FOUND!
Did you know that a hamster can climb 2 flights of stairs? Neither did I until this evening. I am extremely happy & relieved to report that Pikachu Climber (that’s really what Dylan had named him, who knew how appropriate the last name would be) is back in his (I think it’s a "he") OLD cage – the wire one that I didn’t like because the bedding tended to fall out onto the floor when he pushed it around. However, bedding on the floor is much preferable than hamster on the floor, when given a choice. If only he knew – by escaping, he gave up the funky plastic condo and moved back to the starter wire cage home. (insert victorious/vindictive "HA" here) OK off to get some sleep now!! (Obviously didn’t get much work done tonight…promise to post some creative stuff over the weekend….)
If I’m quiet online for a bit….
It’s because I’m looking for a HAMSTER. Pikachu aka Houdini has escaped from his cage (AGAIN) – some kind of Herculian strength to knock out components of his plastic cage and escape. Last time we found him in minutes of the search starting. This time…….wish us luck. (or should I say wish ME luck). Dylan isn’t horribly broken up about the disappearance….yet. Off again for the search. We have the trail of food out….
Canadian Congrats Card
Just found out that a friend became an "official" Canadian this past week, so we’re celebrating on Saturday. Here’s the card I created to commemorate the event. It fits in SU’s large long envelopes & will hold Tim Horton’s coupons, a fitting Canadian gift, I thought… I used Headline Alpha to create the "Congrats", the maple leaf from the Autumn set, and "eh" is in Brushstroke Alpha. Used the colours of real red & whisper white, of course, and threw in a bit of basic black for contrast. Hodgepodge hardware as a small decorative accent.
It’s a snow day here today! I’ll be spending the AM doing paperwork (the non-fun kind of paperwork) and seeing if I can head out this afternoon to do a couple of visits for my "other" job (physio), when hopefully the ploughs and salters have been able to get a handle on things out there. I figured if it’s bad enough to keep the kids home from school, what the heck am I doing trying to drive around to people’s homes??!!
Keep warm!
snowed in….
Lots of light fluffy stuff dropped onto Burlington today…so our afternoon & evening events were cancelled – Dylan’s piano lesson, my choir practice… Had a good mail day – received my new Paper Crafts & Simple Scrapbooks magazines. I’ve decided I should have a creative mantra (as Ali Edwards advocates!) – she calls it a Personal Creative Manifesto. Mine should be…I will "Just do it" and not just read about it!! I love all the creativity I see in the mags and find it inspiring, but as many of you will know….I haven’t got a lot to show for it. Well, I do have cards etc from classes that I’m doing….but also have a pile of photos just waiting to be scrapped! (Disneyworld, how "scrappable" is that?!) So. I’m going to set aside some time each week to just "play" with all my stamping tools and see what happens!! I’ve put it out into cyberspace, so there it is. Now I’m off to do some creative paper work – have some cards I need to come up with, personally and professionally. I’ll try to post the results later!
