Bye Bye Summer Vacation...


Bye Bye Summer Vacation...The kids are back to school tommorrow. WOW! Is it me or is this year just going too fast. This weekend I went shopping for my little girl's birthday coming up on Thursday and I already saw some Christmas out! Now that's too much!!!

Isn't Farewell Tilda the cutest?! She was a prize winning for a Nautical hop challenge over at Magnolia-licious Highlites, last month. I was sooo excited to win! Diana from Magnolia-licious shop sent her to me along with Travel Tilda. I hope to ink her up real soon. Farewell Tilda is colored in distress inks and I followed the Mojo Monday sketch. What do you think?

AND this is Percy. He is named after the Percy Jackson books. It was what I was reading at the time the girls and I found him. We found him in the ditch under my parents drive way alone, with no momma in sight. He could barely walk, he was so new. I couldn't leave him there in case momma came back. That day and the next day we had record breaking heat he would've have never survived. Just like a newborn I bottle fed him and spoiled him rotten and now he's the big boy of the house.

My sister gave new a small sewing craft machine. I had been asking for one forever! It's less intimidating than a regular sewing machine. I got to open my birthday present early and Percy took over the box!

Challenges:

Mojo Monday: Sketch

Stampin for the Weekend: Anything goes

Magnolia Stamp Lovers: Turquoise and Brown

Bunny Zoes Crafts: Vintage

Thanks for stopping by,
