Hey there! How is your week so far? Mine has been pretty good. Have you ever been up close and personal with a baby possum? I mean a 3 inch long little rat looking thing? haha! Well, between my neighbor and our house we have found 8 in the last two weeks! The poor mom must have abandoned them or something horrible happened because she is no where to be found. My neighbors dog got two (awe!) and 3 were found in my pool (awe!) and then I caught 2 yesterday and called around and found a wildlife rehabilitator to take them!!! In case you wanted to know, I called the vet and they gave me her name. Anyhow, she will take care of them and feed them until they are old enough to release. In the meantime, I come home, walk the dog, and find another one near my neighbors fence. I didn't catch that one cuz hubby said leave it alone haha! The wildlife lady said they can have up to 13! Yikes! So that's my drama for the week. I sure hope I don't see anymore.
I did make another sneak peek for you to see! Don't you just love these new stamps from Lili of the Valley so far? They will be available April 6th woo hoo! That's not that far away!!
This stamp is called "Big Hug". Don't they just look like best buds?
I used Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers as usual haha! Gosh what did I do before the flowers came along?
The little tag is stamped with a Papertrey Ink stamp. I colored everything with distress inks like always and the papers are from a very sweet friend called Imaginisc-Enchanted. I also used the Sentiment Tags from LOTV.
I love working with stamps that make me smile, and this one sure did it for me! I hope you like it too!
Thanks so very much for stopping by!
Hugs, Dena
