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!

  6. What a sweet little card! I love the way you colored the mice and cocoa. Mice are so much nicer on a card than in the house, lol!

  7. The little House Mousies are getting into mischief again, but what a sweet mess this will make if it spills! Lovely coloring and design. What a wonderful Christmas card.
