Thanks for the chuckle, Marlena! Hope you didn't have to fight to hard for the TP. I actually stock up around this time of year for that reason. Your card is adorable and the rose punch is an interesting surprise.

Great card! I have to thank you, because I got that sentiment stamp in a grab bag and couldn't figure out where it was from! Now I do, thanks to you! :) Hope you got your TP... and maybe some other fun stuff for yourself as well!
