Mmmm......Chocolate!

Well, good morning! Hope that you all survived your weekend.


I have to begin by apologizing for not commenting on your blogs this weekend. Believe me, I was there! I saw, I squealed, and I loved your creations!


However, since Friday, I've been in a recliner with a propped up foot, ice bag, etc. Not sure what I did, but I couldn't bear any weight, walking was difficult, and the swelling was terrible. Even had to resort to crutches on Friday night! Long story short, I could use only the laptop, and that old thing will NOT let me leave comments! So, I'm going to try to be back on the desktop for at least a bit today!!!


Mmmmmm.....Chocolate! At least one has to assume that chocolate is what this darling Baking Bear Digi from Clear Dollar Stamps is whipping up for us this morning! Is this not the sweetest image? This cutie patootie is one of the new releases for June at CDS. If you haven't been over there yet, hop over and check out their store - the new and older releases are all so much fun! This set actually has the images, sentiments, and designer papers all in one very low price!



I'm going to enter this in the sketch challenge at Sketches by Carly. You still have three days to enter, so grab this fun sketch and get creative!!!



Now, I promised some "Itty Bitty Blog Candy" over the weekend, and that didn't happen either due to my gracefulness (or lack of)! So....here's what I'm going to do - TWO of you will win something! Remember this is "Itty Bitty Blog Candy", so don't quit your jobs or count on retiring on your winnings...lol...


No rules - just leave a comment here on this post and tell me something fun about yourself! Example: Before I check out of this world, I want to zip line and sky dive!


OH! AND...I'm going to a U2 concert on July 17th!!!!! OMG!!! DS bought tickets for me and DD to go and I'm so excited!


As always, you certainly don't have to become a follower - if you're following, I want it to be because you want to be here! But if you ARE a follower, you will get two entries! Winner will be chosen via random DH drawing on Wednesday night, and will be posted on Thursday a.m.


Have a great Monday!
Hugs and blessings,
Patti J.

Food for thought: No matter how stressful, any day that you spend above ground is a good one!!!

Patti so sorry to hear about your foot, possible stress fracture? I hear they are very painful and not a lot you can do about it. Doing a lot of spring cleaning that is about 5 years over due during this summer break. Feels good to get it done though.

oh yeah! Love your card. I just ordered a 'few' copics that Kim helped me pick out. We'll have to have a coloring party one day and you can show me some coloring tricks! Feel better!

Lorie said...

Oh no Patti! You be sure to take it easy. I wish I was closer so I could help! Your card is adorable...as usual!

Kristine said...

You crack me up Patti! Love your sense of humor. Although.... darn, I wish you could make me retire already! LOL. Hope your foot is much better today?! Your card is so ADORABLE!! Love the image and love your papers! I love CDS (of course!) and thanks for using Carly's awesome sketch *Ü*

Chelsea said...

I was wondering what happened to you. Take care!

Glittered Paws said...

Awe - how cute is this little fellow. I am going to have to slip over there and check him out - especially now that I have a file all set up and ready to go for Clear Dollar Stamps (LOL). Glad you are feeling better - now not to push things and continue to take it easy.

Sue D said...

Great card--I like the papers you chose.

Many people know I am in the building because of my laugh and I laugh a lot.

That cute little bear has the creamiest, most luscious icing in that bowl, and I bet I could beat you to licking the spoon (sorry about your footie)! LOL! Virtual icing does not have any calories, right? Opossums freak me out! Now ya know.

Auntie Em said...

Hope your foot heals up soon and you are able to get around again. Sounds very painful!

Love your sweet little card. Great image. I wish my teddy bear could cook supper for me once in a while.

Thanks for sharing and take care of yourself!!! :)

Dawnll said...

Oh Patti I hate to hear your not at full form. You need to quit kicking people...lol
Stay off and let it heal...man I hate those crutches. I only lasted 3 days and my arm pits were killing me.
You want to know something fun about me?
I use to work store security and I loved it, wonder if I gave that to my son becoming a police officer...lol
Take care my friend.
blessings to you, Dawn ll

Ok, tell the truth, who'd you kick? lol! Sorry to hear about the foot, sounds painful! OUCH. Let's see, while I swear that I live in the spider capital of the world, I really don't like them!! They, however, are VERY fond of me and the darn things bite!
