And Owl Will Love You.. Owlways...

I hope you now have Bon Jovi stuck in your head too :) {sniggering to self}. Well, today has been an interesting mixture of uneventful and eventful! And I accomplished my goal of taking a non-crafting related pic- you can check it out next time I do my Project 365 mosaic in another 8 days.. There's a tempter for you to come back and check me out! Lol.

After wasting my morning waiting for a potential new housemate that decided at the last minute my place is too far from her work so didn't come, I was wandering around aimless at home cos my whole day had been messed up. I was surfing for some new Baby Stamps when I realised Art Stamps is the Australian distributer for Hero Arts and had all their new stamps in! I jumped in my car and toodled off to their shop (conveniently only 15mins from my house.. woo hoo!) and I relaxed and indulged my stamping senses in looking at all the new Rubber. Delicious! I only got one stamp from the new range (however, family, I saw many sets I wanted there!) but as soon as I saw it I put it in my shopping basket, and that's where it stayed. No, it's not an owl or a baby stamp after all.. it's woodgrain {licking lips, thinking of all the wonderful cards and scrappin I can do with this stamp!} It is actually a big circle of woodgrain and it just fits inside my Giga Scallop punch from Marvy so it's a match made in heaven. Check out the cool cards I made with it when I got home! I stamped it in Chocolate Chip on Kraft, and I think it turned out fabulously! That's the eventful part- upon making it home at 2:30pm, I made 3 cards and am currently baking a dairy free, egg free, nut free cake for Felicity (we'll see how that turns out- it currently smells pretty good though!!)
Check out the paper on this third card... I think it may have been one of the first papers I ever bought. That makes it about 9 years old! Oh my gosh!! Get rid of it!! Why on earth do I still have it! Lol. It's so amazing to think I have had some supplies for that long! Oh yeah, there is a spanner in the works for my New Year's Resolution. I just found 11 more papers I bought in the after Christmas Sales at Spotlight and RJ's in Wollongong. D'oh! This means instead of being 6 papers down with 48 to go, I am actually 5 papers up. Crap on a stick! Oh yeah, the scallop square punch is from Stampin Up's Summer Mini and the Thank You stamp that fits inside it is from a set in the Summer Mini called "Say it with Scallops." Already quite well used by me!
Hope you're doing something interesting for your Saturday night!!
