Raining Happy

So it's been awhile since I have been able to get to my blog.... ugh.... The move to Hawaii was pretty smooth, we got here in Sept, received our HHG (house hold goods) the last week of October.  Our previous neighbors flooded our home along with theirs *sigh*... Oh I forgot that it was the day AFTER we received our HHG so most of our furniture and unpacked boxes got wet.  Got my oldest enrolled in school, getting my lil guy used to the separation from his brother...  Maintenance/DKI came and repaired our floors after Christmas.. YaY!... We are still having repairs made due to the flooding but things are finally slowing down to where I can focus on my stamping!  Oh how I have missed my antique typewriting desk that I bought specifically for my crafting needs.  I am loving it here in Hawaii, the weather here is beautiful even when it's raining.  Speaking of rain.. wow have we been getting a lot of it the last few days!  When I received the Ippity Itty Bitty I was smitten with it!  How appropriate and fitting?!  Raining Happy... yes... yes it is.  We are so happy that we are able to still enjoy our time together regardless of all the rain!  So this is what I've been working on...

I love it!  I used the raindrop background from Unity Stamps Kit Of the Month February and of course Ippity Itty Bitty!  I will be posting a video tutorial for this card so be sure to check back!  To purchase the Ippity Itty Bitty go to UnityStampco.com, click on my name: Annette Marlow then it will take you back to the main UnityStampCo.com page, on the left side under categories Click Itty Bitty (Ippity) next click on Add to Cart :0).  I love the prices of the stamps for the GREAT quality!  Don't forget to order your Kit of the Month too!!... It's $31.00 a month and that includes shipping and handling.  You can purchase past kits as well.  The kit I used for the raindrop background is February's which you can find here.
