It's a Special Day! Celebrate!

It's Friday the 13th and my daughter's 30th birthday (I had her when I was 9. I was precocious like that.) and my fairy stamp mother's birthday (She's 29...again) and National Cocoa Day (Who comes up with these holidays?), so I made a card with cocoa and mice (We have mice. ugh! Not as pets, as intruders.  And yes, we do have  two cats. Who think the mice are their new toys.) However, I digress. I made a card for National Cocoa Day. So did my lovely Stampendous teammates and other friends. Be sure to click on over to Stampendous' blog to get links and to see the prize that's up for grabs!

Here's my card with the House-Mouse Designs® Sharing a Sip Rubber Stamp.
