Milton the Moose~~


Hmmmm, I THINK it's Milton! This is one of my last Thanksgiving cards, had thirteen of them this year. Now on to Christmas, EEEEK. So..........not a good day here. Up @ 5:30, hop out of bed ready for the gym, but first I need to feed the "kids." Well, it's dark out @ 5:30, so when I pounded into the living room, I promptly fell over my bag of copics that I had left on the floor the previous evening. BANG, right on my shoulder, and that should have been a clue TO GO BACK TO BED! But noooooo.....off to the gym, then to the bank to make a withdrawal, and lo and behold, my debit card is missing. AARRGGHH. So I went back home, checked the balance, and sure enough, I used it on Sunday to download some MP3's. I spent HOURS tearing this house apart (not that it's that big, Frodo would have a hard time living here) no debit card. AARRGGHH! Get the mail~~letter from a lawyer, about a house I have not owned in FIVE years, and a husband I have not been married to for SIX years. And then I find out that my fave show "Revenge" is not on tonight! Now I am all achy and thinking that the gym is out for tomorrow..........OK, enough whining. My image is High Hopes, colored w/copics. I'm entering this into the following challenges:
Outlawz (Sketch)
High Hopes (Anything Goes)
Stamps R Us (Male)
Anything Goes (Stitches)
Sassy Cheryl (Embossing)
Tuesday Throwdown (Favorite colors) Fall is my fave season!

Simon Says (Recycle) (I used my scraps

Totally Papercrafts (Stitches)
Cleary I Stamp (Color Challenge)
Craft Your Passion (Anything Goes/Brown)
I hate to end this on a sad note, but if you follow a lot of blogs you might be familiar with Katie Renz, who has been bravely battling stomach cancer. Sadly, she died a few days ago, so please say a prayer for her young children and husband. I lost a husband many years ago during the holidays, when my children were very young, and so my heart aches for this family. They will need every prayer they can get..................CJ

    Great card! I love that Milton image. (It's always nice to find a good masculine image since so many are cute or girly. I like cute & girly but it's not always what you need for a card.) Hope your day tomorrow is a better one..! Thanks so much for participating in this week's Totally Papercrafts challenge!
