Where has this week gone? I cannot believe that tomorrow is already Friday! Whew.... my mom always told me that the older I got, the faster the days would go. I think she was right :)
I delivered water samples to the lab for DH today (3 hours round trip), had lunch with Shirley, and got a few groceries in. Then, I came home and played with purple paper! What did you do for fun today?
Today's card is for the Purple Challenge at Impression Obsession's Blog. I used an Impression-Obsession sentiment, "Peaceful Season Wishes".
Sadly, I have a very limited supply of I-O stamps, so you will find me using the same stamps over and over! Tim Holtz Dusty Concord Distress Ink was used to stamp the sentiment. The snowflakes are punched with a punch I have had for years, and there is no manufacturer's name on it. The center of the snowflakes have one of those little sparkly snowballs - sorry, don't know who makes them either!
The weekend is just around the corner - hope that you have something fun planned. I'm pretty sure that our weekend will include B*A*S*E*B*A*L*L - Go Cardinal's!!!!! (So sorry Ranger fans, I do love my Redbirds, and you simply have to love our Rally Squirrel!
Now for some CANDY!
A few weeks ago, this issue of Scrap & Stamp Arts magazine came out. I was lucky enough to have a tag in it. I subscribe to the magazine already, and S&SA sent me a copy for having something in the magazine. I now have two copies!
I'd love to send a copy to someone that doesn't have one! Please leave a comment here on this post. No rules or regulations - just tell me that you would like to win! On Sunday, October 23rd, "Random dot someone" will draw for a winner!
Have a good weekend - Hugs and blessings...Patti J.

I'd love to win your magazine, since I don't get it. Then I could look up your tag! My neighbor would go insane over your card, she is a purple fanatic. The Christmas card that I make for her is ALWAYS purple!

I'd love to win your magazine, since I don't get it. My neighbor would go insane over your card, both she and her hubby are purple fanatics! Every card I ever make for her has to have purple on it someplace.
