This is as exotic as it gets in Missouri...

I know Sandy has bears and Michelle has kangaroos, but here in Missouri, this is all we get...I rescued this "little feller" from my neighbor's yard...put him near our pond where he happily dived right in!

 

Make it Monday!

Got paper?  Then get crafty with it and join us for another open challenge at Make it Monday!!!!  This week our sponsor is one of my all time favorites:  BUGABOO!!!!  Why do I love Bugaboo so much?  First, because their images are stinkin' ADORABLE!  Seriously, soooo cute!  Second, they are so affordable!  So you can totally stock up!  Third, every Friday they offer a freebie...let me say that again, EVERY Friday they offer a freebie!!!!  How awesome is that?!? 

Here is my creation...because, in case you haven't noticed, I'm obsessed with Halloween:

And here is my POTW...now, normally I don't like red...I also don't like pink (go figure) but when paired with white, I find red magical...just like this GORGEOUS card from Lucy (plus I just love the name Lucy!):

Isn't she beautiful?  Love it!

Have a wonderful week and don't forget, if you get crafty with paper, you should link up for a chance to win something fantastic at Make it Monday!
