I'm linking up to WOYWW hosted by Julia at Stamping Ground. Creative people from all over the world link up every Wednesday to show their workdesks and sometimes what projects they are working on. Make yourself comfortable, get a cup of coffee (or tea) and sit a while. It's so much fun to see what everyone is working on.
This is my first "baby announcement." I had fun drawing the giraffes but I couldn't draw them small enough to get their whole body on the canvas. I think it's pretty darn cute - what do you think?
And a sad note. My little conure, Tulip, passed away on Monday. It was totally unexpected. She was just a baby - less than a year old. I miss her whistling for me in the morning and calling me sweetheart. She had even started laughing like me. Now it's just me and Katie dog.
It seems as though I've had one struggle after another - losing Daisy in March, health issues and now losing Tulip. Sometimes life is just so dang rough.
As always I'll visit those that leave a comment and those that end in the same number as me. I also visit others as I can.
Peace,
Kay

Oh dear Kay, big bloggy hugs coming your way from Downunder so sorry to hear of your wee birds passing...
My nephew had one he called Concorde (yes like the plane) and he accidentally trod on it and no no more Connie
Yes yes! your giraffes are very very cute - they are really are fun things to draw love them and elephants myself. Love your pancakes dwon below too - Shaz in oz.x #43
Oh Kay, I am so so sorry to hear of the passing of Tulip. Am sure you miss her tremendously, what a shame - so young.
Your canvas - sometimes I think it is better to have a partial image on something and I think it works fine on here. Lovely and bright - am sure it will be very very well received.
Thanks for sharing - Hugs, neet xx #27
I love your polka dotted giraffes. And I am so sorry to hear about your little Tulip. It is always difficult to lose a pet because they become so much a part of our families. Hugsxxx dani#26
Oh that birdy is a treat as she has a bath.

How sad you lost little Tulip; your giraffes turned out cute.
Hi Kay, so sorry to hear about Tulip, you must miss her very much indeed, it is such a wrench when a beloved pet dies, I really feel for you.
On a happier note, I love the way the giraffes are not fully on the page, it gives a project a nice perspective, in my humble opinion. It really is a very cute canvas.
Happy WOYWW, and extra big crafty hugs, Anne x #58
Awh little tulip x x x x
Here's a hug from the Doodly birds.
Your canvas is so cute Kay, you clever thing xx
Adorable canvas, and condolences on the loss of your little friend. Lovely to have picture - maybe you should commemorate her on a canvas for your next project? Then she can be there, looking own on your desk, still.

Sending you big hugs this morning. We had to have our daughter and son-in-law's dog put to sleep in the middle of the night last night whilst they are away on honeymoon so know just how you must be feeling :-(
Hugs,

Animals leave such an enormous gap when they die, don't they? Tulip must have given you great joy in her time with you... keep your chin up, Kay. Sending big hugs xxxx

PS I prefer the fact that the giraffes are off the page - it's funkier, really like it!
Oh my I am so sorry for your loss, I do hope you can catch the huge cyber hug that is coming to you now. On a bright note that is now 3 bad things now everything can only get better. Your giraffes are great and so, so cute you have done an excellent job.
Thanksf or visiting me see you next time.
Eliza #16 again.
Sending you a big hug today.. sorry to hear about little Tulip.. It is so hard when we loose a pet.. take care x x x
love the canvas! well done it's fabulous.. x
Regarding how I stamp.. I normally stamp the whole of a A4 page, then I have a bunch ready if I need them...sometimes I will just stamp one image the cut out.. But as I normally get covered in ink.. I tend to do a lot in the one go..hugs may x x x#12
Aw Kay, so sorry about Tulip...you'll miss her company.The canvas is great, bet Carson's mum was really pleased..I like the off the edge giraffes - much less contrived that way.
So sorry about Tulip, you get so attached to parrots. I don't know what I'd do if my Charlie passed away. Sending lots of hugs your way, so sad.
I love your cute little giraffes.
Keep smiling.

