I'm not!
And I am now going to tell you why ... This piece started life as a beer mat ... not a soggy used one but a lovely Crisp new one!
Where did I get it? Well that is why I am smiling! Most days the wonderful John goes to the local supermarket and every time he asks me if I want anything! Well on most occasions I reply ... "yes please ... a present!"
He brings me home all manner of things ranging from chocolate bars to CDs to the latest best selling novel ... he bought home Twilight before I had even heard of it!
Anyways, a few months back he says ... "I'm going 
A couple of hours later he returned with a carrier bag full of unused beer mats for me to craft with! You just gotta love him!
Now back to the business of the up-cycled beer mat ... this is my entry for the Sunday Stamper challenge this week ... the theme is Blue. You must pop over to Hels' blog ... her entries are stunning!
I have used mainly Wendy Vecchi stamps but I was feeling a tad guilty about abandoning the Crafting genius Mr T!m ... so I have squeezed one of his on there too and added some Idea-ology embellishments.

Oh what a good hubbie. This is (going to say it again) gorgeous - I really feel like I'm overusing that word on your blog and you might think I don't mean it but it's the first word that pops in my head, I rack my brains for more words meaning the same thing but always come back to that one... and I do mean it :)
HOW DO YOU DO IT EVERY SINGLE TIME

Fab piece yet again, Linda. Love the little dragonflies and the shape of the beermat.
What a thoughtful hubby you have. Mine has offered me his old golf club to alter. :o)
Lovely - your stamping always manages to have just the right amount of 'grunge', and yet look so clean and beautiful at the same time. Fab work!
I'd never have noted that as a beer mat - a great transformation!
Pssst, Linda there is an award for you on my blog should you choose to accept it... it wont self destruct :P
This is gorgeous Linda.Love the blue shades and the little metal dragonflies.
