Happy Monday hens! I haven't had a chance to tell ya'll about what Santa brought me for Christmas.... soooo, I thought I'd share a few photos from my Christmas morning.
After unwrapping all my presents, I was told that Santa had left my BIG gift upstairs in my new coop. Hmmmm? Wonder what it could be??? (Uh, I'm not one of those people who are delicate about the wrapping paper. I'm a ripper-upper! Skip that prissy stuff, I wanna see what's in the box!!) LOL!!
Eeeeek!! It's an iMac!! My dream come true!! I was just a wee bit EXCITED!! Pfffft!! More like "ready to pee my pants" excited!! Last Spring, my PC crashed and since then, I've been operating on a wing and a prayer. So, I had been begging for a new computer but I didn't want another PC!! I wanted a MAC!! Needless to say, I'm in LUUUUUV with Santa!! xoxoxoxo What girl doesn't love a man bearing gifts? Hmmm?
So in honor of my new baby Maxine (yes, that's her name!) I made a little something for my desk! You know how you always get those "not so attractive" bank calendars for your desk, right? Well, I thought I'd gussy one of them up and this image of "Crabby Cathy" from Bugaboo Stamps was just PERFECT for the occasion!! LOL!! Oh, I SO agree Cathy!!
Not to mention, this little project will fit right in to today's ABC (Anything But a Card) Monday over at the Catch the Bug Challenge blog! I just love how this turned out, and it looks so STINKIN cute beside Maxine! She's grinning too, I can tell ya know. LOL! This little project was super simple to make too. Just a few pieces of CS and DP adhered to the top part of the calendar and I finished with a bubbly bow tied with this pretty aqua saddle stitched ribbon. Now I'm all ready for the new year ahead! Woo-hoo! Be sure to stop in over at the Catch the Bug Challenge blog for some more ABC ideas from the Bugaboo Stamps DT. They always come up with the neatest things!
Okee dokee, that's it from the hen house today. I hope you hens have a MARVELOUS Monday and I'll see ya back here bright n' early tomorrow mornin! {{{hen hugs}}}
Supplies:
Digital Images: Bugaboo Stamps; CS - SU Chocolate Chip, Georgia Pacific White; DP - My Mind's Eye; Ribbon - Papertrey Ink; Button; Twine; SU Border Punch

ReplyDeleteOMG Jeanie I was actually looking at the same thing in the Apple store yesterday.

You are going to LOVE you Mac and imovie is going to be an awesome experience for your tutorials. Sorry for rambling on and on, see how excited I got for you :o)

LouLou
LOL, that's an excellent image! And the sentiment is perfect, great project.
ReplyDeleteSooo true! Ha ha. I love the idea with the calender!
ReplyDeleteI missed this posting. Yours is just like mine. I LOVE my Mac. My son loved it so much we got him one instead of a PC laptop. I now have a really nice Mac laptop that I got for free (another story for another day) and I LOVE it too. I'm very selfish about my computers and don't like to share. My husband replaced the hard-drive last night on his PC laptop for $40 so he's good to go, but when it's time for him to buy, it will be a MAC. I'm still learning amazing things that my MAC can do.
