Sketch For You To Try…
Ever hear the phrase, “Kids say the darnest things!”? I swear I am living that here at my house. You might recall this story of Ellie telling me that princesses don’t wear pants. Since then it has been brought up just about every day. I finally convinced her to wear “princess pants” which are leggings with lace at the bottom. For now that seems to be working. No one better ruin that for me! LOL! So the other day she is asking, “How do you spell CAT,” “How do you spell DOG,” and then she comes up with… “How do you spell PRINCESS….WITH NO PANTS!” Seriously people, I cannot make this stuff up. It’s just “Classic Ellie” {check out the SNL sketch with Justin Timberlake HERE to understand what I mean by that}.
Now that you have gotten your daily {ok, maybe not so daily lately} dose of Ellie-isms, it’s time to get the the sketch. I think it’s a pretty easy one and I hope that you will have fun with it!…
Here’s my version using newbie My Favorite Things stamps. I absolutely ADORE the Pure Innocence line of stamps! This is my first time playing with them and I am pretty sure that they will become a staple stamp purchase for months {years?} to come…

I never tire of Ellie stories because they are just too precious
Enjoy them and write them down somewhere in a book for her when she is older, she’ll love reading them - my kids sure do!! They are so precious at this age (even when they drive you nuts LOL) and I just love how their minds and little personalities begin to grow. Thanks for my morning smile 
Sketch and card samples are wonderful.
