Hey Y’all & Happy Thursday! LOL…oh I have so much fun coming up with blog titles…they make me laugh. Yeah it doesn’t take much to make me laugh…as my daughter tells me that I’m a BIG DORK regularly, but I’m a-ok with that KWIM! This is why I mainly only watching comedies and action type movies…I don’t like to cry or be scared to death…I mean what’s the point? I’ve had death in my life, I’ve been very sick and have had friends/family that were very or are sick, I’ve been very scared at certain points/times in my life….I don’t need to relive or rehash any of that stuff or give myself worse nightmares then I already have. Seriously I do not get my “noodles” by watching scary stuff or crying buckets of tears…real life is hard enough me thinks so I prefer to be entertained and laugh when I watch a show. I like to laugh, I like to be happy….so shoot me…like I said who wants to be down in the dumps watching a sad movie….NOT ME LOL! So you won’t catch me in any of those type of movies…I haven’t seen a horror movie since I was in my early 20’s. And then it was only under duress hahahaha. I was a huge scaredy cat long ago…I’m not as much anymore but I do think I’m cautious. I look behind a shower curtain when I enter a bathroom…just in case…you never know who or what may be lurking there…and I don’t want to be sittin’ on the toilette finding out if you get my drift (thank goodness my shower is all glass heehee).
And yes I check under my bed at night when I enter my bedroom…my bed sits up high so a whole freakin’ army of psychos could be hiding out under there!! I have certain “security” items within arms reach of my bed while I’m sleeping…hey with the way my family sleeps soundly I will be the only person hearing noises and protecting all of us….I’m just sayin’! And yes my cats sometimes set off our security alarm and YES my hubby has slept thru it..oy vey…I’ve had to slap him silly to wake him up and then DEMANDED that he go check the house, closets and doors…yes, yes I really do! I have to have total darkness when I sleep too cuz if I see weird shadows dancing around it freaks me out…and don’t get me started on the lovely ghost I have that likes to taunt me. Last time I talked about it I had ghost busters emailing me and wanting to come visit for an exorcism LMAO! But I am able to stay in the house by myself, I’m not scared at night and I do travel mostly by myself…so I have overcome a lot of my “issues” truuuust me! But I have taught Alexa to be cautious too…you have to these days cuz as a woman you just never know. Park in well-lit areas, check under car and have keys ready upon approach, be aware of your surroundings and odd things…this one I’m on 24/7 especially when I travel. I always ask for 2 hotel keys and say my hubby is checking in later, if there is a man on my elevator I choose a diffferent floor then get back on after he’s gone and go to my floor. And I always park a chair in front of my hotel door before I go to sleep…yeah I hear y’all laughing…but I’m ok with it…you have to watch out for yourself out there, trust me I’ve seen some crazy stuff so I know what goes on. And I’ll end with this…cuz I know it will make Pat & Tina laugh…..”I do know how to kill a 300 lb man in 3 secs flat…yes I do” and that is very true…so do NOT cross me…hahahahaha!

Today I’m sharing a card that will go down as one of my faves…why you ask? Well I have a slight obsession with cows, roosters & penguins LOL! I have a few of each…now I don’t go overboard with hundreds but I do have some in my house in different places. And how can you not resist this cute cow from Magnolia-licious called “Little Miss Muu Muu”…awwwww she’s adorable huh? (makes me want to go vegan again…well…almost…lol…but let’s pretend she’s a dairy cow ok) I like to think of this card as country feminine fun
This Miss Muu Muu got colored up with Copics: E49,E44,E43,E41 / R11 / V04,V000/ YR23,Y11/ and lots of greens LOL. I added Diamond Glaze to her hooves and horns…Stickles to the flowers and grass for sparkle.
Absolutely adorable! I adore cows and my mom has a whole collection of roosters and chickens. Was so good to chat this afternoon. I've so missed you!

She is a very cute cow, sounds like you have a busy small holding there with quite an extended family. thank you for sharing with us at Craft-Room challenge XOXO Zoe
ReplyDeleteGreat card. Since I have both of those stamps I may just give this a try with my own spin of course. Hope all is well with you. And I agree that you can never be too careful especially when traveling. Last time I traveled I kept watching the cars behind me- it seemed that some had been following for quite a while. I always look for a well-lit business that is open or where the nearest police station is just in case. I guess I watch too many police type dramas on tv.
ReplyDeleteLove your card. Since I have both those stamps I may just ink them up and give them a try- with my own spin of course. Hope all is well and I understand your caution especially when traveling. Think I've watched too many police- type dramas on tv. Lol
ReplyDeleteToo cute Suzanne. I gotta get me some.
ReplyDeleteOh Suzanne, you always make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI used to look under the bed too. I now have one low to the ground. Only a snake could get under there.
I am a cow lover being a farm girl long ago. Miss Muu Muu is gorgeous. I love how you colored her and will use it as a guide to color mine.
Super design as always.
Hugs Maz
Totally love this cow, too!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute Suzanne! And a couple of years ago I would have been totally with you on not watching scary stuff, but for some reason now I'm really enjoying shows like "Walking Dead' and "Grimm"
ReplyDeleteLittle Miss Muu Muu is adorable and those embellies are awesome with her. Just the right amount of cheeriness.

I love this cow too, your is awesome, I am glad you masked it that way as I was trying to do it the other way and failed. I love them together but I do not mask often either. You did a perfect job with it. Your Muu Muu is adorable and so sweet, love her.
ReplyDeleteThank you for making the comment about sad movies....my friends tease me because I avoid of sad movies/books/music/etc. I have noticed that as I have gotten older and lost people I love...the sad movies seem to hit me harder and really make me blue. I like to keep upbeat and so I avoid those things. Who needs to be sad?! Life already has its trials! :-)
ReplyDeletehi Suzanne, i saw your blog and i loved it, i become your follower, hope to see mutch more of your lovely creaitons xx from Maris
ReplyDeleteHey Suzanne! It seems like ages since I've stopped by for a visit. Your work is amazing, as always!! I still remember coming to your house for my first Copic lesson...and you told me I could learn how to do this! I tell ya, I think about that so often! Thanks for giving me the boost of confidence I needed to keep going!! You rock! Your card is just precious...what else is there to say but "stunning"! Thanks so much for joining us this week at Sassy Cheryl's! Hugs. Pat Frank
