It's Friday!! I hope you are all ready for the weekend. My son is on spring break so it's like every day is the weekend...we get to sleep in!!!! And then...the fighting begins!! My kids are at each other all day and I have no idea what I'm going to do with them once he is out for the summer...I keep telling my husband...WE NEED A POOL!!!! <br />
<br />
Anyway...it's been a while since I have posted..things have just been getting in the way but really important things so it's not like I can whine that I haven't been able to craft...my mind has just been on my BFF who's baby was just born a preemie with heart problems and just had surgery and is trying to survive the next 3 days and so...I have been lost a bit especially since she is in Pa. and I'm here in Nc. <br />
<br />
But today I have for you bunnyduck...he's a bit confused as to what he is I think...lol...this was my day to post over at <a href="http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/">Great Impressions</a> and this is the images I used. Did you know that Great Impressions is doing challenges now?

It's Friday!!! It's feeling like Saturday here because Jodus is off of school for a teachers work day. It's nice and sunny and in the 70's...I am so ready for full force spring here....MINUS the dang pollen there is yellow everywhere...our cars look horrible! <br />
<br />
Today is my day to post over at Great Impressions and today I am working with Fanci Peacock which you can find <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/shop/animals/g376.html">HERE</a> along with the rest of the GI images! <br />
I thought I was going to love coloring this one in but then decided to heat emboss it and add stickles for sparkle...you know everything has to sparkle!!<br />
I have been asked how I made the flower for the other card I did so I used the other one that I made at the same time and wanted to give you the link to the girl who actually did a tutorial for them that I followed:<br />

</div><div align="center">Wow...I really am loving the CI paints but I really need a lot of work on how to use them. I used them to stamp my image and then also painted my flowers!

I know my son is bored especially since he works sooo hard during the week at school but dang...does he have to bug the crap out of his sister?!!! <br />
<br />
I'm excited to share with all of that you that over at <a href="http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/">Great Impressions</a> we have started our monthly challenges. Since the online store is officially open we are working hard to promote it and have started challenges! This month's challenge is something handmade!

How are you? I got my hair cut this week. I finally feel almost normal again! Got it cut and colored and had a little bit of girl time which I don't get very often. It's short and it requires me to actually "do" it which is fine because I hate that I always just throw it up in a pony tail and it just looks and feels so much healthier. <br />
<br />
Today is my day over at Great Impressions to post and this is the card I posted! Here is a link to the <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/">store</a> and here is a link to the <a href="http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/">blog</a> where you can find the rest of the DT's work from this week and other weeks as well! <br />
Great Impressions is going to be starting a monthly challenge and we would love for all of you to join us so please make sure you check in on Sunday, the 4th for the new challenge, all the rules and prizes!!<br />
<br />

Yesterday was my day to post over at the Great Impressions blog. We have little challenges going on with the DT and the challenge was sentiment only. I thought this was going to be hard for me but I found a sentiment from GI ~Get Well Prayer that is pretty big so I didn't have to worry about how I was going to take up the rest of the space left on the card. <br />
<a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/">Great Impressions</a> is having a 10% off sale right now if you use the code GIB212. This will end at the end of the month so hurry over and do some shopping while you can get a fabulous discount! <br />
Also be sure to go by the <a href="http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/">blog</a> so you can check out all the other DT creations from this past week! <br />
<br />
I used the cricut for this card and got really lucky with the sizing being pretty perfect to fit the sentiment and the card size!<br />
It wouldn't be me without some glitter so I used my stickles on some of the leaves on the DP. I "think" this DP is from DCWV but I can't be sure because this is from my scrap pile. I have been doing reallllly good with going through my scraps before getting new paper out so I can use up some of my huge pile!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc72Fx_fLcH2tb8YPxXzSadqAOJKezViHxbaxcW7zy5VJoLCfKcBSXYOALksmtm1cTnAxWQUqEvMHGXKPavsAtVSK5ShRA8xfRgvH6Y1_koc6-Yhyphenhyphen3NsqCN6zlU7Hc_5MoWGQxrpZ9O74/s1600/GI+get+well.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc72Fx_fLcH2tb8YPxXzSadqAOJKezViHxbaxcW7zy5VJoLCfKcBSXYOALksmtm1cTnAxWQUqEvMHGXKPavsAtVSK5ShRA8xfRgvH6Y1_koc6-Yhyphenhyphen3NsqCN6zlU7Hc_5MoWGQxrpZ9O74/s400/GI+get+well.jpg" /></a></div><br />