So sorry about your Tulip! We love our babies so and when we lose them it hurts so much. Love your canvas...very cute. Glenda 93
So sorry to hear about you losing your beloved Tulip. Our pets have a way of working their way into our hearts and completely stealing them away, don't they. We've lost several kitties and know how it tears you apart.
A wonderful birth announcement! I love the little giraffes - they are so sweet! Well done!
Thanks for your visit and your nice comment - hope you enjoy looking at last week's post about the 80th birthday card (the recipient loved it by the way!).
Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi

So sorry to hear about Tulip. It is tough to lose a pet (AKA a loved one). You canvas is lovely and I like the giraffes holding the banner. It is very cute and they whole giraffe didn't need to be on the canvas to make it work. Take care, ya hear?!
Oh Kay, what a sad loss for you, that makes two sad losses this year. Love the little giraffe birth announcement though.
Sending hugs

Hi Kay - thanks for coming by earlier - sorry to hear about Tulip.
great canvas - maybe you could make a project to remember happy times with Tulip to cheer yourself up ? Hugs Ali
I am so sorry about your little bird.
I will show her picture to Miss C. She will be sad for you too.
I have a cheery little bird story that might cheer you up a wee bit.
Little Miss C is having a bird rescue group bring birds for her 6th birthday in October. She has asked for "no presents" just a possible donation for the bird rescue people when they arrive.
She had great fun listening to us read to her about different animal rescue groups...It was a toss up between the Donkey Rescue near our RV resort or the parrots...the birds won out:)
Looove the canvas Kay, the giraffes are so cute! Heart-breaking news about Tulip though ;((
Ps. Thank you so much for the congratulations wishes! Mwah! x
This is my second try, internet went out and wiped out my post! :( i am so very sorry to hear about Tulip, that really tough, especially sonce she was so young! ((((((((((big hugs ))))))))))
Those are cute giraffes, Kay, very nice keepsake. So sorry about your bird, she sounded like a sweetie. Thanks for visiting me.
Oh, Kay, I'm so very sorry about Tulip, and about all the other onions you've had to peel of late. Sending blesses that you have easier travels for the next very long while!!

What a great birthday party idea!! Tell Miss C that I love that she thinks of animals that need help!
Hugs,

Cute giraffes, I have that polka dot paper and have to restrain myself from using it on everything, it's so great! :)
On the sadder side of things, so sorry for your loss. Tulip looks and sounds like she was a sweetie. I wish I had more comforting words to offer but do take care of yourself dear and know you have crafty hearts all over the world thinking of you. :)

Hi Kay. Surfed into your blog from Pixie's, and I'm so sorry to read about your little bird. I know you must miss her terribly. Hopefully life's issues will get better as time passes...There's a great post at http://www.djkardkreations.com/2012/06/one-layer-wednesday-92-on-edge.html with regard to life being like the layers of an onion. You may have to read thru some posts to find it, but it is a very apt description of how things can go in life at times. Hope to visit you again soon, and hope you will come see me too. Right now I'm recuperating from 'some onions' so not posting cards at the moment, but will again soon. Take care. Happy to have found your blog. Oh, yes, I DID enjoy the card too!
I love the canvas...even with the giraffes not quite fitting on there, it looks like its supposed to be that way!
So sorry to hear about your little Tulip.
I'm having a giveaway, open worldwide this week. Come check it out if you get the chance!

Kay, thank you for visiting earlier in the week. Now that my big project is complete, I have time to visit. And it couldn't be a more perfect time because there is nothing worse than losing a loved one. Although words are difficult at a time like this, I assure you, the pain will eventually subside and only good memories will take their place. I didn't join WOYWW this week, so I have no number.
Hi kay so sorry to hear about little Tulip It sounds like you've been having a rough time lately.i certainly hope things start to improve which I'm sure they will! Try to remain positive and keep your eyes peeled for those silver linings xxx
Kay....so sorry to hear about your sweet little Tulip:( That is so sad. On a cheery note...your canvas is absolutely darling!!! You are soo crafty and talentd:)

Hi Kay, I'm am so sorry to heat about Tulip (what an adorable name). On a more cheery note your baby announcement is delightful . . . A+, great job! Have a wonderful weekend, Connie :)
Oh, Kay, I am so sorry to hear about Tulip - she looks adorable. Sometimes life does seem to come at us a bit too much and just knock the ground from under our feet. You'll need to give yourself a lot of TLC over the next few weeks. Your giraffes are fab - they look perfect on the birth announcement. Take care. Elizabeth x #63
