Put on your dresses scarlet and gold,
for summer is gone and the days grow cold."

Bugaboo Stamps: Santa | Stockings

PSST. . .I've got a secret.

I don't make my Christmas cards. I purchase them from my local Hallmark store in boxes of 20 + envelopes. "That's cardmakeing heresy!" you shriek. I know, but I send something like 115 cards at Christmas, and there's no way in hell that I'm going to tie 114 more of these twine bows!

Bugaboo Stamps: Clown Numbers | Six

The road to Hell is paved with birthday cards for the wrong age. . .{sigh}

I could have sworn on all that is holy that Connor Michael (my best friend Bren's son) was going to be six on 10/30/2010. DOH - He's going to be seven!  I don't think that I'm going to be able to disguise this with a couple of strokes of my pen. . .;)

WHEW. . .It's a good thing that I got him that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Wii game that he wanted for his birthday!

Bugaboo Stamps: Fancy Sunbonnets | Halloween

That shadow is going all Godzilla over my little Tokyo of a card, isn't it? ;)

The clock is tick-tick-ticking towards All Hallows' Eve, so you're going to see a flurry of orange & black this week. Bugaboo Stamps has soooo many frightful & delightful Halloween image to work with that I'm going to back to the laboratory to see if I can't scare up some more shriekingly chic projects. . .;)

The Crafty Hos: Photo Challenge

Given my strong aversion to nature (Get it the hell offa' me!), it's no surprise that try as I might, I simply couldn't get inspired by it. . .{sigh!}

Perhaps "purple mountain majesties" and their ilk will get you going enough to work the corner this week with The Crafty Hos. . .;)
