Hola Gato – ha ha ha….
Posted by Michelle on January 25th, 2009 . Filed under: Uncategorized .…OK, that is totally a joke that only Heather would get. Hola Gato means Hello Kitty en espanol…and there was this girl in college…well, nevermind….heh.
Anyway – my cards from scraps idea sucked. My cards looked like poop. And I think it’s because I was forcing myself to make something out of the scraps. And then I got to thinking – I haven’t been at this too long so while I do have a lot of stuff, I certainly don’t have as much as people who have been doing this for years so why am I forcing myself to use scraps now? Yeah – that’s right, skip that!
So this card was made with someone special in mind. But check this out – the pink Hello Kitty stuff, guess where I got it? It was the packaging on the inside of my brand new Hello Kitty hair dryer! Props to a sistah for goin’ green – wooo! No no, I ain’t in to Hello Kitty, but I needed a new hair dryer and this one was on clearance at Target and it was the same wattage that I needed, so, for $10 less, ohhhh yeah I’m dryin’ my hair to Hola Gato in the mornings. The sentiment is kinda hard to see in the picture, but it’s from Verve’s Hundred Hearts and it says: a true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart. How sweet is that for Hola Gato? I am cracking myself up right now and y’all just don’t get it…pathetic am I!
This is an altered composition book that I made for my secret sister (from another mother) in my fat chick group. She’s battling breast cancer right now 🙁 so I thought the pink going with the pink ribbon kinda thing and the hope paper would be perfect for her. She said she wanted a weight-loss journal, so I hope she likes this.
And this is another Target mailbox altered to match the composition book above for my SS. I got her some sugar-free/calorie-free hard candies to put in it.
