Crazy Week...

I apologize once again...it has just been a crazy week that culminated yesterday with hospitalizing Junior the cat. Starting out the day yesterday, I thought that we were going to be putting him to sleep if he didn't die before we got him to the vet.

We have been working on some medical issues with him ever since Ben left. Then when we kenneled him while I went to Texas, he picked up a respiratory infection and that has certainly not helped anything. But after 24 hours on IV and antibiotics, it looks like things are going better. Combine that with the fact that I had a "light-bulb" epiphany this morning after talking to the vet about his other issues, I think that we may have him on the road to recovery and psychological well-being (as well as a cat can get psychologically anyway...)

So now I can get back to concentrating on my business around here that needs to be taken care of...

First things first! Here is this week's giveaway set from Unity Stamp Company:

Isn't that a fun set?!?! I love it! You can see some super-cute samples made using it on Jen's blog. Don't forget to go comment on the Unity blog for your chance to win!!! And while you are there, be sure to order the handles. You can pre-order them now so that you will be all ready to go when the stamps start flowing into the stores.

I have been playing around with my stamps the last few days. Here are some samples using the Blissful Bride and Groom kit. One of the things that I love to do when I am making samples is to create things that you normally wouldn't consider when you look at them... so for this set, I created a couple of non-wedding items.

This is my little daily-list notebook for May/June. I just love that bouquet stamp esp. for this time of the year!
