Mmmm and Birthday surprises!

Tinkering with the blog. Trying to figure out what I want for the blog photo. The one I had wasn't matching the newer colors, and I'm not sure which part I like better. I'm a hands on paper crafter, so I like the idea of the scraps of paper, so I'll probably keep playing some more. I love the little skunk in the tub, and it was an image left over from when I played a few weeks back. I just realize I forgot glitter on her! She's from a set in the new TAC book called "Serendipity", so far it's getting great reviews! Some cute sets in there.

I snapped that photo of my crazy family during a day outing this weekend. My husband had to make a funny face, and the kids had to follow suit, and I had to snap the photo! Makes me smile! I just love my family! We hiked up to see a pretty waterfall. I tried to get my camera setting to slow the water down so it looked all white and soft, but I couldn't figure it out. Maybe next time.

Anyhow, yesterday was my birthday, and I want to give a quick thank you to some friends. I came home to some happy mail from being out of town. Two friends sent me a BUNCH of fun new images to play with! There's even a few that you can't see in the photo under some of the other images. I was so excited when I opened up their little packages! Made my day! One friend was sweet enough to enclose a clear stamp set for me! How cool are my friends?! I can't wait to color these things! A few images I already have an idea who I want to give the finished products too!

Big thanks for those who sent birthday cards. I have them sitting on my mantel all pretty! Makes me smile to see them, and I love how each of you is such a creative, talented artist!
