Don't Be a Blue Beary

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend, and for those celebrating the 4th, I hope it was an extra special holiday weekend!  Well, now it's Monday and the start of a busy week for us.  We have company arriving Friday and my craft room, AKA guestroom, looks like a tornado hit it.  Yikes!  The bed is covered in paper, images, boxes, etc., etc., etc.  And my desktop...well...let's just say very few Copics are at present tucked away in their drawer, lol.  Let the cleaning commence!  Lol, yeah right.  Per usual, I'll be scrambling on Thursday night to shove stuff in baskets and cubbies, and begging dear hubby to vacuum for me since I ran out of time.  Anyone else out there find crafting so much more enjoyable than cleaning, and procrastinating until the last second? (Yes, rhetorical question, lol)

So that's enough about my character flaws for one post.  On to today's card!  As you know if you've been reading my blog, my stepfather passed away recently.  Mom is doing her best to cope with her loss, and naturally some days are better than others.  When I came across this image from Scrap Happy Paper Crafter entitled Don't Be a Blue Beary, it made me giggle, and I knew I had to make a "Have a Happy Day!" card for my mother.


P.S.  Yes, the card did make my mother smile!

  3. Very cute! Lovely thought too as we all need a smile :)
    I use my guest room as my craft room so I completely understand!! The bed is just a large storage area!

  4. I've become an awful housekeeper once I took up copics and crafting! Love the blues you've used and the paper is fantastic.
