Toy's Haven

   Gooooood Morning!

I did it again!!   My 2nd night of sleeping more than 7 hours straight  without interruption.   I didn’t even have to get up to pee! LOL   I’m tellin’ ya, it feels sooooooo good.   I am thanking God right now.

Today’s Color Challenge was a toughie… (Basic Black, Very Vanilla and Sahara Sand).   I have never owned Sahara Sand.   It was suggested that we could use Kraft in it’s place.  Guess what?   No Kraft either!   So I really had to get crafty.   I took the back off one of my paper stacks and used that……voila! Kraft!   It works 🙂

I received a little care package from Kim at My Favorite Things, yesterday.   I could not wait to ink up these adorable babies.   I e-mailed back and forth with her and got her permission to “Sneak Peek”  this set, as I am not officially on the team.   This new set, Snow Bunny, is being released  tomorrow night!   It is sooooooo cute!!

I have some news I would like to share with you.   Yesterday, I received a call from my dermatologist.   The spot they removed from my arm has ‘irregular’ cells….. pre-cancerous.   Looks like we caught it just in time.   I go back today to have the spot scraped to the bone.   It is going to be painful for awhile, but I will NOT give up my craft.   I will be on pain medication until it heals, which we are talking about weeks, not months or anything.    If it gets too bad, I will enlist my aunt Marci to stamp images for me so I can color and put stuff together.  No worries, but I thought ya’ll would like to know..

   Another MFTeaser for you 🙂

I tell you, the new My Favorite Things sets coming out tomorrow are way too cute for words!   This one, called Isabelle’s Paper dolls, is packed with fun images that work like paperdolls.   I don’t know about you, but I loved playing with paperdolls when I was a little girl, and evidently, I still do!

I stamped the images, colored them with copics, then pieced them together.   Her tailfin and top are covered in stickles to make them shine…. and I even gave her a little pearl belly button :).   Isn’t she adorable?!   

I am sending this off to my cousin who just left after the holiday.   Her hubby assured me he would bring her back this summer for a longer, less stressful, visit.   So, this is for you, Monica!
