What a long day!!

Man, what a long day! This week, even though it's a short work week, I have a feeling it's going to be a long week. Funny how it works that way!

I made this card yesterday evening. I love how it turned out. I have forgotten just how fun making cards can be. I have tons of scraps, so I am thinking that there will be a lot of card making in my future!

I don't have pictures...yet, but we have a new addition to our zoo. Actually, we have three new additions to our zoo. Not our indoor zoo, but our outdoor zoo. Momma Cat, a solid black stray who adopted us several months ago has three iddy bitty kittens. They are currently residing under our A/C unit. I have seen two of them, Chris has seen all three. They are starting to venture out, but not far from the A/C unit. It won't be long before they will be on our front porch eating with the rest of the zoo. I refuse to touch them, I forbid Chris to touch them and I certainly have put my foot down that they will not come into our house! The Three Stoogettes are enough!

However, once they start venturing out more, I will try to get a picture of them. They are all solid black and one has white paws. Hoppy is definitely the daddy (another stray who has adopted us).

Something funny happened Sunday night. Chris and I were outside on the front porch. Something caught Chris' attention. It was a baby skunk and he was coming up on the front porch with us. Chris dang near ran me over getting away from the skunk. Once the skunk realized that he was not alone, he back tracked very quickly. You would think between the big freaking racoons and baby skunks, that we live out in the woods. Nope, we live in the middle of town. Apparently, word has gotten out in the animal world that there is food at the pink festive house on Maple! LOL!!

Great card! That's how I use my scraps, making cards.

Your house sounds like us! We deal with raccoons and skunks too, along with too many squirrels and sometimes snakes! But we do live in the country.
