Happy Friday!

Yes, it is. The sun is shining and I do not have to work today so it is definitely pleasing.

My day has started out great. We have owls in our area and one in particular I have been seeing a lot but he/she has been pretty camera shy. Well, this morning it decided to drop by, literally. I was sitting in my chair by the sliding glass door and see something drop. I look out and the owl is on the ground looking around. It then flies up into the tree. I get my camera quietly and sneak back into the living room and it is still there.

I wanted to share this beautiful bird with you, truly amazing!

I just love living in the country!

Enjoy your day!

Anything Goes at SSCC

Hello Friends!
Today it is my turn, Stephanie, to show you my creation for Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central.

My image uses Edwin wants a hug. I took some twine to use for a rope and then cut the Happy Birthday on my Cricut using the Mickey Mouse font cartridge. I colored Edwin with Copics and added some buttons. Have you seen all of the buttons that Stamping Scrapping carries? Wonderful, large selection, be sure to check it out.
Here is a close up of Edwin.