How's it going? Things here are going pretty good. Although...I am sooooo "off" lately. I can't seem to keep anything straight including my dates! Ugh! <br />
Today is my day over at the <a href="http://inkyimpressionsrubberstamps.blogspot.com/">Inky Impressions Inspirational Blog</a> to post so here is what I came up with. <br />
I used Winter Fashion Marlee and decided to cut her out. I'm not great at cutting but I couldn't resist with this image...it just seemed "right". I then popped her up a bit with some pop dots. Not too much else too it. Nice and simple! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivTyqmOXQtrEmGvEsQZ_2Hz6kmLL9BNyXTG0DdHjNFSmGNVJxvWzwvIdqQ4NT_PnWhCFpnziIhyn3663YPcDq15iMCMffBhiQRuBH3_yeBl8zfvnmPP1TovaPdAS2DKeqvsy7DYmZ8JNE/s1600/winterfashionmarlee.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivTyqmOXQtrEmGvEsQZ_2Hz6kmLL9BNyXTG0DdHjNFSmGNVJxvWzwvIdqQ4NT_PnWhCFpnziIhyn3663YPcDq15iMCMffBhiQRuBH3_yeBl8zfvnmPP1TovaPdAS2DKeqvsy7DYmZ8JNE/s400/winterfashionmarlee.jpg" /></a></div><br />

I hope you are all having a nice Friday! I am "suppose" to be getting ready to give my first Scentsy home party and I'm avoiding getting ready! I'm nervous. I haven't done this in a really long time! So instead I'm blogging!!! <br />
Today is my day over at <a href="http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/">Great Impressions</a> to post and I decided to use a silhouette image called Frolicking Trio. I don't use silhouette's much because I'm never sure "how" to use them besides to make them black so I remembered I had perfect pearls and got them out and this is what I came up with!<br />
I also want to let you know that after many months of hard hard work the <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/">Great Impressions Website</a> is now open for business and for the rest of this month you can get a 10% discount on your order. For more details on that visit the Great Impressions blog ;-) <br />
<br />
So basically to use the perfect pearls I just inked up my image with my versamark (as if I'm going to emboss) and then daubed the perfect pearls on the image. After that to "set" the powder I just sprayed some water in the air and wafted the image under it (don't you love my terms today...lol). This was my first time doing it and you can see some shadowing around the image that isn't suppose to be there but I don't think it looks too bad...almost like I meant to do it!<br />

I am barely alive this morning so bare with me!! We just got home last night from a 5 day trip up to Pa. for a baby shower. It was surely worth the trip but that drive sucks even more each time we make it. But we did get really lucky and didn't hit any horrible traffic like we normally do. <br />
<br />
Today a new challenge starts over at <a href="http://inkyimpressionschallenges.blogspot.com/">Inky Impressions</a>! The challenge is to use punches or dies! <br />

I am trying to play catch-up and work in advance because I am outta here on Friday!!! I am going up north to Pa. for my BFF/cousin-in-law's baby shower! This is a HUGE deal! She has been through a lot and I am just soooo thankful that Jodus' having days off school and Rodney being on his 5 day break all landed at the same time as her baby shower! So it's going to be a busy couple of days but totally worth it. And honestly...I am ready to escape. Some times you just get fed up of everything and need that break to get your bearings back. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today I worked with an Inky Impressions image called Angelica Sled's. This was the image that had drawn me to Inky in the first place. She's sooo cute! </div><div style="text-align: center;">While I'm talking about Inky Impressions I wanted to let you know a few things....1.

