Love is in the Air


How many times have you gone to buy a greeting card to find a bunch of very generic cards to choose from? Or else found that they are all dripping in saccharine sentiment? That's why I usually make my own!

At the moment I have a couple of cards in the Ohh Deer greeting card competition.

If you are an English person who was raised to feel awkward in many social situations these guinea pigs will certainly resonate with you:

Many of us ladies are crazy about chocolates. Guinea pigs are too! This is the perfect funny card for Valentine's Day.

    1. We have guinea pigs and we let the piggies run around and once or twice I have almost eaten their dried poo thinking it was a chocolate button.....I wonder what it would taste like....no actually I really don't want to know!

  9. How darling! Love the guinea pigs so much! Both are wonderful. On my blog the portrait started out to be me (done many years ago) and turned out looking on one side like my sister. So I recently tried to fix it. I did correct the proportions some, but it still looks like we both used to look!

  23. Good luck with the competition. We had a lot of guinea pigs growing up. I remember my mother crying over her favorite one when it passed. They have the most incredible, intelligent behaviors. :)
