House Mouse Monday and a RANT!!!

Afternoon lovely peeps!

Boy what a bloomin' morning I've had, I reorganised my tiny stash space yesterday, which took ages by the way!! so today off I goes to get my new Sugar Nellie Stamp - GONE!! NOT THERE!! LOST!! I have spent most of the morning unorganising the organising ROFL!! (I shouldn't be ROFL but what else can I do) - My NEW stamp has vanished, looks like it ran off after the swirl stamp that also magically disappeared months ago, so down I go to the rubbish bin - yup got the black bag back upstairs and even went through that - NADA, NOWT!! AAAAGH!!

......THEN I spilt a pot of embossing powder over my carpet - the WHOLE pot, but there's more - Peaches ran off with my ribbons I had thrown on the floor in disgust and she knows to run under the bed and to go to the back, honestly I thought I was going to burst a blood vessel, the only option was to turn the hoover on to get her out (she is terrified of it!!) sure enough off she ran leaving the ribbons half chewed...

I need a lie down in a darkened room - BREATHE!!! Sorry RANT OVER!!

I did make a card for House Mouse Challenge though. The theme this week is Neapolitan..

Here are the two wee rascals Mudpie and Muzzy - munching as usual.

Oh dear Dawn, what a stressful morning. I hope your SN stamp turns up. It's a lovely card, I love the flowers.

Oh, what a terrible start you had. Hope the next morgning will be much better.
And ofcourse you will find your stamps ( including the swirl ) and that you still can use the ribbon.
Your card is lovely again.

I know how you feel. I seem to spend more time looking for stuff (and sometimes never finding it) than actually using it. Love these two little mice. That reminds, wasted an hour or so this morning trying to catch a mouse young Leo brought in. He's very good at catching them and very good at letting them go indoors.

Leslie said...

WOW Dawn, you are having a "Help...Calgon take me away"! Kind of days!! Maybe even a...help, Xanax take me away day!! LOL!! I hope your stamps turn up soon. I have gone thru that before as well and it is very frustrating. Your cards turned out beautiful though!! Hugs, Leslie

Hang in there, they will return them eventually! :-)

I saw this card a few weeks back, tried to comment and blogger wouldn't have it. Super cute and thinking that maybe a kitty dragged your stamp off under the bed or something. I have a kitty who likes the crinkly packaging, so that loose acrylic stamp packaging is like a cat magnet, they take off with ribbon spools whenever they get the chance!! Okay, sorry for my babbling, I love those crochet blooms!!
