On a completely non stamping issue, I would like to introduce our newest family member.........



meet Marty! Yes, Marty is a giraffe, a 6 1/2 foot giraffe to be exact. Since I was in high school I always said I was going to own a giraffe named Marty one day. Well folks, that day was Saturday. My son and husband found this giraffe at a yard sale for only a few dollars and he is now mine! Don't ask me why a giraffe and don't ask why Marty because I don't remember but I can say HE IS AWESOME! He's going straight to my craft room to guard all my goodies =)
