It is snowing big fat fluffy flakes here in Oklahoma today! It is 34 deg F out there right now so they aren't sticking but it is nice seeing moisture of any sort falling on this parched ground. The mandatory water conservation is in effect and I heard yesterday that the lake water level is down 8-9 feet from what it should be and if we don't get rain soon it is going to be bad this summer. Last year we hardly had any rain at all and the lake was down so people are now talking like it is pre-dust bowl days again. I hope it doesn't get that bad but it is looking grim.
Hooray it is Wednesday again and two things are making me happy today. Number one is my DH has been speaking at a seminar in Montreal this week and he will be coming home today. Number two is it is Wednesday and time for WOYWW!! Happy day! Say you can understand the DH coming home but what the hay is WOYWW! Well check it out at
Stamping Ground (upper left corner) and Julia will fill you on the amazing thing that is WOYWW!
This is my desk this week...bare except for a few stamps from Tim Holtz and die/stamps from Heartfelt Stamps I bought. I got a Stampin' Up! order in late last week and there is some ribbon to the right that is in the
Clearance Rack for next to nothing. I bought 3 rolls of the pink it was on sale so cheap I couldn't pass it up! ($1.39 for the whole 5 yard roll) Go check out the
Clearance Rack for some awesome steals!

| Skitty decided she had to help with the photo shoot of the desk and jumped up to see what I was up to! |
 |
| Not many people can say they have a cat with Texas on their side! Skitty got the name Skidmark from my DH when he noticed she had a black hair trail across her private bits and up her tail. Just like a man to misname a beautiful girl such as she so I call her Skitty cause she is so skittish!! |
I have been busy this week but don't have much to show for it. I saw a
set of stamps on another bloggers desk last week that I just couldn't
live without so I went online an ordered them and they came this
morning! I had never heard of Heartfelt Stamps before and these were
just the awesome goodness I was looking for to make some cards to sell
in a friends shop!
 |
| Awesome stamps and dies. IN the picture above you can see the Tim Holtz stamps that came this week too! |
I also received 3 more UnBirthday gifts in the mail this past week! WOW people are really giving me some nice things!
 |
| From Marcia a paper pack she made up with lots of ribbons, a post it note holder and card she made, a Glitz paper pad, some pearls and butterfly bling and some flowers. |
 |
| This gift came from Sandi and she made the tote bag and card and sent me some awesome stamps, ribbon, and embossed cardstock packet on the right. |
 |
| The third gift came from Sue and it is a new set of SU button stamps that I don't own...now how she knew that I don't know but I have been wanting these! Sue made a slider card and a beautiful pin brooch. |

I know!!! I am one of the luckiest people in the world!
Hope you have a fantastic week and I will go find a cup of tea and a few cookies and sit down for a hop around the blogs and have a good snoop!
Very cool unbirthday gifts. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLots of fun stuff!! I like the stamps and die cuts? of the old wagon and country like things. Weather wise, we can have 45 today it is like a roller coaster ride.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week and Happy WOYWW
You really are one lucky lass!
ReplyDeleteI love Skitty! And how clever to have Texas in her fur-design too :) They should pay her for being a mascot.
Typical man to rename such a cute kitty - my hubby does the same with our cats too.
Have a wonderful WOYWW!

Hi Vickie, hope you get some rain soon, or it sounds like you may be in for a tough summer. Look at all those goodies - have you declared an official 'unbirthday'? Do you think it would work for me LOL? I really like the brooch, that is so pretty. Have a good WOYWW, Cindy

ReplyDeleteI love the pics of Skitty and it really looks like you spread catnip around the way he's mooching around.

You received some wonderful gifts indeed! I smiled about your kitty and the name your husband gave her... ha! Enjoy your week! Love from Holland, Marit #89
ReplyDeleteLucky you to receive such gifts! Snow! Yuck, don't like it but thankfully we have rain, though it's cold so a few big fat wet flakes do fall! Hope your lovely cat doesn't get in the way when you're inking or painting! Enjoy your week, take care Zo xx 93
ReplyDeleteSkitty is so pretty! Love the name Skidmark, too. I like unusual names for pets. My girls are T and Baby Roo. Aren't you the lucky one! Look at all the new goodies. You'll love Heartfelt Creations! And TH too! Do we wish you a happy birthday? (Early or am I late?) Happy WOYWW! Nan 5

