Catching up …..

Hello Friends, I hope you had a wonderful Easter or Passover and some good weather too.
Hello Friend
I wish I could say that I have been busy in the kitchen cooking up some yummy goodies.

Hello Friend
I finally had some time to color during our spring break and tonight I was determined to sit and finish a card for my sanity! It has been a log two weeks & I am so behind on emails. Cleaning, more cleaning and  more organizing is what has been occupying all of my time. Please accept my apologies if I oew you an email I promise to catch up in the next two days. 

Hello Friend

This digipaper from Jen Martakis was the perfect “wallpaper” for my little kitchen scene. I added some chocolate frosting to the inside of the bowl & drew some eyelashes on her eyes. Mimi’s hair is is that new look where half of your hair on the bottom is blonder. I will list the supplies below.
By the way….have you seen the new Penny Black ” Touch of Wimsey” catalog. You can download it here.  Have a great week and thanks for your patience! Hugs, Kathy

    Kathy, this is absolutely gorgeous. Making a cute card like this is SO much nicer than cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning, isn’t it?! I love the daisy wallpaper, and of course your masterful colouring; totally adorable card!!

    Love the shading on her hat & those eggs. Thanks for link to new catalogue – looks amazing & I can see some of you handiwork too. Cleaning & organizing certainly involves lots of time – hope you’ve had a good Easter too.

    Love this darling card! The colors are so sunny and happy – it does make me remember making cookies with my little ones long ago! And even more nostalgic – we had daisy wallpaper in our kitchen then. Thank you for sharing this sweet card and your wonderful coloring skills and ideas.

    Kathy, it’s ADORABLE and your coloring is impeccable as always. Mimi is so cute, she is sure to make anyone smile. I love that! Its so funny, I have more PB stamps than I thought I did, several that are wood mounted that I’ve had for a while and just chose because I liked them. Only to realize who the artist was when I had to start organizing. LOL My daughter got me a couple of clear sets, Hugs and a birthday set. Now I want the Paris ones and some Mimi’s!!

    Kathy,
    Im a bit behind myself here, but had to leave you a note letting you know that your Mimi card is so adorable!! It reminds me of my niece when when she was little and loved to bake. She used to say she was going to be a “Cooker” (meaning Baker..lol) when she grew up! Great card, I love your coloring and the bright colors!
    *Hugs*
