Mmmmm...for me, this "situation" usually involves rocky road. Today we celebrate one of my favorite Stampers of all time, Pat Rose (Kokirose) as Queen for the Day! Pat & I had been online buddies for a few years, and the first time I met her IRL, was like I had known her my entire life! Our "drive by" visit, turned into seven hours of visiting, hugging, and stamping. Pat taught me how to use my sewing machine, and to this day, my heart warms & I smile to think of her at my machine!
Today, I cased You're Tweet, and used the beautiful "Kokirose Wandering Stitch" to frame this sweet House Mouse (also a fav of Kokirose). His cone is covered in MS Chunky Glitter, and his eye has a smidgen of Crystal Effects to make it shine (the first sign of a food coma, ya know, glassy eyes!)
This card is a belated birthday greeting to a sweet friend, Lesley (Marleygo), who celebrated her birthday last Sunday. Sister, you know a Slacker card is full of love, right? The Twisted Sister challenge from two weeks ago was to make a child's birthday card, in the "out-of-the-box" format, and the TSC this week is to make a birthday card, focusing on ice cream and cake! Yum! Hope your birthday was the best! (And I promise to mail this by Christmas, really!)
Pat Rose, enjoy your reign as Queen and thank you so much for the talent and encouragement you share in this place. I love you dearly! (Mean it!) Hugs x2

Oh, I loved reading your story about this. How neat to hear about two "Pats" who are both so creative. I LOVE her wandering stitch that she taught you. I put links to three of Pat's cards in a thread I started in the Forum section. It's about what people do with the INSIDE of their cards. I just knew that I loved her cards and her pictures often show a hint of what is inside. Love your House Mouse image. I dare anyone NOT to smile or chuckle when they see one.
