Hi Guys!

OK, so go ahead say it. A nice big double DUHHHHH!

 And now don't go and tell me that you wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't said anything cos you know it glares at you like a headlight! And if you didn't notice you probably "speed blog hopping". lol

Anyway!

4Ever And Ever

Hi Guys!

How has your weekend been going? Its gone downright cold here and I'm not too happy about it. 

Nevermind. The sooner winter comes the sooner spring comes. Or something like that.

Today I am showcasing another cute stamp by Tina Wenke. Love these little mice but let me tell ya, that water was enough to scare anyone silly. I wielded my prismas and Lyras and did my level best. I'm not 100% happy with the water but I'm not going to lose sleep over it either. Especially not during the day.

By the way, in case you're wondering ,I haven't made up my mind if this image is supposed to be day or night. My daughter says that regardless of whether its day or night, shouldn't that moon/sun be bigger from a mouse's viewpoint? Man, don't you hate it when kids are right??
