Earlier this month was Squirrel Awareness week…A few former co-workers and I have been celebrating this for a few years now..it actually started off as a joke for one of my friends /co-worker Rita…go here
http://terryspaperpantry.blogspot.com/2008/10/im-baaack.html to see a past celebration and learn more about the story behind why we celebrate…
This year I was actually working with Rita when that time came around on a temporary basis..I was trying to come up with a lunch date with my other 2 cohorts to surprise Rita when she mentioned that she wanted to go to lunch with me before I left. So, she opened the door for me..so the date was set…So, Beth a former co-worker and great friend and Bill (Rita’s and my supervisor) along with his lovely wife Lorrie were already at the restaurant when we walked in…and Rita was totally surprised…Beth and I both had made cards for Rita along with gifts…I had bought mine on our trip to Colorado..it was just something I could not pass up!
I also had bought one for my neighbor who has Squirrels as pets…I will leave that for another story…Here is the card I made..I put my Cricut to good use with this one…I love how it came out too!
We have been doing this for about 4 yrs now and we always manage to surprise her..One of these years she will turn it around on us…
I also been doing some challenges over at
http://simplyscrapping.ning.com/ and here is my latest..our challenge was to use black and white with only one other color..so I chose red to use as my other color..I had dreams about this card..and this really didn’t turn out the same as it did in my dream but I still like it…
It's hard to believe that it's the middle of October...We have had such beautiful weather lately..it's been a little up and down tempature wise ..but still so many days full of beautiful sunshine! We could use some rain but are suppose to get that next week..so another perfect weekend is in store for us...I am not looking forward to winter and the cold temps so I am enjoying all of the warm days we are having now...
That's it for me today...
Thanks for visiting my blog!

totally CUTE cards !!!
Love the simplicity of the ladybird card. but those few colours make a wonderful card
well done.
Squirrels are very sweet creatures we often see them in the trees and grounds of the local park to us. Only the common grey, they do have red squirrels across the water on the Isle of Wight(UK)

TOO funny about the squirrel awareness week! When I was a kid I had two pet squirrels, but now I don't like squirrels too much anymore. Several years ago they chewed a hole in my house, and I've been sort of anti-squirrel ever since. I have a lot of them around my house though - I just made sure to have all the wood on my house covered with aluminum siding stuff to keep them from being able to chew.
Love your ladybug card!
I am giggling my head off!!! That is so funny! I love it!! I will not be able to get the Squirrel Underpants image out of my head...ha ha!!! Love your card! The colors are awesome!!! Sending you squirrel hugs!!!!
Oh what fun cards! Thanks for the comment on my card and sending me your link. I love that there is a Squirrel Awareness Week. Most people chase them away from the bird feeder. LOL.
