I had my first Stamp a Stack at my home last Saturday. It was so much fun and went really well. Seven ladies came to make cards which I thought was pretty good for the first time! It was a lot of work to get together but I really enjoyed it.
With that out of the way, this week I thought I would catch up on making cards to have on hand. I was getting low on sympathy cards. For this card I used the Refuge and Strength set. I just love this set. It's very versatile. It can be used as a sympathy card, get well, thinking about you, or and Easter card. I love sets like that!
Paper: Not Quite Navy, Very Vanilla, Certainly Celery

Now I need to make some birthday and get well cards! I'm not having any events at the house for the month of December, but will plan another Stamp a Stack for January. Hopefully I will find some fun projects for Valentines Day!
We had a little mishap today. I have 3 little terriers. Rat terriers to be specific. This one is a bow thief.
Right now, inside her tummy are the parts of 16 hemp twine bows. This morning, she removed them from the Christmas cards I made Saturday night. She was very careful about her removal and none of the cards were damaged. She didn't even put a bend in any of them! They had all been on clips and luckily enough, she didn't eat the clips.
I immediately called the vet to see what to do and it's a pretty much wait and see thing. Hopefully, the bows will see the light of day again and my girl will be well. I am hoping the way she chewed them off that they are in short little pieces because some of the clips still have the knots from the bows on them. This would be a better situation than having long pieces of string in her gut.
Why on earth she would want to eat bows I have not a clue! The cards had been inside a box and she somehow got them out. It's an important reminder of how pets can get into things that are not good for them and as crafters we have to be especially careful to keep things out of their reach. It's not easy with her as sometimes she will climb to get to things! She used to love ink pens and would get up on my desk to steal them from me! I am pretty worried about her and praying for the passage of the bows!
