Deck the Carrots?


 Hi all! Can you believe it's December? Wow. I am not in a holiday mood at all, but I'm trying. The weather did get a bit chilly here last week which helps. :) Anyway, I had purchased this cute House Mouse stamp a while back and hadn't inked it up yet. I thought it would be fun color. I wanted to enter it in the House Mouse & Friends Monday challenge. I did the optional sparkle on my carrots with Wink of Stella, but as usual, Stella is camera shy. :)

I hope you are doing well. We are still in the "finding the right medication" and therapy stage here. Parenting is hard man. I feel like we've been in this stage for years. We have a good psychiatrist this time, so fingers crossed. I'm trying not to let all our troubles ruin the holidays, but man. Holidays, plus homeschooling, but constant battles... I'm tired. Thank goodness for creative time. I also started volunteering in the butterfly garden at our arboretum. Weeding is great therapy, too. 

Take care and be sure not to overwhelm yourself with the holiday planning.

  4. This Bunny knows carrots, too. I have a tree full. Okay just kidding but your card is adorable. That Stella really is elusive. We all have trouble with her. Thanks for joining us at House Mouse and Friends Monday challenge. {Bunny} Designer for House Mouse and Friends

    p.s.- It's okay to say parenting is hard. There are days when everyone feels like throwing the baby out with the bath water. Scream into a pillow. And then start the day over again. Even if it starts again at noon. Sigh......we do what we have too. Praying for you. Here's a hug too. Safe long distance germ free hug.
