Hoo's Awesome?

My Tweetie is!  that's who.  Hope the DH is doing lovely today.  I made this cute card from a kit by SEI.  He's been super awesome in letting me leave and run off to fun for the summer.  Love you so much.  Huge kisses dear,

 

Cute Owls

 Here's one of my favorite animals, Owls! I just love them.  We have a couple of different breeds of owl that show  up in our backyard in the evenings from time to time.  They are just amazing. They don't look all that big until they open out their wings and you can see their amazing wingspan.  WOW.

End of week 5?

 WOW, how can it be? I don't believe it. There's no way I have been here this long already.  Then again, I look at my piles and piles of lace purchases, Hmmmm, yeah.

I thought this card was very appropriate.  I feel very welcomed by so many people here.  I wish I could remember who made this adorable owl. I really want to say Unity, but it might also be stamps by Judith.  If you know, please leave a comment for me!!

Owls

Tuesday of the last week of school.  WOW.  Just three days for the kids and the staff comes on Friday.  Gonna miss those little ones over the summer.  Even though I will be in Turkiye, the DHH kids still go to school.  They grow and learn SO much SO quickly.  I know I am going to be super surprised to see them when I get back in August for school i will be amazed at how much they have learned.

Hoot Hoot little ones!

I don't give a hoot.....(LOL, not really)

I thought this card was too funny.  It says, "I don't give a hoot."  HA!  well, you all know that's not true. but I thought this funny owl with his head stuck in a coffee cup was too much fun.  Gave me a laugh.  This cute stamp and sentiment come from Unity Stamps.  Today is the last day of the contest at Coffee loving Papercrafters on FB. 2022 Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop | Coffee Loving Cardmakers!

I also added some great Turkish lace to it.  Check out my store here: LacePlaceByHolley - Etsy

Funny Owl

Here's the funniest owl card that also has some coffee.  It says "You've BEAN on my mind a LATTE."  ha.  You know I love that.  At this point I am missing the coffee from Turkiye.  I know I can just make some myself, but it's so much nicer to go somewhere and have it fresh made for you.

Today marks the first day back at the NEW school.  Hmmm, I wonder how  I will get in the front door.

You're Owlsome

 Here's a sweet Unity Owl stamp and a fun sentiment that comes from a digi stamp company.  I added some great sunflower bling to go with it. I hope this card gave you a smile today.  I always have loved owl stamps.  They make me smile.

All Things

"All things are possible if you Believe." So says this card with the gorgeous owl.  I just love Unity stamps esp the animals from this artist. Isn't this owl just TOO cute?  I hope you will have a little renewed faith today in a recent wish that you have.  May it be granted.  Amen.

Sharing this cute owl theme card today using a stamp from Unity Stamps.  Are they having Coffee or More?  Hmmmmm, I guess I will leave that decision up to you.  I am not sure how people will vote on this one.  I am a huge coffee fan, so that's what I would say, but...

I'm so excited to announce that I added a store to Etsy to sell Turkish Lace it's HERE:

Hope you are all  having a wonderful week, we are now 2 months to the end of school.  Dare I count the number of days?

Whoooooo are we?

Here's a cute set of owls from Stampendous today.  I have always just loved owls and now Owls are the mascot for the school that I work for (Doss Elementary school aka The Doss Owls).  So when I am at School I see owls everywhere.  I suppose now I have more excuses to be buying owl stamps and making owl theme cards!

The staff is back to work this  in just one week.  Ahhh, time to get going. I suppose we are all ready and excited.  I have just 5 days left in Turkiye.  EEEK. Both happy to enjoy this last of the trip but also excited to go home and see the DH

I need a hug!

Sharing this adorable Owl today from Aall and Create.  Too sweet. The sentiment I am using comes from Unity Stamps.  I also added some great Turkish Lace to the mix.  I am sending all of you some virtual hugs today.  {{HUGS}}

Hope you have a wonderful day!  I can't wait to share with y'all some photos of all the lace and crafting stores I saw.

Owl rather be with you!

Here's the cutest owl card today from artist Gerda Steiner Designs.  She has some darling animal stamps including owls!  (also, too cute Hippos!!)  Hope you love this this sweet card today.  I am getting back to card making this summer as I have pretty much finished all the selling, so now I will have more time for crafting and cleaning (ugh, cleaning). But I need to get some of that done before the school year gets started.

Hope you are having a wonderful summer still. Enjoy it.  It seems to be going so very fast.

Owl love you forever

Here's the cutest owl from Whipper Snapper Stamps. I adore owls and I added a fun cardstock sticker from Adorn it.  Of course the finishing touch here had to be some wonderful Turkish Lace.  Today is a marvelous day as spring break is HERE!!  Woo hoo!

I am so looking forward to getting lots of fun crafting done this coming week and having a chance to see some friends!

Happy Howloween

Here's a cute set of stamps that I mentioned earlier this month.  I used this fun sentiment with another owl stamp.  I also had this cute owl stamp for Halloween, so I had to pull out this sentiment again to go on this card.  I also had this cute owl die cut from Pebbles.

Hope this card gave you a little smile today.  Have a great day!

Happy Howloween

Here's a fun Owl stamp and a funny owl sentiment to go with it.  I actually bought this owl sentiment to go with another cute owl stamp that I will share later this month, but since I also had this fun owl theme Halloween stamp, I decided to also use it here.

Hope you are having a great month of October.  We will be having the first conference day (meaning we will be working but the kids will be off school) next week, so the parents came come in and speak with teachers about their kids progress.

Happy Birthday Dad

LOL, Happy Birthday DAD, this card is for you. Hope it makes you smile.  If you have a kid as old as me, you must be really really old now. Have a wonderful day.

Happy Easter Owl!

Here's a sweet image from Unity stamps.  I just love their adorable owls.  I paired it with some great Jolee's embellishments and some wonderful lace from Turkiye.  I hope everyone has lovely plans for the holiday.
