How to deal with a rodent infestation

sink, cats and mice from Rick St. Dennis

New digi stamps for scenes

I have always lamented the lack of kitchen sink stamps for scenes so when Rick St. Dennis asked for new ideas/suggestions to add to his Etsy digi store I of course asked for furniture, among a few other things and definitely a kitchen sink! Look how awesome these came out. Here's the link: http://www.etsy.com/listing/108447600/sinks-scene-stamp-sheet?ref=v1_other_1
He also drew another sheet for me with fireplaces, a small table and old fashioned stove. It's in his store http://www.etsy.com/shop/rick1949

I'm not affiliated with his shop, I'm a customer - I just appreciate him putting my requests to paper so beautifully.

I tried scanning this card but the background looked too blurry  because of the pop dots so I snapped a pic. Not too good but the best this poor photographer could do.
Hippo and ice cream cone are by Hambo Stamps
Beach Huts and ice cream cart are from Cuddly Buddly
Tote is really old, from Rubber Tree
Lots of colors of Stickles on ice cream
Memory Box flip flop die
