Everyone should have a few odd collections, right?

My mom is English and is fussy about her tea. The only tea she has found that "tastes like English tea" is Red Rose. Mom does not like herbal or "perfumey" tea. Red Rose tea has a figurine in each box. There is always a theme and of course there are extra pieces you can buy. I have a wall with printer's drawers with figurines filling them. I have more drawers to go on the wall because I do not have any empty spaces left and Mom is still drinking tea. Taking the current drawers down and putting all back up is on my hubby's honey-do list. Here is the current arrangement.
Until next time...

I have been collecting digital scrapbooking files for a while although I do not consider myself a scrapbooker. I have done a few layouts, but I mostly work in journals and memory books. I either create digital files to print for the books or print elements on sticker paper. Here are three of my books. The one in the upper left is a brag book of the furr family that I made when we still had Bovi and didn't have Pala or Hammie. The upper right is a daily journal that I used until I ran out of space. The lower book is for a trip we took. The left and lower books are fabric covered. I discovered that if I ran fabric through my zyron that I could cover books easily. The other has paper and elements and is then covered by contact paper. I like the fabric better. I can find fabric that I would not think about wearing that makes great book covers.

My hubby picked me up after work because he was in the area due to an interview. He had to wait for me to be ready to leave and was hungry, so we went straight to a restaurant to eat afterwards. This is the table display at Steak 'n' Shake. Yeah, I know this is not the healthiest place to eat, but it was fast (mostly) and it is where hubby wanted to eat.

This photo is taken from the same pedestrian bridge as the previous day. This is looking diagonally off the bridge from the opposite side. The university (Emory) is constantly tearing down things and building new or renovating what is already here. The buildings that have lots of windows are dorms. Two dorms were torn down to make this big pit and now they are building something here. I do not know if the new buildings will be dorms, accademic buildings or labs.
Until next time...

At the end of my work day, I cross over a pedestrian bridge to get to the shuttle bus that takes me close to home. The bridge spans a railroad track. Those of us who work here are very glad of the pedestrian bridge and the road bridge seen in the photo. Traffic on the main road through the university is busy enough at rush hour and doesn't need the complication that stopping for a train would cause.
Until next time...

My hubby was being silly and picked up the cat bed with Hammy in it. I grabbed the camera and took some photos before he jumped down. This is Hammy with the half asleep, confused look.
This is Hammie fully awake and realizing that he was up in the air.

I took one more with his jumping out but that one was just too blurry to post.

Until next time...

I have been a rubber stamper for 10 years. One of the stamp groups that I have remained in is the Crazy for Cats Card Club or CCCC. We send cards to other people in the group. Any received are to be reciprocated although there isn't a time limit. Each card or other stamped item must have a hand stamped cat on it. This is a stand up desk calendar that I received. Isn't it cute?
Until next time....
