Monday sketch, New specials and the rest of the story!

SO I am hopefully feeling better now - my back is better - not 100% but better.  I also got a killer cold last week- head and throat yuckiness.  My theory is I caught at the pumpkin patch because the other chaperon's I rode with had it too this week as well as one of the teachers.  I have pretty much been doing NOTHING!!  Although I did get dug out of a huge mess in my studio - so I can create now - right?  Lets hope so!

First up - our sketch for this beautiful Monday!

The snowflake represents any cut out item - Like a tree or an owl or... Don't you just love that though! It is a Rhonna Farrer brush - from her Little Christmas kit on 2 Peas. LOVE it! Now to find that magical time to USE it! HA!  Well if you get a chance to try out the sketch be sure to come back here and post a linky!  just enter your info in the form below and you will be linked for life! 

SO I am preparing for CROP CAMP!!!  I leave friday early to head south - way south for me!  For a Fun filled 3 day scrapbooking retreat weekend!  with like over 100 of my new bestest friends!  :-)  I am VERY excited and SO looking forward to seeing my friends I met at Cropaganza!  I am teaching some classes, doing a make and take, and hopefully getting some of my own cropping done!  Ya you heard it here first - Heather will be scrapbooking this weekend!  It will require much prep this week though if I am really going to make it happen - so cross your fingers for me girls!

I also have Stamping Night out on Thursday - 2 make and takes and a demo - FREE for my Sensational Six Club members - $3 of you are not in the club.  Did you know you did not have to be local to get in on that fun?  Well you don't - you can e-mail me if you want more info.

TAC also came out with a whole new special just for November:

Give Thanks Get Vintage
 
Be sure to get them while you can and do not miss out on them since they are only good thru November.  How the heck did it get to be November already anyway???

Well I know not everyone is dying to hear the rest of the caterpillar adventures - but if you do then keep reading!

My friend the black fuzzy Caterpillar - is still hanging in there and not wrapped up in a cocoon yet.  You probably guessed by now where he turned up.  In a shoe of course!  The funny thing is that Laney put her shoe ON!  Then put the other one on and was wiggling her foot - so i told her to stand up and walk a few steps. 
And she said "No! There is something in there!"
She slipped off her shoe, and reached in - and yanked her hand back out saying "Ouch!". 
I said "What's wrong Laney?"
"IT'S THE CATERPILLAR!!!" she yelled with much excitement.
I was like "Nah - its not the caterpillar"
"Yes it is it POKED me!"  SO she started shaking her shoe - and my word - out popped that big black furry Caterpillar.
And yes I have been giving him fresh leaves and water sprinkles every few days.  HA!  How in the heck he did not get squished by Laneys foot - and WHY he would crawl into the stinkiest shoe in the house I have no idea!  That girl has stinkier feet than her momma, poor thing! 

Since I wrote this - I have had even more adventures with our furry little friend.  I woke up on the couch one night - and he was trucking down the hall!  I put the bug box in front of him and he stopped in his tracks, then crawled in after a few seconds.  Then the next morning Laney found him AGAIN - in the same shoe as before!  Crazy I know!  I was also sitting reading my bible study book after that - quiet morning after the kids left for school and I kept hearing this noise - what the heck is that noise???  It was Mr Caterpillar eating a nice crunchy leaf!  I KNOW!
