A Little Mousie Told Me

I have a special delivery for you today - IT'S A MOUSE! We were having a hilarious conversation this week about people who are freaked out by mice, and I have to tell you, I am NOT one of those people. Generally, if something has fur, I think it's cute. And, for the record, NO SPIDERS HAVE FUR so just stop with that noise. I mean MAMMALS. All mammals are cute to me.

And they're even cuter if they are made with this adorable new stamp, watercolored, bringing me flowers, sprinkled with my favorite sequins, and sitting on the most beautiful plaid paper in all the land! I stamped him in Acorn ink (waterproof) to give him a vintage look. He's clearly a very strong mouse, in addition to being sweet.

What are your plans for the weekend? I might make Christmas cards with friends and finish setting up my craft annex. I've "annexed" the other guest room (the rooms in our house are teeny) for a standing work surface for my paper cutter and die cutters - I'm tired of hunching, and also the guest room has been used like four times and I live here, so I'm reclaiming it. :)

I have a SUPER fun video coming for you tomorrow with an awesome Thanksgiving project and featuring the new Concord & 9th release, so come by early!

Loveyameanitbye.

  14. Not fond of real mice, but my grand kids have one in a colorful maze/cage. They also have a cat and a hedgehog. He is cute but not furry. Mice on cards are cute, I agree.

  27. Heh, heh, hehhh... Clearly the flowers are for you! And he is strong. But the flowers look like straw/dried and the can might be paper mache. This is very sweet, Lydia! Thank you for the smiles!!! Now I need to snoop around your blog to find that one card I saw a few weeks back and forgot to immediately come over to look.
