Wow! It has been a busy week so far. I almost forgot to post my project!
On Sunday night, one of my dogs tangled with a skunk. Not only did she get sprayed but she was bit 3 times. (Thank goodness all the drama was after “True Blood” finished.) We looked on-line and saw that the “old wives tales” solutions such as tomato juice are no longer recommended. We mixed up a solution of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish soap, put it on her and had to hold her still for 5-10 minutes. (You can find more on this HERE. This solution is what was recommended by our vet too.) I’m happy to say that the solution seemed to work pretty well although my house was a little smelly the next day. We also made a trip to the vet to get a rabies booster and for them to check out her bites. She seems to be doing fine and since she was up-to-date on her vaccines, we really don’t need to worry too much about the bites.
My daughter’s softball team also won their division. Yeah Cougars!
Added to that, it is fiscal year end at the company I work at. Enough said about that. I don’t want to bore you all but suffice to say I feel like I am running around like a mad woman.
With all this going on, I felt like I could use a hug so when I saw Meljen’s Designs Teeny Mouse Hugs in my files, I knew I had to use it. I think this card is going in my box for OWH.
Before I forget, Melissa is releasing some new, yummy images today. Check these out! They will be available today in the Whimsy Stamps store.

This is so adorable!! Just LOVE that image. Congrats to your daughter, and I'm glad puppy's ok! I'm also VERY glad to know the tomato solution is gone...my family is always threatening people with that, giving us all phobias about being within 50 feet of skunks. lol
My goodness and I thought my plate was full. I remember when I was a little our dog was sprayed and it is awful!!! Glad puppy is doing well and you found something that works on the smell. Congrats to Liz on her win! Love your card, it is so sweet and just gives that warm, mushy feeling all over :) Your cards are always fun to see. Sending you some cyber {{hugs}}.
Sounds like you have really had a time of it. Glad your pup is doing well and none the worst for wear. Love your sweet card. Sending hugs!

oh my, poor doggie. I'm glad she's doing well now. That sounded awful. Thank God we do not have skunks or snakes here in HI but lots and lots of centipedes and flying cockroaches... not sure if that's better. :)

Whew, from one "True-bie" to another, I am also happy to hear that you got through the show before the stinky drama really began. ;) Your poor fur-baby! We dealt with the skunk mess with one of our pups a few years ago. After trying the tomato juice thing we finally found the same remedy you used. Ugh, such a stinky situation! I'm glad she is ok, though.
On another note, your card is soooo cute! :)
Hi Cheryl! Great pallette and lovely card! The mouses are so, so sweet!
