Isn’t That Cute?…

Posted by Jen | Ellie, The Cat's Pajamas, cards, challenges | Tuesday, August 26, 2008

Before I get to my card, I wanna tell you a cute little Ellie story {two, actually}…

The other day I was changing her diaper and she said, “Mommy, I tooted.” I replied, “Well, I think you did a lot more than toot.” To that she followed up with, “Yep, lotsa toots-es.” That made me laugh!!

So a few days ago we went to Wal-Mart and someone pulling out of one of the parallel handicap spots almost hit us {in the car}. Unfortunately, my mouth spoke faster than my brain could think “Ellie is in the car!!” She said, “Bad Momma, no yelling at people! Say sorry!” So I said, “Sorry for yelling at people,” but did not address what I said thinking that she would forget. Last night we were on the phone with Grandmama and asked Ellie to tell her why I had to say sorry. Does she say “Momma, yell at people.”? NOPE she says, “Momma God Damnit.” Grandmama almost lost it I think {laughing}. I can only imagine the 100 shades of red my face was!

Sorry about the curses! Now onto the real deal for today…

It’s TCP Tuesday and Katie has chosen the cute Baby Train stamp for us to use this week. I did not have this stamp until just yesterday. I’ve always admired it, but waited to get it. Now, I am glad I did! It’s hard to believe that I actually was able to resist a baby stamp, especially a TCP one! This card uses Julee’s Mojo Monday Sketch from this week. I tried to do something a little different with the sentiment panel. What do you think?

    That story about yelling in the car was too funny! I bet it sounded even funnier in a little girl voice!

    Hello Jen
    I am finally back on line, after a month with no internet I have loads of catching up to do. I am loving this card, its beautiful. Thank you for my swap card that came last week. I have posted yours and apologise for the delay, having no internet means I hadn’t received my emails and didn’t know who I was swapping with until Karins snail mail arrived. I have enjoyed browsing your blog, so many inspirational works of art! Will return. Hugs Linda x
