"My Valentine"

Hi Peeps. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend and had time to craft. Today was "Football Sunday" again at our house. OMG, if you could hear all the noise my hubby and sons made your eyes would probably pop. LOL, they get SOOOOO INVOLVED. Sometimes I think it's more fun watching / listening to them than the game.

Thank you for your comments and prayers regarding our eldest son who caught a nasty "bug" the other week. He'll just fine now. Ohhh, but when he came over today, he showed me his hands and I could see where the "blisters" were as the skin was peeled off. Yikes!!! Thank goodness they're just about healed.

Last night I started on this card and oh boy, I was sure spinning my wheels on this one. After trying this and that, this and that, over and over again, I FINALLY put it together. I think my mojo was in outer space.

I showed it to my son today and he said he wants to give it to his girlfriend especially since they have 2 cats. He asked that I color "Eli" (male) gray with stripes and "Ripley" (female) brown with stripes. I asked him to look for a "love" sentiment on the web so I could print and apply it on the inside.

Yay, Lollipop Crafts is back with Challenge #62-Anything New Goes. I'm entering this card with the two cutie cats which is "new" stamp I got recently. Click here for the deets.

New Year's Eve, I cooked and cooked, and cooked. And I can't believe I made cone sushi for the first time. I had lunch with my friend Faye the day after Christmas and she gave me some that she made. Ohhhhhh, they were sooooo delicious, I had to ask for the recipe. OMG, talk about "labor of love." This recipe is very time-consuming BUT worth every bite. Nowadays, cone sushi doesn't have much added to the rice as when I was a kid. This has a LOT of stuff inside.
Here's a pix. Are you craving some sushi now?


Thanks for popping in for a visit. Hope you all have a WONDERFUL and crafty week.
