Smilie eyes make me happy

Ahh, Monday... back to the old grindstone I guess.
It's cold, gray and wet here... I am SO ready for spring to come, I need sunshine!
Oh well, at least with the weather like it is I'm still in the mood to make some winter-ish cards... like little Sweater Ian here. Isn't he adorable with those smilie eyes? I'm still campaigning that he and Sweater Anya both see rubber some day... fingers crossed! :)

So I don't know if it's because I come from a scrapbooking background or if it's just my own crazy paper crafting obsession but this week before the CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) show always gets me excited for sneak peeks of all the new papers and goodies. I've got my favorite companies and am anxious to see what they have in store for us... I find it very inspiring! Anyone else out there feel the same? So far some faves I've spotted are the Garden Variety line from Cosmo Cricket and Quite Contrary from My Mind's Eye. They both look super fun to create with. :)
I'm still waiting to see what October Afternoon and Basic Grey have in store but they always seem to play things close to the vest until the show actually starts. Have I mentioned before that patience isn't one of my strong suits? Ah well, it's not long now... ;)

Ok, off to get ready for the day... have a good one!
