The Mouse is Away, so Let’s Play!

Happy World Card Making Day 2011!  Claire is away at Athlone representing Waltingmouse Stamps, so while she is away from the mouse house, I though I would have a little give away. Shhhh….don’t RAT me out.  Just leave a comment either here, or on the WMS Facebook Page telling me what you are doing today to celebrate World Card Making Day, and I’ll select a lucky winner to receive a complimentary Join Us set.
You have until Sunday night (Oct. 2) to leave your comment.  I’ll select a winner and post the winner’s name right here.
Whatever your plans are for the day, I hope you will enjoy yourself and create something fun!

    Plan on getting together with a couple of friends helping to make TY cards for all the support one of them has received during cancer treatments.

    I'm walking between my balcony and my craftroom (because it's just too hot to be on the balcony for a very long time).
    And I'm in the middle of making some cards (after not being crafty for a couple of weeks).

    Here's wishing all success to Claire--this is a perfect day for such an activity. As for me, I will be working on more cards to send to a terminally ill family member.

    Happy WCMD! Plans for the day, soccer game and a trip to the local Celtic Fest (perfect honor for Claire!) and somewhere in there I'm going to squeeze in some crafty time, too much inspiration out there for WCMD.

    Oooh, this is fun! When the big mouse is away...we get a giveaway ;) World Card Making day is almost over for me, it's already Sat night where I am, and I'm just starting to make a card. It's been a busy day looking after my dad, but we had a great time. So..before the day is over I hope to make something for WMS' sketch challenge. Thanks! Happy cardmaking, everyone!!

    Honestly, no plans to make cards. But I really truly should. I have so many things to do that it wasn't in my plan. My hope is that everything will work out and I'll get to play. {Fingers crossed}

    So to celebrate World Card Making Day - I am cleaning up my much neglected craft room - half quilting/half card making supplies. I've purchased some additional shelving for my stamp sets and will be breaking open my first few Waltzingmouse Stamp sets to place in cases and put on my shelving. I will be having friends over for a card making party later this week - so will actually be making cards some time this week.

    Hi, Lynn!
    Ooohh. I like that set! Unfortunately, for World Card Making day I "get to" clean out my sewing room at my little cabin because I have MICE! NOT the cute little stamped variety, but REAL mice that have decided to invade my fabric drawers and eat my patterns! Thank heavens I have very little decorative paper here or I'd be really upset! Well...I'm off to finish cleaning. Thanks for the chance to win!

    I did a little shopping at Archivers to start off my WCMD celebrations. I needed to supplement my Halloween stash (which I did), but they also had a lot of new Christmas stuff in stock so a little of that came home with me too. Imagine that! I'm headed to my craft room right now to make birthday cards - October is a big month for us birthday-wise. Happy WCMD to you all!