Saturday was a kinda...blah day and today was spent cleaning...so basically another blah day...lol...but a clean blah day!!! I know it's superbowl Sunday but I don't do the whole football thing so cleaning and trying to keep the kids from killing each other is what is on my agenda today. <br />
<br />

Also, <a href="http://www.inkyimpressionschallenges.blogspot.com/">Inky Impressions challenge blog</a> has a challenge going on that you still have time to get in on it...the challenge is shaped cards, anything but square!<br />
I have to say...I kinda like this card, I think she came out really cute and all the little "extras" on the card are cute as well. But...you know...I'm prejudice...since it is my work!!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7obRA5UdhUBI1KO3tERRUJwBi29UG5ux2OvnqBBp_RenGjolH45BPxWLL859hC0HDHvYmNlxbeH54pV3ZrtBDeWt7Qw4O1wcf4iMwkrk3QBJkAW9f_qMpP-AzOphUfVR8QNFkU2UJxdg/s1600/IforgotInky.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7obRA5UdhUBI1KO3tERRUJwBi29UG5ux2OvnqBBp_RenGjolH45BPxWLL859hC0HDHvYmNlxbeH54pV3ZrtBDeWt7Qw4O1wcf4iMwkrk3QBJkAW9f_qMpP-AzOphUfVR8QNFkU2UJxdg/s400/IforgotInky.jpg" /></a></div><br />

I hope you all had a good week. My week was....okay I guess. Kinda up and down most of the week. <br />
Friday's are my day's to post over at the <a href="http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/">Great Impressions Blog</a> and this was my card for the week. If you haven't been over there to check it out...you need to...there is some amazing talent and there is a new post daily! <br />
The image I used today is called Heart Blooming Tree and it's adorable and I thought it would be perfect for a Valentine's Day card! <br />
I made the flowers...they are those rolled flowers and they are super easy! And of course they get even better with some bling or tons of stickles on them ;-) </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK5KHqOqd-k1bjT5A8B_7-kiYqx1rzm6xZg0wwMIMSuEnKdnPKB1sa0Z3e_CdmcqfCqb6aDTeSCHltzPJV1Podm9U2FnLezhapNi28hOVkdZwtSS3vu3X-CUwgAQdGBFLvucqMRsEEkjs/s1600/GI+Tree.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK5KHqOqd-k1bjT5A8B_7-kiYqx1rzm6xZg0wwMIMSuEnKdnPKB1sa0Z3e_CdmcqfCqb6aDTeSCHltzPJV1Podm9U2FnLezhapNi28hOVkdZwtSS3vu3X-CUwgAQdGBFLvucqMRsEEkjs/s400/GI+Tree.jpg" /></a></div><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: 0% 50%; border: 0px currentColor; padding: 0px;" /></a><br />

How is everyone doing? I thought I'd share with you a caddy I redid for my son's teacher! I wish I had taken a before picture but that's okay. She had this caddy for years...a teacher of her's gave it to her and the stickers on it (yes...it had stickers on it) were a little outdated and she wanted it to be redone! Soooooo........this is what I came up with!<br />
She loves black and white (has zebra print in her room) she loves yellow and dots (has lot's of that going on in her room as well) so I combined them and came up with this!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUf4PK8Xtj5MgVYIky6s1xgOG5Nqt7lY_TFyioajx5GPK-HtF6lDqm60hg3cku7LzQUnwDPLhRkkTWX7VE61ttafgsXvYqgE3wvaqgfB0BPPk059b-iyV0v6GlAsFREswXotkdlgR27CY/s1600/sarah+catty.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUf4PK8Xtj5MgVYIky6s1xgOG5Nqt7lY_TFyioajx5GPK-HtF6lDqm60hg3cku7LzQUnwDPLhRkkTWX7VE61ttafgsXvYqgE3wvaqgfB0BPPk059b-iyV0v6GlAsFREswXotkdlgR27CY/s400/sarah+catty.jpg" /></a></div><br />

