I had my last shopping hoopla today. Last one before I start boycotting stores altogether on account of the sheer madness. Because the weather cooperated, I was able to go out of the city limits to shop, so that was exciting. After narrowly escaping the accidental joining of a funeral procession (how embarrassing if I would have had to break away from the line of traffic to go to the first store!), I enjoyed a long and crazy - yet successful - day of shopping.
The sales were out in full force today and I came home with not only the last of the gifts and a new supply of work socks, but a number of couldn't-pass-em-up clothes.
For my festive daily celebration, I went to my friend Sarah's house. She cooked a very yummy dinner and we watched The Holiday. I'd not seen it before, but I loved it. It might have to go on the must-own list. I wanted to stay and chat, but we were supposed to start getting ice, and I was too far away from home (anywhere outside my garage is too far away from home in ice) for my comfort, so I left and tried to beat the weather!
So now I need to go sort the purchases and the receipts - but I leave you with this photo. Sorry that it's fuzzy, but do you have any idea how hard it is to hold down a cat and take a picture at the same time? During one of my Christmas card stamping fests, Braeya batted the red ink pad with her paw every time I dabbed the saran wrap wad in the ink. By the end of the stack of cards, she looked like she was bleeding. She took a bath, but for several days after, I saw traces of pink on her paw.

You ink saran wrap??? Boy, things have changed since my brief, but long-ago, stamping days.
Oh it's a very fun technique to make a background on a card. You rip off a section of saran wrap, wad it up, dab it in the ink, and then stamp it all over your paper. It makes an interesting look. When I do a huge set of cards, I make them in stages. I fold them all and then I stamp all the backgrounds...etc. It goes faster than trying to do each one start to finish separately. Braeya joined me on the background stamping part - hence the red paw.
