Surprise!

Oh my! Look at this Kitty Surprise! 

She has a surprise birthday present for someone.

I love that this kitty does not come with any

pattern printed on her. That means you can

color it to look like any kitty you want!

For this one I just chose to make it a tabby.

(I don't have a tabby, but I heard 

tabby's get in trouble a lot)...so this one looks like

she's already in trouble.

already decorated eggs! No thinking involved, just

coloring, how fun! And of course it has a blank

one so you can create your own.

I had to add some rhinestones.

I need your help! Prizes involved.

I bought some stamps at a recent used stamp sale and 

for me to be able to use them on cards, 

I need to know who made them.

That is where my wonderful readers come in!

Can you help me find out who made all of the stamps shown here?

Click on the picture and it will get larger for you. 

I will give away a surprise, prize to all of those who help me find out. 

It looks like the birds/tree, cow and girl in overalls are the same maker...

but I have no idea who it is.  Found out they are from High Hopes.
The phone and scissors look like they are from the same company too.

Chinese Take out box -Jim Stephen
China 1916 sealed and the Cheshier cat are both from Stamp Fransisco.