I hope everyone's week is going well so far. I'm having a "I'm so tired" kinda week. Last night my DH was snoring soooo bad I came out to the couch to sleep and could still hear him...ugh! <br />
This is my first post for the Inky Challenges and I'm horribly disappionted in it. I have to say that mamaw skiing gave me a heck of a time. I don't know if it was because it's out of my comfort zone or what but from the image all the way through the entire card I was just uhappy with it and the thing is...that was the 3rd time I colored her and it took me hours to come up with the card so it's not like I just threw the first thing together that I did. Ugh! <br />
But here it is anyway! </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1o0AAnOlIgOi9ZfSnwUwzUIFlmIjVxjRfwFmVMXTHR-0GGkDwJVAoSkCe8Ap8SbX4whmLw4yzUnduBIlxMMXwcXgocHfmwNPcH7y2TvuQ3QEDUUzkIoL-IZh33uRDQ9QG55PP729DpzU/s1600/mamawski2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1o0AAnOlIgOi9ZfSnwUwzUIFlmIjVxjRfwFmVMXTHR-0GGkDwJVAoSkCe8Ap8SbX4whmLw4yzUnduBIlxMMXwcXgocHfmwNPcH7y2TvuQ3QEDUUzkIoL-IZh33uRDQ9QG55PP729DpzU/s400/mamawski2.jpg" /></a></div><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: 0% 50%; border: 0px currentColor; padding: 0px;" /></a>The Challenge over at <a href="http://www.inkyimpressionschallenges.blogspot.com/">Inky Impressions</a> is Anything but a square card.

I get to sleep in for 3 days (no school day Monday) woohooo!!! My son was out of school for 3 weeks on winter break and he just started back this week and let me tell you....I had the HARDEST time getting up this week. I got way to used to sleeping in and going to bed late. <br />
<br />
Today is my day to post over at <a href="http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/">Great Impressions</a>. I decided to work with Birthday Diva. She's a cute little thing huh?! I took this picture at the perfect time today, the sun was shining right in on the card....love living in N.C. where it's sunny more than gloomy (unlike Germany where you don't even know what "sun" is).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8RQgC96dq1VcGUSD3tlKWlHO9oLcAStnXAU6vYtk31eNLdgjWPiRtjrgZS9kGwwpulc_pfhB7mvA8YVLwEMIu9H3zkIsw4w2NejCLYsLlmd9O_k1HUSuCqzsRigwaoecqqC0ULADbcG4/s1600/GI+Bday+diva.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8RQgC96dq1VcGUSD3tlKWlHO9oLcAStnXAU6vYtk31eNLdgjWPiRtjrgZS9kGwwpulc_pfhB7mvA8YVLwEMIu9H3zkIsw4w2NejCLYsLlmd9O_k1HUSuCqzsRigwaoecqqC0ULADbcG4/s400/GI+Bday+diva.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I have been so busy coloring, coloring and coloring some more lately. I'm sure my husband would like me to put that much effort into my cleaning...lol! <br />
I made this altered notebook for my BFFs' daughter. It was suppose to be for her birthday...that didn't happen, so it was suppose to be for Christmas....that didn't happen either so it's a I love you Kayla gift...LOL! I hope she liked it...I think she liked it...she seemed like she liked it! I don't worry so much about my stuff if people are buying what is already made but when it comes to making thing specifically for someone....I get nervous that it's going to be what they really like. <br />

Happy Sunday! I told you all I had something awesome to share with you in my next post and here it is! After trying two times...I made it on the Inky Impressions DT!!! Woohoo...go me..go me!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.inkyimpressionschallenges.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYeDpGF1MUR96ujXLWwAOicODMrWmc1a4F5r9cPEOANkLW-McrYrj30Odc0_uDMHwKkaNQiNRO2sQ06_WL_6Qe9UAXih-RtO6C6_0TbywZQN4iPNRjn4PHNJ6tgZ3W4z8A98pzVX3p10U/s1600/InkyChallenges.gif" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is what drew me to Inky like a year ago when I first applied for the DT!

I think so!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIjeP9jjeRy62wR054Ci6ihAnFCExTzv8X0UBApFTLb9TN_IorFqL-iHghiO5iTpDZP3odcSiyvKJia8IuVXKTbaLzteVkkIW2vS8iyF3FbvEMgNpcTVHPqDXAunOsazmuov9UcZNX7H4/s1600/angelicassled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIjeP9jjeRy62wR054Ci6ihAnFCExTzv8X0UBApFTLb9TN_IorFqL-iHghiO5iTpDZP3odcSiyvKJia8IuVXKTbaLzteVkkIW2vS8iyF3FbvEMgNpcTVHPqDXAunOsazmuov9UcZNX7H4/s320/angelicassled.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am so excited to share with all of you the great work of the DT...they have been posting all week long so go over and have a look at their work and leave them some love. This blog is new but the company is not. Great Impressions has been around for quite some time but doing most of their business with a few online stores and then with in local craft stores and they have decided to branch out even more and open their own online website and wanted to start getting the word out over the Internet so here we are!!! </div><div align="center"><br />
For my first weekly post I decided to use When it Rains...such a cute little saying to make a friend smile an those boots alone are just adorable! <br />

