Here’s to you!

Love giraffes!🦒 they have always intrigued me at how tall yet graceful they can be. We have a momma ready to have a baby at our local zoo…everyone is patiently watching. Usually a fun summertime quick visit for our family before school starts.

Used tan cardstock, blue sky paper, giraffe was a diecut, colored with pencils. Added to the front of the CAS card with a sentiment that could be used for any occasion.

PIP POLKADOODLE Challenge 2628

Hello! Happy Monday!!

We here at PIP are glad you have joined us this week! 

We have a great sponsor this week…POLKADOODLE!

Be sure to pop over to their site and grab an image and come play along….YOU could be the lucky winner and end up with more goodies from them. GOOD LUCK,

My image is  an older one from Polkadoodle, but still one of my favorites!  I’ve colored with pencils, used an oval stitched diecut, edged in green to match the striped paper I’ve used for the background. I finished it off with a few tiny gems on the flowers. 

Everyone poops!

Everyone that comes to our house and uses the bathroom ends up with a little chuckle 😂

I created this wall design for my bathroom using a scrap of 1-1/2 “ wood, white washed it. Added sticker letters to create the words.

I purchased the white larger letters PPS. I  purchased the black wire basket and added 3 tools of toilet paper. Then hung it all above the toilet in our bathroom.
