Just created my own pattern ~ no big deal ~ and stamped them with paints and various stamp pads from my enormous collection. I love the way they have that cheesecloth, cheese, crate, wine ...

(no such word?) ... however, he couldn't NOT be included! I was so touched when I was studying him one day, while working on many Christmas projects; I was pondering the thought of how much joy he's brought to me - he's just SO CUTE! My father, while here for Christmas this time, stood next to me and said, "You know, that rabbit, he's just got SUCH CHARACTER, doesn't he?" I just had to hold myself together. No one else ever appreciates those kinds of things like I do. Usually, anyway. COOL moment.<br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2hFEq9kYg98/TSTtjveCntI/AAAAAAAAFJU/RRDO82Pb31w/s1600/IMG_5796.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 344px; height: 469px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2hFEq9kYg98/TSTtjveCntI/AAAAAAAAFJU/RRDO82Pb31w/s400/IMG_5796.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558829038375706322" border="0" /></a><br />He holds up the largest garland of black synthetic grapes I've ever seen.
