Marianne says
How fun! Love those pretty colours and stripes. This week has been crazy. I barely managed to take a little time to create a background using a stencil and a dauber. I’m hoping I will be able to sit down and colour a bit this week. But now it’s off to bed, after doing my exercises for my frozen shoulder…
Happy you had a good time at the ME party.

I have been doing some coloring myself Kathy. I bought a coloring book and have been having fun coloring up the images in it. Thanks for the inspiration to just do it.
Judy says
Your birds are so cute! I love the stripes!
Heather B. says
I just love the speckles you put on their chests.
Gail Plaskiewicz says
Oh my gosh! I love what you did with those birds! They are so colorful! So much has happened this weekend and it’s all stamp related. We went to see an amazing corn maze and on the way is a shop that sells things I guess on consignment. They had antiques and stuff like that & a whole 6 shelves of Stamping’ Up stamps! They had a bunch of things in front of the shelves for sale too so I couldn’t look at all the stamps that they had and good thing too or we would probably still be there! LOL I only looked at what I could reach. They had stamp pads too but since I couldn’t try any of them out, I didn’t buy any. They had the deckled edged scissors but you had to buy the whole set. I only wanted the ones I didn’t have. There were so many stamp sets that this person must have been a demonstrator. Her loss, my gain! The prices she had on stuff was unreal! Boy did I get some deals! I bought a white cotton table runner for $2 that I will stamp on and a very pretty tea cup with daffodils on it. No one drinks tea but I will do a craft with it or just display it because it is so pretty. On the way home we stopped at a store I have only heard about on the news, Hobby Lobby. All their Christmas crafts were 40% off Guess who is going to have the most amazing Christmas cards in the country this year? Me! I love Hobby Lobby! It’s on the other side of CT which is why I have never visited before but my sister did once. Yesterday my Copics came in but because I wasn’t home to get the mail yesterday I got them today. Boy, did I have an amazing weekend! Oh yeah, we didn’t get lost in the corn maze either! LOL
Kathy Racoosin says
Thank goodness you didn’t get lost in the corn maze or you wouldn’t have scored so many goodies. You had the perfect day. All your goodies will keep reminding you of your super fun day. 🙂
Carol MJS says
