Stop Being Such a Pick-Nitter ...

Happy Tuesday, Craftin' Stampers ... hope you're havin' a fantastical day!

Today's card project was created for my birthday card stash using this cute l'il digital image from Heaven's Gate Designs:

This red and blue color combination is not one of my favorites, but in spite of that, I do seem to be using it a LOT lately ... exactly how does that happen?

I stamped my sentiment and die-cut it with a ribbon label, dry embossed an oval background, die-cut a tree limb and some leaves, and tied my sentiment onto the card using vintage mini rick-rack. Easy-peasy and ready to serve in just 15 Minutes!

For the ginormous view of my card, clicky on the photo ... for all of the heart-pounding product info, check out the Card Recipe, below.

Today I'm at home recovering from a l'il back surgery-thingie so I didn't get to hang out with Sheila yesterday. But, the sweet and spoiled generous Wild-Child just had to call me up to tell me some jokes to cheer me up. For FREE. Capitalism really took a hit with that decision!

Soooooo, since it's all I got, I'm sharin' 'em with you today ... lucky you.

Reid: "What do you call a Nun who walks in her sleep?"
Me: "I give up."
Reid: "A Roamin' Catholic!"

Hahahahaha.

Reid: "What does a dancer like to drink?"
Me: "I give up."
Reid: "Tap water!"

Hahahahahahahahah.

Reid: "Why was the amoeba prison so small?"
Me: "Do you even know what an amoeba IS?"
Reid: "Ummm ... no. But I called you up to tell you my jokes and make you feel better. And YOU know what an amoeba is, dontcha?"
Me: "Welllll ... right, I do."
Reid: "Then stop being such a pick-nitter, Aunty, and say, 'I give up.'"
Me: "I give up."
Reid: "Cuz it only had one cell. {Big sigh} But you ruined my joke ... so now I'm not ever gonna tell you any more jokes, Aunty."
Me: "WoW, now I DO feel better!"

Thanks so much for stopping by today ... I'll be round to all your blogs just as soon as all the meds wear off!

~Hugs,
