FREEBIE FRIDAY!!!

Hey there!! Just a QUICK one for you!! Stoppin' by to let you know that you NEED to get to the DIGITAL DELIGHTS, PCP Page or their SNR Page!!! Wendy has an AWESOME freebie to give you!!! I made a creation , so you can see how SWEET it is!! OK....what are you waiting for? Go get yours!! Thanks for stopping by and have a FABULOUS day!!! ENJOY LIFE!!

Well hello there, my SASSY friends!! How are you today? It's Thursday!! We are almost there! How has your week been going? Ours has been QUITE busy!! Did I tell you the Kitty story?

Well, I will try and make this brief, I promise! HAha! We had found a kitty, hanging around our yard, so of course I had to try and take care of it!! Haha!! I put food an water out where it was hiding, under our deck. Well, it couldn't get to the food and water I normally keep out front!! Then of course it began to get colder over night, and I made a little box for it! I used an old piece of rug and some blankets. When it started to drizzle, I moved it to the front porch! This POOR animal is SO mal-nourished, it is sickening!!!! If you have ever seen Animal Planet's Animal Rescure episodes, you know what I a saying!! You can see EVERY bone! Anyway, my heart was breaking for this little thing. Since we were not sure how healthy it was or if it was carrying any contagious diseases, we decided to take it to a vet. We could NEVER bring it in, if we didn't! Let me tell you, that is a story in itself!! There is NO one out there to help these POOR neglected animals!!!! I must have called everywhere, including our own vet, which I assure you we will never go to again!! Now, don't get me wrong, I UNDERSTAND that if these Vets saw EVERY stray, they couldn't stay in business!! That I am sure of, because there are a TON!! However, I know in the dental field, there are clinics where Dentists volunteer. They volunteer to help those less fortunate, because they NEED care too! Well, my friends? Animals are the same!! Would you believe I even called ORCA and the ASPCA? From what I have learned, they ONLY allow you to surrender the animal, NOT help it!! OK...I opened a HUGE can of worms and cannot keep it short!!! So I will wrap it up!! Haha!! Imagine that!!
To make a long story short, the kitty was NOT a kitty, she is abour 10 yrs old!! I was SO shocked, she weighs oNLY 5 lbs!! The vet we took her to was VERY nice and helped her out a lot!! She was given a dose of flea meds and we were told NOT to let her in for a few days or so. So......we shall see!! She is SO sweet and must have been someones pet!! I am going to post some signs, in our neighborhood, and see what happens. If no one has lost her? Then we will take care of her!!

Anyway!! Sorry about that!! That is ONE subject I am passionate about; stray, neglected animal!! Alrighty, the reason why you are here is to see what the DARE TO BE SASSY challenge is, right? Well, here it is!! The challenge is to create a recipe card! Cool huh? Head over to the SASSY STUDIO BLOG, for all the deets!!! Hope you will play along!! Sorry I bored you with my little babbling!! Haha!! Make sure to visit the other SASSY challenge girls!!! Have an AWESOME day!! There will be LOTS to share tomorrow, so stop back!!! I will have the DIGITAL DELIGHTS freebie Friday and you know what else there is!! Don't you? It is the MUCH anticipated, NEW MOON release and there are several diff hops to go along with it!!! Cannot wait 'till tomorrow!!! We are going to have a BLAST!!! See you then!! ENJOY LIFE!!

**YOUR CHALLENGE THIS WEEK IS TO CREATE AN EASEL CARD,
IF YOU DARE!!!!

GOOD MORNING!!! GOOD MORNING!!! WOOHOO!! All I can say is......I did it, I did it!!! Haha!! I did an easel card!! Can you believe it? That is our challenge this week, for WHIMSICAL WEDNESDAYS challenge #11!!! I gotta tell ya'.....when I saw this? I FREAKED, juuuuuust a little bit!! Haha! Judging by my reaction, you can ONLY assume, that I have NEVER done one of these!! AND??......That would be correct!!!
SO.......you can imagine my surprise when I was finished and it looked like it does below!! WOW!! I thought to myself......now Jacquie....that wasn't SO bad and....why did you get SO worked up!! I mean.....seriously!! I was that put off by the idea? I actually made this at 2:00 this morning!!! Nothing like putting things off 'till the last minute, huh? Anyway, now that you have read my silliness, hope you like my EASEL creation!! I used my Tatiana Ketto stamp, from Stamping Bella! Although I DO love this stamp? I don't know that I should have used it!!! That, my friends, is another story!! Since I can tend to be wordy? AND? Talk your ear off? I will leave it for another day!! Haha!! Suffice to say, I had a BIT of a bad experience there and that is the truth of it!!
OK.....so...you KNOW you want to make an EASEL card, now don't you? Head over to the WHIMSICAL WEDNESDAY blog and check out today's FEATURED DAREDEVIL, Randy!!! She is AWESOMATED, without a doubt!! That and you will want to get the info for posting/uploading your creation and such!! I know I said this week was a week of FIRSTS? I think this counts, don't you? Hope you will join us this week and can't wait to see what you create!! Heck, now that I know how to do this? I MAY just have to make another!! Have an AWESOME day and join me tomorrow for some MORE fun stuff!!! ENJOY LIFE!!!
