Thinking of You - TTTC242

 



For someone who doesn't stencil much I sure do have a lot of stencils. So one of my stamping resolutions for this year is to use those stencils!  The Fancy Floral from Gina K is simple, sweet and just perfect for this week's Tic Tac Toe Board.  

Meanwhile an update on the Mush-Room!  Will finally got to see his new room yesterday and was so excited - and he was even more excited when Auntie and Cousin Emma jumped out of the closet - lots of shrieking! 




I went right across the top row of our Tic Tac Toe Challenge today!  Lots of possibilities - hope you join us!

Let's Eat Cake...FMS625

 



That bunny looks like he has already had a few cupcakes - I can relate! But he is a cutie and the perfect messenger on a birthday card!  I start every year with a vow that I will keep up with birthdays and send cards and in January I did pretty well.  In February I managed to keep up but I wrote most of them on the actual birthday so those cards were a tad late. Have to admit I rarely just sign my name - I always have a few things to say! We are only talking about four cards a month but I can only imagine what will happen in March......



I love the elements in Jen Brum's sketch this week!  Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Do Your Own Thing! FMS624

 




I love this sweet set from Colorado Craft Company - also love how we all just "do our thing" in the craft world - that's what makes it so amazing!

And I promised some pictures of the Mush-Room as we are now calling Will's new bedroom at our camp on the lake.  Not exactly what I would put in my bedroom but Will is doing his own thing in life so mushrooms it is! And yes the red light on the nightstand and green light on the headboard have remotes to change light colors......
















No mushrooms for this little mouse - he prefers flowers!




So many possibilities with Kim's great sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Hope you join us!

A Retro Hello! FMS623

 





Just a fun way to say hello this Valentine's Day!  When I was young our telephone was similar to this one - big, clunky and black. It sat on a lace doily on its own little table. Those were the days when we read Dick Tracy every Sunday in the comic section of the newspaper.  He kept in touch with the other "good guys" by talking into his wristwatch......and we laughed at such craziness.....little did we know......

I definitely drew inspiration from our living room from so long ago....the clunky phone, stenciled hearts like patterned wallpaper, a touch of lace and a retro look designer paper.



It's my turn to host at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  The sketch is wide open - use whatever works for you in the oval area!  Hope you join us - especially because it is cold this week in the Northeast so I'd love to sip some tea and visit your galleries!
