VISITORS

Well, this is what I came home to yesterday!!! These Little devils were perched atop my neighbour's roof. How cute are these guys?? My daughter wanted to pet the kitties..I said Honey those are not kitties and you can't touch them- they bite!!

So my first thought was --OMG they are probably baking to death out there- hot roof, 100 degree weather, full sun!!!

I called the SPCA and explained there were 2 baby raccoons stuck on a roof. the lady said- they got themselves up there so they will get themselves down. Uh.... OK .....then apparently I have to call pest control and pay to have them removed.

We had a similar situation last year when there were 2 raccoons perched on my fence post.

So long story short, my husband and neighbour climbed up and shooed them into a garbage can with a lid and drove them out to the country. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen..and scary.. I had 911 on standby just in case they got bit or fell off the roof.

Loonie Stampers Challenge #2

Well here we are at challenge #2. This one was mine !!!

My challenge was to use Papertrey Ink colours Berry Sorbet, Sweet Blush, Spring Moss and a chocolate chip colour and NO IMAGE STAMPS!!!!

This is my take on the challenge it was inspired my the adorable dress I bought for Lola- I saw it at Winners and had to have it, I admit is was all due to the PTI colours!!! Jewels created the beautiful colour map which has a piece of the fabric that started this challenge.
My sentiment is from Mixed Messages- all die cuts are done with the Cuttlebug.
