bailey or Libby that I said that about Molly. Cause I love them just as much as Molly. I do, I really, really do!!

Oh boy, speaking of my sweet babies, Libby is crying. She had a rough day at the Vet today so I better go. She needs me to snuggle with her and make her all better. I will see you Peeps tomorrow.

Have a GREAT night!

Day 5 of my Christmas Countdown...

Yesterday was not as productive as I hoped it would be. WHAN! It was my own fault though. I was just too darn lazy. I couldn't even get out of my jammies until 4pm. What is up with that? I didn't get my errands done, didn't get any stamping done. No house cleaning, no shopping. UGH! I know better than that. Now I am going to have to cram it all in today. I better get my Super Powers activated!! LOL

But before I do that, let me show you the card I made fr TCP Tuesday. Yes, it has been a VERY long time since I have participated. It felt great! Check it out...

 

The challenge this week was to use the following colors:

 

I pretty much followed the challenge deets but I had to add a darker pink and my vanilla is really craft white because my vanilla craft pad doesn't show up as well on the kraft. I am pleased as punch with the results though. So cute! These new stamps from The Cat's Pajamas are absolutely adorable! Don't be surprised if you see more of them over the next week. I have several more ideas swimming through my head right now (love that!). 

Alright, I think I am going to go get some coffee and then get started on all the stuff I was supposed to do yesterday.

Hope you all have a FABULOUS Sunday!!

Peace out Peeps!

A personal post...

As many of you know I have been a LONG TIME lover of The Cat's Pajamas. In fact, one of things I have loved the most is being a part of the Design Team. Those stamps do me in every time. I love working with them, I love showing them off, I love promoting them. But alas, all good things must come to an end. With every closed door comes an open door. I am not sure what the open door is yet but am anxiously awaiting to see what it is.

While I am greatly saddened over TCP and I parting ways, I look forward to what the future may bring. I am also looking forward to spending more time working with my other much neglected stamps. You know, the ones with dust on them? LOL

This parting of ways DOES NOT mean that I will give up my Sprinkle addiction. I love her. I cannot live without her. She completes me.  You die hard TCP fans know what I am talking about.

I really am so thankful for being allowed to be a part of the The Cat's Pajamas DT. I loved it...truly, I did.

On that note...merry meet, merry part and merry meet again! (Yes, I stole this saying from the House of Night series, heehee)

 

Today is the day...

Time to get your new stamps over at The Cat's Pajamas!! YEAH!!

Here's another little piece of eye candy for you...

Love this card, so sweet...mmmm

So, uh, I am outta here. I am packing up the family & heading over to Dana's for a day of stamping. WOOT! WOOT!! Can I just tell you what a GREAT friend I have in Dana? How many of YOUR friends let you come over, bring your Sis & her three kids and let you invade their home? Mine does. She is the BEST!

On that note, see ya!

Just one more day...
