Well, I promised that I would stamp today and I did. I just don't have anything to share with you. I did complete one card that turned out so stinkin' cute that I sent it in to one of the magazines for a card contest.
For those of you that do not know how to use your Crop-a-dile, here is a sight that may help you with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwWtcrQc5Ok
I got back from the grocery store just in time today. After the wind, torrential downpour, and hail stopped, I went to my truck to get the rest of my groceries out and put them up. I needed to put some meat in the freezer, which is in the shop/laundry room. I am so glad that I looked down before I entered the laundry room. There was a small (1 1/2') snake right on the other side of the door mat. I backed out and the stare down began. My mind was racing (What kind of snake is he? Where was the hoe? It's in the corner on the other side of him! Oh, c@a$! Don't let him get away....What kind is he? If he goes under the washer, I will never do laundry again! Where is Catherine? She's over by the pond, don't call her. I don't have shoes on! He's going to bite my toe!) I guess he won the stare down. By now my eyes were darting around the yard for something to kill him with. Ah ha! Sonny left the shovel out the other day. I put the meat in my hand on the hood of my truck and ran for the shovel. As I approached him with the shovel he headed under the washer. NO! I almost tore the entire room apart trying to keep him from getting away. Finally, I had his body pinned with the shovel. Now, what the heck am I going to do? I had him pinned, but how long could I hold him. Sure enough, the Calvary showed up.... Sonny pulled up just in time. He came in and killed the snake .... It was a young rattlesnake! It was hard to tell what it was, because it was in the process of molting. I guess all the rain we have had lately has all the animals looking for higher, dryer land. We saw four of the cutiest baby armidillos in the driveway coming in from town.
I'am going to stamp, right now! I hope to see you at Lynnor's tomorrow.
