Pockets


The players: one old house, a cool end of summer evening, a mama, two boys and a mouse
The situation: a mouse comes out and decides to play, much to the mama’s dismay (a scream or two might be involved).
The words exchanged: From the small boy: Can we keep the mouse? Don’t worry mama, he can live in my pockets.
Then: From the big boy: How can the mouse fit in your pocket with all the spiders you keep in there?


Just wanted to document a bit of my life here on the good ol' blog-o, so I never forget the pocket full of spiders...

Over on the Artful Delight Blog I have a quick tips and tricks post on a different way to use washi tape. A roll of this really fun pattern from October Afternoon was included in the September Card Kit...I had to put it to good use! I hope that you have a minute or two to stop over at Artful Delight to check it out! And while you are there, check out the sketch challenges! There is just a few days left to participate in a layout or card sketch for your chance to win a free kit!
