Im Mellie da Marcos

So, I spent the evening with Jenn last night and managed to finally put some ink to my new stamp order. I have been dying to use SU's new In Colors as well as my Bugz!! This is my first card. It is a Sketch Challenge from Splitcoast and I am really pleased with how it turned out!! As for the drama with my sister, there is always one thing that makes me feel better ............. RETAIL THERAPY!! Now granted, I haven't gone and got them yet but just knowing that I am going to makes me all giddy!! What could it be that isn't stamps that gets me all excited?? Can you guess from the title?? SHOES!! That's right I love shoes. Particularly the high heeled impractical kind that a mom of 6 that grooms dogs for a living doesn't have much occasion to wear. I made Kevin promise that if I died young and before him and hadn't yet owned a pair of Mahnalo Blahniks or Jimmy Choos, that he would buy me a pair to be buried in. And we already own our plots and are going to be cremated so how bizarre -but whatever! It made me feel better to know at one point they would grace my feet. Well in an effort to cheer me up Kevin said I could get my hair done and get a new outfit for the wedding next year so....................... that's when I realized I need to get me some new shoes. Who can feel bad about not being your sister's bridesmaid when you have $500 shoes on your feet?? I can't wait!! This might be the best thing that ever happened to me! *GRIN* (Talk about making Lemonaid out of Lemons!!) And we are taking ballroom dancing lessons. Yes, that's right we are HUGE Dancing with the Stars fans. Been watching since Season 1. Drew and Cheryl are our faves!! Kevin even splurged and got us table/dance floor side seats when they came to Winnipeg!! We could have reached out and touched them it was SOOO cool!! And Kevin really is a fan too!! It's funny that we have the hots for the exact same team!! I always thought Nick Lachey was cute but Drew........SIGH, you get the idea!! And I can't blame him for wanting Cheryl, she's drop dead gorgeous too!! Hugs to you all!
