Happy Friday - I'd like a muffin the size of my head and an even bigger coffee...

Happy Friday everyone! I think I've mentioned that for the first time in SEVEN YEARS I've got a little free time on Fridays! I know, I can't even stand it!

Now, I dearly love my children and it has been a joy to stay home with them. I consider myself so fortunate that I have a job that allows me to be home to raise them. But then again, sometimes, a girl would like (just a modicum!) of privacy, you know, to pee by myself with the door closed??

Last week, I had to bring both boys with me to get a brow wax before we headed to NYC. Of course, they had all sorts of questions and it was just undignified....

This morning, I'll admit, nothing fun, a flu shot and some errands. But quiet. And grownup music in the car, I'll of course, enjoy a nice hot mocha at Starbucks, without worrying if the little one will break out in hives from residue on the counter, go ahead, ask me how I know that he breaks out in hives at Starbucks....

But you're not here to hear me gloat about my glorious morning off today, you're here for a card right? *giggle*

Emily has switched up the Bellariffic Fridays for a little bit. This week we're theme based. I love that! The theme, was Fall/Halloween. I flipped through my Bindah to see who was coming out to play, and it was Matilda Muffinbread. And today, she's all dressed in fall colors thanks to my new fave paper - Ohh, La La from My Minds Eye.

The dress and the teeny tiny bows are all paper pieced, and then I colored the rest of the image with Copic markers, and I used some self adhesive rhinestones (I'm working hard to embrace the bling don't you know....)

Be sure to stop by Blogabella to see all the submissions from the team, as well as the amazing creations from Stamping Bella fans everywhere!

And let's just say that I'm in cyber-stitches over the dialogue! I can't imagine any little ones observing the brow waxing episode! LOL
