Hey All! I'm so sorry that this post is up so late, but Blogger was having problems nationwide, and it has just now gone back up. Have no idea what the issue was, I'm just glad that I can get this posted.
We have a new challenge this week and I'm also announcing the WINNER of my hidden blog candy for the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge blog's Blog Hop. The winner is listed at the end of this post and also on the main challenge blog along with the rest of the winners.
This week's challenge over at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge is "Sweets". Pretty self explanatory huh? If someone says "sweets" to me I already start drooling! LOL So, here is my card for this week's challenge:
This is exactly what I look like after polishing off a handful of donut holes! LOL This House Mouse image is called "Donut Bliss". It's colored with colored pencils and oms as always, and the sentiment was created in word using Word Art. I added diamond glitter to the frosting of the donut and the brad, but it doesn't show up too well in the photo. I hope you play along with us this week!
Now for the winner of my part of the blog hop blog candy. . .the winner was selected by Random.org and the lucky person is. . . .BECKY from A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!!!! Congrats Becky, here was my hidden prize:
This is a gorgeous ceramic tall mug perfect for both coffee and tea. The picture is not that great, but the outside of the mug says "Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself." The word "create" is also on the inner rim of the mug. The colors of the mug are turquoise and brown. Perfect for drinking your favorite coffee or tea while "creating"! Congrats Becky! Please send me an email (curt.obrien@gmail.com) to give me your address so I can get this out to you right away.
Again, thanks everyone for making our first blog hop so terrific, and congrats to all of the winners! If you don't know if you won something, be sure to run over to the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge Blog to see!
Thanks for stopping by! I'll see you on Wednesday for the Wednesday Evening Post!
Best,
Curt O'Brien

Gorgeous card as always Curt. Yep, know the "I've eaten too much, time for a snooze" feeling too.
Your card is adorable, beautiful colouring and that sentiment is so sweet. Congrats to Becky too.

Adorable! I totally understand how that little mouse feels. I feel that way every time I have a Dunkin' Donut, which is not that often or I would fit in the doorway!
What a fun card, I am right there when sweets are mentioned.
Your coloring is excellent as usual.
Congrats to becky, what a great candy to give away.
Hope everyone is fine in your neck of the woods.

Let's not talk sweets, You will not find them in my house, out of sight out of mind, why you ask? I am one of those people who does not know how to eat just one. With all of that said, this is a fabulous card, love how you did the sentiment. even the brad looks like a piece of candy. hahaha.
Thanks so much Curt.

Hi Curt
glad you managed to get on get online, gorgeous card luv this stamp, awesome colouring, scoopy.x
Hi Curt, it's been awhile since I viewed your blog, beautiful as ever! Love your dogs videos! Your House Mouse fit me yesterday. I went to the Dr. for a 6 month check and got good results as I'm a vegetarian now and finally able to loose weight. So Yesterday I celebrated with some Swedish Pancakes and Bacon....maybe Ice cream today and then back on it. I hear you know my pen pal Sunshine from New Zealand. A photographer too, think her photo blog is Lady in Red. Praying for her health problems, we've been friends for so many years. I need to learn to take better pictures, sure love your beautiful scenic ones! Rosy
As a donot lover (being Canadian) I LOVE this card. Definitely a must buy.
Again, a wonderful piece of 'art'.
yummy card! :)

Wonderful card Curt! BUT, I've been dreaming about donuts lately and you are definitely NOT helping!!! LOL
I had to struggle with the steering wheel today to avoid crashing into a Dunkin'Donuts shop. My goodness - a close call.
The prize was beautiful - I love the sentiment!
Hope you week it terrific and you and Jay are doing well. Hugs!
