Bugaboo Stamps & Catch the Bug: 08/28/2010

A great big THANK YOU to our friends in the UK at Stampin Dragon Designs for sponsoring Catch the Bug's Dog Days of Summer challenge this week with a GC for four free digi stamps to your online store!!! God Save the Queen, Rule, Brittania!, St. George's Cross, and that bit about the sun never setting on the British Empire. . .;)

The Challenge: Make an animal-themed project using neutrals + 1 color and post a link to it on Bugaboo Stamps' challenge blog, Catch the Bug, by 09/04/2010 at 7:00 AM EST to be entered in a random drawing for three digi prize packs - seven, four, or two digital images!

PS. Speaking of dogs, meet our rescue greyhound, Poppy "The Dog" de Guadalupe Springer! Isn't she just the cutest little sugar-booger you've ever seen?!?!? Here she is taking a nappy-poo in her BCB (big comfy bed, which is on Daddy's side of course) with her baby, mandapanda.

Here's a typical conversation between Poppy's Daddy and I. . .

ME: Do you love me?

LANCE: More than anything in the whole world.

ME: More than Poppy?

LANCE: Yes.

ME: A lot more?

LANCE: No.

ME: Uh-huh. . .So, if the house was on fire, and you could only save one of us, who would you choose?

LANCE: Are you conscious or unconscious? I mean, could you walk or even crawl?
ME: What?!?!?
LANCE: Poppy's my baby - She needs me!

ME: Then she'll appreciate that you're sleeping with her tonight!

Bugaboo Stamps: Stella Sewing |

Not only am I not a goth, nor a tomboy, but I'm also neither June Cleaver, The Pioneer Woman (Although I do L-O-V-E, LOVE cowboys!),  nor anyone's Aunt Jemima.

You're talking to an honor student with a full scholarship who got a C- in Home Economics because she failed the Sewing half of the class. I never finished the dress that I was supposed to make, and you know what? So what! Unlike math (which I've used every single day of my life), I've never even had to sew a button back onto a shirt (That's why God invented tailors and dry cleaners!). So all that remains to be said is:

Y tu mama tambien, Martha Stewart!

PS. However, if you like sewing, make sure you hop, stitch, and jump your way over to Bugaboo Stamps' challenge blog, Catch the Bug, for Freebie Friday.

PSS. No, I'm not still bitter about having my GPA ruined. . .;)

Bugaboo Stamps: Sunbonnet Baseball | Girl

I admit it! I was that incredibly annoying girly-girl in PE that always got picked last for a team because I screamed and ducked whenever a ball came hurtling my way! A tomboy, I am not. . .which probably explains why my attempt at pennants looks more like a ziggurat than anything baseball-ish. . .{sigh}

Regardless of the fact that I'm sports-challenge, I'm looking forward to the rest of these Sunbonnet images for this week's New Release Tuesday on Bugaboo Stamps' challenge blog, Catch the Bug.

PS. Hate the game, not the player. . .)
