it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring

A belated Happy New Year to all of you we haven't yet seen this year.

January starts a 5 month long epic of birthdays, both staff and family before we get a break then it all starts again in August.
Paul has just had his birthday not quite an O one that's next year. For some reason both Dorrie and I picked the same sentiment unknown to each other, I wonder if it is our state of mind or a comment on the birthday boy. 

Dorrie used her favorite Tim Holtz Distressed inks and Stampendous Steampunk owl stamp, I used Stampendous' Cardinal birds stamp and my new set of Prismacolor pencils (what a lovely Christmas Present) 

The word stamp says 'It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring' 

All the products used are available at the shop.

Happy crafting
