Happy Monday!
It's a federal holiday in the U.S. today. A holiday to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. It's also the inauguration day for President Barack Obama's second term.
And in the Bay Area, a lot of people are starting the day with hangovers after celebrating the 49ers winning the playoff game yesterday!
Me, I'm dashing in and out today because it's a day off for Mister, who is helicoptering over my head because he wants to use this computer to scan some of our 5,000 old family photos. Bless him, I'm outta here! It's a mahoosive job and I'd rather be in Playhouse, making cards with you!
This week's fantastic CAS(E) this Sketch! (#11) has been designed by the Head Sketcher herself, Jackie Rockwell:
I took the sketch quite literally this time and made this:
I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up just the word "laugh" from a Hero Arts cursive background stamp. Simple dimple.

The reason I took this sketch literally is because I quite like this design. I like it so much that a few years ago I used it as an accent on my bathroom floor when it was remodeled.
How bout that. It is a small design feature that makes a big impact because it makes the tiny rooms look bigger. I had similar accents put into Mister's bath. His floor is marble so the accent is Greek, naturally.
BTW, IMHO, one of the secrets to a long marriage is separate bathrooms, if you can swing it. In our house, we have two small bathrooms. One became the girl's bathroom and the other became the boy's bathroom. It's a blissful arrangement, lemma tell you! There is such a thing as knowing too much about a person, their natural aromas, bits and pieces, and jams and jellies ~ if you know what I mean, and I think you do.