Skitty is very unusual! Love all the markings. It's always nice to have someone to help make sure everything is well placed for a photo shoot!
ReplyDeleteIt's snowing big fat flakes here too now but we've had more than our fair share of moisture in the last 12 months in the UK so how about we send some to you instead and we'll have the sunshine!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have some absolutely lovely gifts there, people are so generous aren't they. Have fun exploring it all.
Happy WOYWW
Hugs Lisax #66
What a lot of lovely presents you have got there! I was thinking maybe we could post over some rain to you - we are having far too much of it as usual and eveywhere is underwater!
ReplyDeleteBernice #67
Been snowing here as well Vicki , also had some on Sunday. It's supposed to all turn to rain later.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely gifts you have received you will have so much fun with those. Lovely markings on Skitty!
Anne x #134
Love that Skitty has Texas on her side!! What wonderful friends you have that send you such beautiful stash!!
ReplyDeleteKrisha #133 SO. CA need rain and snow too, or it will be a BAD summer for the almonds and cotton.
Gorgeous pussycat! Did you know that all tortoiseshell & whites are female? So many lovely gifts, and we are just getting a bit more snow here. You know us Brits- two snowflakes land on top of each other, and the whole country panics, lol. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #129 xx
ReplyDeleteVickie, you are getting quite a stash of new goodies to play with! Love Skitty, she is so pretty and just like a man to think of that name...lol I wish I could send y'all some rain cause we are getting it AGAIN today. I think we are getting your share of it! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and say hi, it's always appreciated! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Vickie! I haven't heard from you in weeks. Happy belated Unbirthday!! You are a very lucky lady indeed, such beautiful gifts!!
ReplyDeleteI am keeping this post up on my computer so I can show my husband Skitty's Texas mark in her fur! How cool is that! She really is very pretty!!

Hello, Vickie, we have a beautiful sunny day here in Dallas. But you've got lots goodies to play with in a snowing day. Love the Skitty's Texas mark. It looks awesome!! ^_^
ReplyDeleteWe seem to have al your moisture. The ground over here is so full of water that there is just nowhere for it to go. Even the lightest rain shower is causing floods. Our garden has no grass left, just a morass of mud. On the cheerful side, you seem to have a lot of lovely goodies to play with. Thank you for your visit today. I am quite cuffed as I have now stamped all the wooden stamps, so they can be cross referenced and then put away. Have a great week. xx Maggie #8
ReplyDeleteHello Vickie, wonderful gifts.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cat, very cute.
Sorry about your weather. Here in Glasgow it snowed in the night and this morning. Rain this afternoon washed it away.
You can have some of our rain if you want -we have spare!
Happy WOYWW

happy unbirthday LOL! You naughty girl, I clicked over to the clearance rack (I do NOT need anything but...) great desk, lots of new goodies too! Happy WOYWW! Lindsay #109
ReplyDeleteSorry to be late popping over to your desk but I was struck down with the dreaded lurgy yesterday and really quite poorly. Gorgeous gifts there and what a cheeky pussy cat! Thanks for visiting me and cheering me up BJ #36
ReplyDeleteSo many nice new things to play with, you really are a lucky girl.It is very hot over here, but we have been getting a lot of rain, which is great, but the rain comes with dreadful thunder storms. 9 kids were struck by lightning on a school cricket pitch yesterday, so sad. Some of them will be OK, but 2 remain in ICU. Seems like the weather is going mad everyehere.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW!

Your cat is way cute.....how do you feel being from Oklahoma that the poor thing is touting Texas? too funny. So many fun things you have to play with now!! Isn't it great? Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!! Have a great week...and hope you get some water soon.
ReplyDeletesara j #52
Great gifts for your unbirthday, Vickie, and lots of goodies to play with! I love how Skitty has a giant black "x marks the spot" on her side!
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by the Playhouse earlier. I'm still making my way along. Enjoy til I see you again! Darnell #46
Aww Vicki, our furry friends really are good companions when we’re crafting aren’t they. Although I wasn’t very happy yesterday when Bo decided to trample all over the paper I was using with his muddy feet. Luckily it was face down and he didn’t do too much damage…..guess he just wanted to help.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have lots of lovely new goodies to play with thanks to some generous friends, so have fun.
Thanks for stopping by this week.
Happy Crafting!

Hi Vicki, sorry i'm late getting to you , life just took over like it does.
ReplyDeleteThe stamps look great & i think the Pumpkin will look lovely when stamped & coloured.
Have a great weekend , Jill #45
Hey, a Skitty Kitty!! I love her markings. Great desk loads of new stuff, hope you had time to play. The Great Lakes are also significantly down in water, there are some historic lows being recorded too, so I hope we all have a wetter year this year. Wouldn't it be nice if it rained two or three times a week between midnight and 6am!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
