Bugaboo Stamps & Catch the Bug: 10/30/2010

"Come," said the wind to the leaves one day.
"Come o'er the meadow and we will play.
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. . .;)
