CM35 (December 14): Certainly A Critter's Real Christmas Colors
I love watching furry pets at Christmas. I love incorporating stuffed animals in with my Christmas decorations. So this week's colors are certainly celery (or similar shade), a Christmas red, a neutral color for color of a pet (brown, gray, black), and white or vanilla.

My Week in Review

Wow! I can't believe I haven't updated my blog in a week! So now I'm doing a week in review. LOL!

Saturday was a GREAT day! I went to a stamping & scrapbooking convention in Novi with dawnmercedes. She is a wonderful story teller and has pictures on her blog.

Sunday was spent putting EZ mount on stamps, organizing them in binders and cleaning my stamp room. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Woo Hoo!

Monday... I can't remember! LOL! I know I had fillings... ouch!

Tuesday... My new SU catty order arrived! But before it did, I made this first card for the color challenge this week on Splitcoast.

On Wednesday, I used one of my new sets for the sketch challenge on Splitcoast. I just LOVE this bear! The inside will say something like, "Maybe this will sweeten you up :)"
