Hey, y'all!
You know what yesterday was?!
Yesterday was the last day of the summer holidays! My little angel is off to school today, and I am thrilled!!!
I love my child, I really do, but I think we could both use a break from one another - we've been together 24/7 - NOT an exaggeration - since mid-May. One of us needs to get out more, and it might as well be her since she doesn't have a job or anything.
Here's an early Halloween card I made. I really like these Unity stamps and the Cosmo Cricket chipboard ghost. I'm a little confused about what's going on with this line. It's called Matilda, but they apparently decided to drop it at the last minute. Which is really too bad as it looks like it had some real potential.
Enjoy and thanks for looking!
SUPPLIES
Stamps: Unity; Inks: Memento, Ranger Distress; Other: American Crafts ribbon, gems, Cosmo Cricket chipboard ghost, Junkitz button
Tee Hee.... that's for the cute card and your thoughts on Gigi.... I used to be so glad when the summer holidays were over as by the end of 6 weeks I was just about insane... still as they got older and I was able to send them to the holiday programme ( 9 - 3 each day) it got better.... Enjoy the apart time and have a special together time!

Thanks, all for the kind comments! We're on Day Four of this being a Gigi-free zone, and I must say it's very peaceful....
