Good Morning Everyone!
On Saturday I received a gift from a most kind friend, Freegbird! It was a get well card and Top Hat that does something so cool I wanted to share!
Isn't that cool. You pull the rabbit from the hat and find a paper chain of good thoughts and ideas to have a better day! So NEAT!
Thank you so much FreeG! It's just awesome! You Rock!

Oh my God this is sooooo frickin cute. You could make this for soooooo many occasions like a Birthday...Your Birthday is so magical I bet you could pull a rabbit out of a hat etc. I likeie Freegbird!!! Me thinks they are talented.

That hat is awesome. So many talented people in your life! I would love to get back to being talented, but my craft room ended up in mass destruction this weekend and won't be well for a few more days! Maybe I need one of those top hats!

WOW, That is really adorable, Hope she does a tutorial on how to construct this. I can see myself making it for so many different occasions. Hope you are feeling better Jim

WOW....I am blown away by your kindness in sharing my little funny hat. I am honored to be on your blog !!! Thank you also to Donna, Kim and Wanda for your kind words. I found the hat template free online, and was trying to figure out a way to incorporate pulling a rabbit out of it. I love Jim's picture with his top hat...so gentlemanly !
And a very talented artist to boot !! Glad you are feeling better and back with your nose to the grindstone for all of us crafters. You and Laura are my mentors and I do so appreciate all you do for us with all your wonderful ideas !!

Freegbird there is nothing like taking the time to encourage a friend! My brother called me when he received this treat and told all about it but my imagination fell far short of how CUTE this top hat actually was!! Jim you are blessed in your friends, what a kindness!!!

Thank you one and all for the wonderful words of encouragement. I am the one who is blessed to have found a friend in Jim, he inspires us all to do better, to think outside the box. I was just having fun thinking up what I could do with a top hat for a card. Glad you have enjoyed it as much as I had fun making it. Blessing to you all.
