FLICKs for March

This 'n' That

26 Apr

003 copy

I ran to Price Club this morning and picked up a bunch of stuff, and I did a bad thing, I went hungry. Yep, that is not a good thing to do when you go there, but I did get some good stuff, and some household stuff we needed, paper towels, toilet paper, things like that.

Even after spending all that money, what did I do before I left? I bought me a hot dog and drink for $1.50 – Ha! 

So I had taken my bag that zips up and is insulated so stuff does not melt on the way home, and when I was unloading these heavy danged old boxes out of my cart, I almost ruptured something it was so heavy, I saw that the guy just put the bag still all folded up and stuck in one of the boxes, he didn't even put my frozen stuff in it…well gee thanks fella, I was just taking that bag inside to give it a tour of the store.  So I had to go right home since stuff was not packed right and I didn't want to be doing it in the parking lot.

I hadn't shown the FLICKs (First Level Incentive Card Kits) card for March yet so I wanted to do that, and I think I still have one from my 10/10/20 Birthday card class I will show another day.

Don't forget that this Four Frames stamp set you can get this month only, and then it won't be available again until the new catalog.  All you have to do is place an order of at least $20.00 before tax and shipping and then you can order this set and the Paisley Prints DSP too. You can read more about it here.

002 copy
Stamp Set: Four Frames, Fabulous Phrases, Love & Care

Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Marina Mist

Ink: Marina Mist, Whisper White, Jetblack Stazon, More Mustard, Sahara Sand

Misc: White Taffeta, Decorative Label punch, Framed tulips Embossing folder

So guess what?

I got my first critter fix for the year. I have seen a few running around but today was a fun day…well for me anyway, not sure about this little guy.

When I went out in the back yard, for some reason I went over to the backyard kitchen and this little guy was in the sink.  They fall in and then usually they can't get back out cause it is too slick, so I caught him and brought him in for a few pictures.

004 copy
He's thinking, darn it, I wish I hadn't just peed cause I would like to give this crazy woman a palm full.

005 copy
Look at his pretty under belly color, like blue turquoise, will have to google that to see what it is, maybe it means he was cold since he was in the stainless steel sink when I caught him. Added since post: I googled it and he is a Sagebrush Lizard and here is more information on him – yep it was a him…or a Western Fence Lizard, more information here.  Although I got a much better picture of his under belly then Wikipedia did…just sayin'!

006 copy
I love this one, he's giving me the "wanna buy some car insurance lady?" look.

So then I figured I'd let him go out front near the roses and where Jeff has his split rail fence, so as I was walking out there, where I was going to set him down, there was another one, and I was like "hey!" and then he scooted down the post a bit.

009 copy
This one's body was a bit fatter. Then he ran off when I got closer.

010 copy
So I put my little guy on the fence and he stayed there for a bit, probably thanking his lucky stars he was saved from the sink. Then I went to touch him and he jumped down onto the ground.

012 copy
Look how great he is at blending in, he looks like a stick eh?

So that was my critter excitement for today.  With the weather getting nicer I am sure there will be more, and I hope they are just the fun critters and not the slimy no legged kind if you catch my drift.

Have an awesome Tuesday and thanks for stopping in.

A signature white 5

    Di, you are braver than I as I would never pick up that little fellow…LOL!

    Our inside/outside cat brings us in presents. Yesterday, he brought a little chipmunk in and we had to chase him all over to get him out of the house. I have one of those cat doors, so that is how he brings them inside…Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Have a great day, my friend.

    Diana: Don't you just love living in Arizona! My granddaughter (from Wisconsin) was so excited to hear that "Wally" is back. (she named them Wally because last year when she came out to Arizona to visit, every time she saw a lizard they were hanging out on the wall soaking up the sun) I'm hoping that the turquoise on the belly wasn't some kind of "WARNING"…..If you goggle it and learn what it means-Would love to hear about it. Thanks for sharing and LOVE your blog!

    Love the "blue-belly" That's what we called them as kids; and they were supposedly poisonous. But, how do you get bit by a lizard? Thanks for sharing the gorgeous card and the lizard! MJ

    WE've just had the first of many hatches of the lizards that grown around Central Florida. No idea what kind they are. Kind of hard to identify a little inch-long lizard!

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