That is horrible! BUT...I promise that dry spell is over. I have new commitments and old ones as well that need to be kept and I'll share my "new commitment" in my next post!! I know your excited to hear about it aren't you?! <br />
<br />
Did everyone have a nice Christmas? Ours was very nice and low key this year and this year we were sitting in our comfortable home instead of a hotel room like last year and we were here in the States instead of Germany, so yes...we had a nice Christmas this year! <br />
<br />
So....it's a new year and at <a href="http://creativecraftchallenges2.blogspot.com/">Creative Craft Challenges</a> there is a new challenge! The challenge for the next two weeks is New Years Resolutions...be sure to head over and not only play along but check out the rest of the DT's resolutions for the year. <br />
I am not one to make resolutions, I just don't really believe in it. I think that if there are things in your life that you want changed that you shouldn't wait for a certain day to start those changes that's just me though. And I don't do NYE either. Some find that strange but my husband usually is working (he's a firefighter) and I'm not a night person, I'm usually in bed way before midnight and I just don't get the purpose of staying up late just to say "Happy New Years", maybe I'm just no fun or a Debbie Downer when it comes to that...oh well!!! <br />
<br />
So with that all being said (I know you were just dying to hear my life story) I had a hard time with the challenge over at CCCB so I thought if I was to make a resolution it would be to get my Christmas cards for 2012 done early. I didn't even send any out this year. I have NEVER not sent out cards and I actually had people asking me where their cards were. Didn't know so many people actually cared! So I'm starting my resolution off right with a Christmas card!!!!!<br />
<br />

I'm suppose to be cleaning for an open house I'm hosting tomorrow (I just signed up for Scentsy...wooohooo) but I am just not in the cleaning mood so instead I'm doing some blogging and other computer stuff...I'm still "working" just from the computer and not from my feet...LOL!<br />
I got this Magnolia image a long time back in a swap and I finally pulled it out and colored it. I really love coloring Magnolias....they are sooo much easier for me unlike whiff Of Joy that I've already said are really hard for me!<br />
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving...we got to go home to Pa. and visit with family and eat some amazing food!

I totally forgot today was Tuesday AGAIN!!! I still need to get The Stamping Boutique challenge up on the challenge blog and I was suppose to have this post up earlier....grrrr. I thought I was having memory issues while I was pregnant....this is getting ridiculous!<br />
<br />
So we are heading up to Pa. tomorrow after my wonderful DH get's out of his EMT class and will be spending the holiday with family!!! I am so excited...not so much looking forward to the 9-10 hour drive but it's worth it! We'll be heading back down here to NC on Sunday so my DH and DS can get some sleep for school Monday morning. So it will be a quick...fully filled weekend!!!<br />
<br />
Today a new challenge has started over at <a href="http://creativecraftchallenges2.blogspot.com/">Creative Craft Challenges</a> and it's a free for all challenge!! How fun and easy is that?! Be sure to head over to the challenge blog and see all the wonderful projects the girls came up with and of course join in the challenge as well..it runs for 2 weeks so lots of time to get a project in and of course you will need some crafty time after you are all nice and full from that wonderful Thanksgiving feast!!!</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: 0% 50%; border: 0px currentColor; padding: 0px;" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Dt-hqOgrK_1QkdIiFAtkrSIKFVppdYFwLiKYL774dOqXnK2XEf_3-8Dpsc2tvWMn9EvzJJpj6XLvgtYlm0i7OOfGMVxwJsWs7yxUiAKMtHYZWuqJy8Vz56BtJObEuOdjTLSg65pqqGE/s1600/Meljens+grump+elf.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Dt-hqOgrK_1QkdIiFAtkrSIKFVppdYFwLiKYL774dOqXnK2XEf_3-8Dpsc2tvWMn9EvzJJpj6XLvgtYlm0i7OOfGMVxwJsWs7yxUiAKMtHYZWuqJy8Vz56BtJObEuOdjTLSg65pqqGE/s400/Meljens+grump+elf.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
