my weekend & to do list

clean fishtank

empty out beanbag couch and wash covers (ehw)

laundry

clean out closets

organize upstairs

make cute things

whew. i've got a lot to do. yesterday i took rambo to the s.n.i.p. clinic...poor thing got neutered...but he's perfectly fine and acting like his cute little self. we just do not need any more cats running around our land. i also gave all 3 of the older kittens flea baths...that was the first time they've had baths and it was histerical. rambo was the most calm. he just sat in any position you held him in. mojo and sassy were more squirmy and fought me a little bit. no scratches though! i couldn't believe it! far as the little baby kitten, she is having a hard time going number 2...i called the vet and they told me to basically give her an enema...hhmm. that's just what i wanted to do this weekend. so far it is not working so i think i will have to take her in. and i thought of a name...i call her pipsqueek, so she'll be called pippi! isn't that too cute?

since trueblood is over for the season, sunday's don't feel the same...i don't have anything on tv to look forward to watching! boo!

hope your weekend has been great!

a taste of all hallow's eve

when i was home for labor day, my little sister kaitlyn and i had a day to ourselves while mom was at work, spenser was at work and billie was off doing something that teenage girls do. so kate and i went to maggie mo's to get a big ice cream - she picked out vanilla bean and cake batter and got some kind of candy bar mixed in it (i'm getting forgetful in my old age). but let me tell you...the couple of bites i was able to coeherce out of her were ohhh so yummy!

next door to maggie mo's is jo-ann fabrics. i happened to bring a 40% off coupon with me so we quickly ran in to check out their scrapbook section. score! i got the cuuuutest halloween stamp set by tpc studio. this card features the ghost from that set and a couple of sentiments that i paired together! hope you enjoy!

Tiny Little Baby Kitten

today i had a lot of errands to run and things to do. i was on a mission. the first stop, get gasoline!

so as i was filling up i kept hearing a very loooud kitten meow-ing. it was kind of ridiculously loud. then i saw a woman walk back to a row of cars at the car dealership across the road from the gas station. she was looking underneath car no.1 then car no.2 then came to a truck, which she looked in the bed of. then she walked away and came back with one of the salesman, who reached into the truck and took out the little baby kitten.

so. it was a hot day and that poor little baby kitten sounded so scared, hungry and confused that it was breaking my heart. i didnt want it to wonder into the street since the man had taken him out of the truckbed.

long story short the tiny little baby kitten turned out to be a lot smaller than i thought once i actually walked over to get it. it's eyes are closed and the embilical cord was still attached. my hope was that tabby, our mother cat who is still nursing her own kittens (even though they are a little old to be nursing still in my opinion) but tabby wasn't really feeling that. so i went to the store, bought a tiny bottle and kitten formula but the poor thing wont hold still long enough to be fed, and i'm kinda freaking out! he is so squirmy and terrified all around. what a long day...and i'm suppose to do this every 3 hours...oh boy.

raspberry suite color challenge no16

dawn totally rocked an awesome color scheme this week for her raspberry suite color challenge no. 16. (dawnmcvey.typepad.com) i actually made a card about a week or so ago with almost the same colors. it is just perfect for autumn. it's been cool here the past few days and i absolutely love love love it. don't get me wrong, michael and i have been enjoying the nice warm sunshine and taking the boat out to the lake, but there is just something about fall that makes me smile. maybe it's the pumpkins, changing leaves and hot apple cider. mmhhhmmm. can't wait for some of that!

mini album!

i started this cute little mini album last year sometime, with year old pictures...so that means that this has been 2 years in the making! i'm so glad to finally be finished. i guess i was a little intimidated once i glued in the base paper...but i had it on my list of things to do and now i can cross it off! this little mini album (creative cafe chipboard mini album) documents my family's first trip to my new home in kentucky - october 2007. hope you enjoy!xoxo andie...

Color Challenge no15

friday night michael went fishing and i went to the mall! fun fun fun! i hadn't been to the mall in so long. i got a sweet little stamp set from archivers with lots of cute woodland animals. the little bird stamp i used on this card for dawn's raspberry suite color challenge is from that new set. i just love it! at the very bottom on the card i punched a strip of paper with my ek success border punch...i really like how subtle it is and how it just blends in with the background because it's the same color.
