Do you want to touch my monkeys????

Cosmo Cricket pattern paper

Well, What do you think? Veronica did an awesome job didn't she? I love my little coffee drinking cheeky monkeys!! If you're interested in doing business with her she is awesome to work with...go check out her blinkie down there on the left.
This is cool.....
I got an email from a woman who works for Eckert's who somehow stumbled upon my post here about them on Mother's Day. They are one of our favorite family places to go. It's a big family owned farm where you can pick whatever is in season, have a homecooked meal in their resturaunt (with fried biscuits and homemade applebutter YUMMY), walk around their market, they have their own wine AND everything and pet some goats AND get your Christmas Tree... Anyway, she thanked me for mentioning them and sent me two tickets for free breakfast with Santa AND a $5 gift card for their market! How awesome is that? Free Food!! So if you're ever in the Greater St Louis area go check them out!
Now the news!! To celebrate my new look I'm giving stuff away!!! Starting Saturday Nov 8th (because I have to work thursday and friday and I think by then Rob will be at least walking around) I will be having a giveaway a day for 7 days...That's right 7 days....I have some Unity Stamps on their way to me looking for a new home and a few other things as well...you'll just have to stay tuned and wait and see!!! I'm going to do my best to make it fun and I hope you'll enjoy playing along!!!

Next, the pictures!!
















They must not do a lot of surgeries on Scrapbookers...The Nurse Anesthesist kept shaking his head and laughing at me because I kept snapping pictures. Then he grabbed the camera from me and took one of the two of us. He said in 20 years he never had anyone take pictures. Sorry-- but you're not getting the rear view. Rob doesn't look this happy today. He's pretty miserable, but he's fine! Thanks for all your well wishes!!

I have one more card for you...This one is inspired by Amber's sketch. She gives us a sketch to work with on Monday's over at Splitcoast here. She also just had ankle surgery so stop by her blog and wish her well if you get a chance.

Glad to hear that Rob's surgery went OK, hope his recovery is fast. Enjoyed getting to meet you & look forward to seeing you again when I come back that way, so you'll have to stay in that area a little longer!

I laughed at the title for the blog post, and wondered what monkeys you meant until I clicked on the post. Cute monkeys BTW and a very nice makeover. Cute card. Can't undertsand why Rob didn't want his photo taken of his rear view lol. Wishing him a super speedy recovery. Enjoy those tickets. I am pleased to hear your cocoa has been returned home safe and sound.
