Switchy Witchy...

So if you follow any Stampin Up blogs
or view Pinterest
or any other paper crafting site
you know the Witches Hat clothespin
is all the rage!
 
They are everywhere!
They are ADORABLE!
They are made with SU's new Christmas tree punch,
some circle punches,
black glimmer paper,
their mini clothespins
and their bow builder punch.
WOW!
Quite a shopping list!
 
Unfortunately
this little Lady Liberty
is sick.
Chronic vomiting led to a new diet
(24 cans = $ 75! YIKES!)
and an ultrasound
which has led us to schedule exploratory surgery
and we are praying hard that it's not that "c" word...
The good news is...the new diet is working--NO vomiting!
And so I am praying that whatever was seen on the ultrasound
was just something terribly inflamed that didn't like the old diet.
PLEASE God....not another sick cat-and a baby at that!
 
That said-Momma's crafting budget just can't buy every new thing out there
that I'd like---
so I got to thinking....
my CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge has a Christmas tree...
and  a circle...
WM had the medium mini size clothespins
and hey, black cardstock may not be a pretty as glimmer paper
but we'll go with what I've got-
some Halloween ribbon---


and I have a CTMH witch's treat bag clip
just as cute as SU's! 
And, for the record,
I did order some other SU products
so I don't feel too bad casing their project.
I am going to use the same concept
for some Christmas Santa hat gift clips for the
upcoming craft shows...so stay tuned.
Before that tho,
I have to finish the treat bags for the vets, techs and staff---
we spend a lot of time with them
and they do an awesome job
even when my kids aren't too cooperative
(Lady bit a tech during her ultrasound!)
 
Until next time,
please keep your paws crossed for us
and surgery next week Friday morning...
This little gal has stolen my heart
and acts completely normal!
 
Happy Stamping and scrapping!
Blessings,
