Happy Thursday. I know many of us are wishing for Friday already. I know I sure am. I can't believe we are already approaching the end of Sept. This is getting ready to mark the first 6 weeks of school. WOW. Time sure does fly. Feels like we both just started and have been going through this routine forever, lol. Sharing this card today

Here's a fun cat theme image from Le Petite Market on Etsy. I just love their fun stamps. This cat is just too cute. I added some Turkish lace and some bling to go along with him. I have to wonder what he is telling me. Hmmm. What do you think?
There's a fun cat theme contest HERE. Check it out.

Here's some more blog candy! Everyone's favorite, UNITY STAMPS!! Woo Hoo, plus some great assortments.
But first coffee....here's another cute coffee theme card using this sweet stamp from Le Petite Market (online from Etsy); They make some great stamp sets. I love the coffee cup animals. I also had to add some fun donut theme stickers and of course, some Turkish Lace.
Hope you love him!
Here's the cutest fall bunny from Le Petite Art on Etsy. Don't you just love him? Super cute. I adore all their stamp sets, they come with great pairings of images for a great price. I would totally love a yellow scarf like this one.

HEY--I'm so excited to announce that I added a store to etsy to sell Turkish Lace it's HERE:
Check it out, I'd love your feedback. Right now I am doing small amounts with pieces big enough for cards and smaller (like tag sized), but if you LMK what you want, I can make a pack just for you!!
Thought we would start out the week with a little coffee image, but somehow the coffee has been replaced with a cute rabbit and carrot. Hmmm. Well, still, start your week out with some coffee. Yum. Coffee and a little Turkish lace?
Yep that combo sounds right, TURKISH coffee and TURKISH lace! two things you know I love, lol!!

so you wanna see what the winners got? Here's the photos of the prizes, each person received 10pcs of Turkish lace in assorted sizes and colors, each pc is 18" long (so enough for about 3 cards if they are 6in wide each);for my metric friends, which is basically the whole world, minus America, these are just short of 1/2 a meter long, the whole length is not shown in the photo. Total of each pack is 5 yards worth.
so as not to spoil the surprise, I don't know WHICH person (Suz or Gaye) gets which pack, i just put a pack in each envelope and mailed it, so they are still up for a surprise :)
Pack 1
so at the end of the day, I am thinking about mailing up some packages like these and selling a few. I can do 5yard packs (10pcs 18in each) or 5 yard packs (5 yards, 1 yard pcs). lol, gotta fund some of that travel in order to get MORE lace, lol!!
what do you guys think? I am thinking around $5 per pack with maybe a a fun suprize or extras if you get more than one pack. Should I take photos of the packages? should they all be a surprise? should I leave them as all mixed colors? packs with just white, just off white? just black? I doubt any will likely be the same, lace come in small bundles and I use some of it, so I don't often have more than a couple extra yards of each kind.
I would love to hear your feedback.

Here's a cute Kitty theme card using wonderful stamps from Le Petite Market on Etsy. They have the cutest stamp sets including several dog/cat sets that I love. I got this wonderful die cuts on Ebay, precut as I don't own these dies. I think this kitty looks like a scaredy cat running away. Too fun.

Getting over the jet lag from the trip home. Usually i manage this buy simply forcing myself to stay awake the entire trip home (not that hard as the seat is pretty uncomfortable) and then when I get home sleep day one to the correct time. It's surprisingly quick turn about. I managed to do it last year as I had to go back to work almost instantly after returning to from Turkey. I have just a tiny buffer this year, but not much.
Coffee, hmmm, maybe Diet Dr Pepper to the rescue.
Here's one of my husband's favorite animals. A moose of course. He's always threatened to get a moose head and put it in his man cave (not that we really have a man cave in our house. Frankly our house is not high enough ceilings for a moose head to work, lol. But he still threatens it from time to time. So, here you go darling, I don't want any "trophies" on my wall. I am not a hunter but not necessarily opposed to hunting (unless you are just a trophy hunter!!)
Hugs dear, hope this moose card will suffice.
WOW. So school really is over. Thankfully. Now there is just a week until I get ready to leave for Turkey. I am so excited. I can't believe it's really going to happen. Who knew? OK I knew I have been planning this for like a year when I got an extra ticket, but still, a year ago everything seemed so uncertain. That being said will so miss the DH.
So much to do before leaving, hmmm.....normally I have so much time to get ready lol. Don't you love the turkish lace on this card? I think it really stands out
Sharing this adorable cat card today from Le Petite Market. What a fun image! I added a sweet sentiment, "A Cat's Life" and some gorgeous Turkish Lace to go with it. I really must learn some turkish on my next trip. I know only very basic things. I need to learn things like numbers (so I know what they are telling me in the market), directions,....wish my Turkish friends here had time to teach me.
OK, will start with numbers, let's all learn together, a few numbers I already know, like 10, because it sounds like one in english, "On" means 10 in turkish. When I am walking through a market, i hear "ON" very often meaning 10 lira. (that's about $1.35)
Sharing this card today. I am sure you have heard that statement about pigs flying, well today you are seeing one, so I hope your wishes about something happening when you see a pig fly happens today. I am using some lovely Turkish lace to go with the card. This image is from Le Petite market on Etsy.
Happy first week of April. Just 2 months of school now!
Here's a great little coffee theme stamp from Le Petite Market of Etsy. They have the most wonderful stamp sets including this coffee theme one. I added some great coffee theme tape from Doodlebug and of course a brad of a coffee bean to top it off. HA. Had enough yet? Check out their wonderful coffee theme sets. (They also have cute things like cats in tea cups...)
Hope you are having a great week. Glad to be back in school and getting ready for the last two month of the year. Not long now until Turkey!
Here's a bright and cheery card today. I know it looks very spring like, but the cute little dog is wearing a scarf, so I thought it good for winter time. He's so cute. This stamp comes from La Petite Market on Etsy. I am also using some gorgeous Turkish lace for the project. Hope you like it.
Sharing this cute cat image from La Petite Market on Etsy. I just love their wonderful digi stamps. They have fun stamp sets at great prices. I adore all sorts of sets they sell. I hope you like this card including the gorgeous brown lace I am using.
Happy Thursday everyone. I hope this week has been wonderful for you. Just one more day until the weekend. I am sure we are all ready for that.
