As soon as I saw this Frog Chorus, the new Tom Allen Friendly Kritter being released tomorrow, I thought of three part harmony. Here's my frog trio singing their hearts out for someone's birthday The frogs were stamped with Distress Black Soot then immediately embossed with clear EP. I used Adirondack reinkers to watercolor them. Broken China Distress ink was sponged for the background.

I wanted to be able to use the larger sentiment from this great set coming soon (we started sneaking this one early!! shhhh, don't tell *wink*), called Birthday Centers. Since it was 3-part harmony, it had to be stamped 3 times...right?! I found a wide piece of regular bias tape (from my sewing days...haha), sponged my Fired Brick Distress ink across it...voila...I had my bass, tenor and alto cheers! The verse is from the same set. Oh, you're gonna love it!!

I would have liked to have stitched like the example, but if you could see what I'd have to move to get to my machine...... ugh! It was easier to just use the Scor-It!

I have to share some pictures with you.

Quite a few of our friends and family homeschool their children. Every year they have a "Project Fair". This year we learned about Eskimos, Poetry, Insects and Goats.

The family with goats brought their 2 sets of twins, not quite 2 weeks old. They brought bottles filled with Mama's milk and each child got a chance to feed them. 4-legged kids are just too cute! Mix them with 2-legged ones and oh boy...let the fun begin!!

The 2 boys are my grandsons (out of 5).

Thanks for stopping by!
