It's time for another open paper challenge at Make it Monday!  This week our sponsor is the amazing and adorable Little Miss Muffet! 

"Howdy from Little Miss Muffet Stamps!  This little shoppe was inspired by a house full of Little Miss Muffets and arachnophobes alike. It isn't too difficult to image how I ended up here since I've been drawing and coloring from the moment I picked up a crayon. Now as I sit in my hobby room I get to share my passion with my own Little Miss Muffets who love to work along side of me.  Now I'm excited to share creations from two additional artists... Pollycraft by Paula and introducing Simply Sophia!!  With our three unique styles there is something you are sure to enjoy!"
Here is my creation, using Snuggly:

Isn't she precious?!?  LOVE her!

This week has been so hectic I just didn't have time to do a POTW...it's so hard to pick just one anyway and between birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day and the stomach bug (ewww!), I think I'm lucky we're all still alive!  Bwahahaha!  Next week, I promise!
