More House of Mouse....

This one is a gift for my friend Sue. I challenged her to try a sketch challenge that I sent her the address too. After I finished mine I dropped it in the mail for her even though she lives right here in the same town. It's always fun to get something besides bills in the mail. I just love this little mouse hugging his bird friend. But those little pine needles where a challenge to color they are awfully small. I had to keep sharpening my pencil and I didn't use the blending stump on them. I also got a new flower punch I had to try out. So I put those on the top with the little gem flowers on top. I have a bunch of those jars of flowers and I can never find the color I want to match my project so I'm going to purchase some different flower dies to use. I figure that should fix the problem. And I have a bunch of different die cutting systems so I will probably end up with a bunch. I get a little obsessed with purchasing stuff.
We have had crazy weather the last 3 days. I went to the bank yesterday at 4:30 and the sign said 99*. I had heard one of the patients saying it was 109* at there place that day. CRAZY!! The first day was torture. You can't go from around 50* to over a 100* in a day your just not used to it. But today was alright. Needless to say all the windows in the house are open for any breeze we can bring into the house. And I'm not sleeping in my flannel PJ's.... :)
Well better go get something else made up. Until later...
