What's Up Doc? (Bugs Bunny reference from my childhood)

St. Patrick's Day or Lots of Green

this month at Crafting Happiness Challenges!

***********

Mr. Bunny sitting in his garden of carrots,

and happy as a clam about it too. LOL

Speaking of being happy as a clam,

where in the world did that saying come from?

Are clams happy? How do you know? LOL

I'll have to look that up now.

..... 2 seconds later....

According to Mr. Google:

Origin of Happy as a Clam

The idea behind this expression is that clams are happiest when the ocean is at high tide. When the water it as high tide, the clams are protected from predation by birds. This idiom originated in the United States around the year 1830.

Enjoy your day!

Okay, I know it's November, but I have this really cute and fun card kit I purchased from Peachy Cheap and wanted to make the cards now instead of waiting. They could have been scheduled for Spring of next year, but I thought they were so cute, I want to share them now. :)

April Frig Calendar for Bonnie

Hi There! Hello!

Time to share our family's April refrigerator calendar I create for Bonnie each month. I love making these as much as she loves looking at them every day and taking off dates or looking at special events coming up.

SVG cut files and I don't remember 

what chubby font I used, but I like it!

I used black vinyl for the numbers 

(it's my way of avoiding gluing thin pieces of paper)

The cake is a 'print and cut' because 

someBUNNY has a birthday! :)
