Hi Stampers:
You all are sooo sweet to email me/post comments that you are feeling sad for me since Mr Crabby Pants aka Crab & Company #108559 is on the retirement list 🙁
OH say it isn't sooo.. I guess my" long live Mr Crabby pants" plee went on heard by SU! But he will live forever in my heart as One of my Most favoritest little guys ever .I will continue to keep his famous Gallery on my blog in honor of his cuteness .
So I guess it goes without saying that todays post is in honor of Mr. Crabby pants AKA Crab & company#108559 . I used the Top note die#113463 in Rose red card stock and the Pennant Bigz XL die # 113483 was used with Old Olive card stock which by the way this scallop circle from this pennant die works perfect with the 1 3/4" circle punch #112004 which is what I used to punch out Mr Crabby pants. 
I then folded the top note die in half punched a 1/8 hole on the point and added some white GG ribbon# 109025 and then I used the slit punch #104388 for the inside to make it in to a Ghirardelli chocolate holder. I just had to make mine with my most Favorite little guy on the front I also punched out "Sandy Claws with the Word window punch #105090 which fits perfectly.
Thank you for your concerns about my saddness to see Mr Crabby pants on the retirement list . I guess if there is a good time for him to go down in History would be when he is still highly loved By his #1 fan ( ME) and hundreds of other stampers everywhere .

You were the first thing on my mind when I saw Mr. Crabby on the list, apparently I wasn’t the only one. Too funny. I’m sorry to see him go too. I actually bought him because of your blog and the super cute and wonderful projects you made with him. Though I am sad to say I’ve never used him. 🙁 I will make an effort to use every stamp in the set though before he goes.
I love the project today-you’re so creative. Would you mind if I put it on my blog sometime-giving you full credit of course.
Thanks for your great blog!
What a BUMMER. Sorry he’s leaving. Maybe a new stamp will appear that you will fall in love with.
sandy claws… how funny – i’m cracking up – where do u get your ideas from? u r awesome!
I am sooooo happy that I finally bought him 2 months ago! Now if I can only find the time to ink him up I’ll be on cloud nine! I luv Mr. Crabby pants, he’s the cutest crab I know, hehehe!!!
Oh, I forgot to mention, I luv your Sandy Claws candy project…too cute!!!
Dawn…I loved all your Mr Crabby Pants ideas!
Just think, something is coming that will be just “as charming” as crabby! But he will always live in our hearts… and our artwork!
You are the first person I thought of when I saw he was on the list! He will be forever missed!
I too, thought of you when I saw Mr. Crabby was being discontinued. I just love him and I’m so glad your gallery will still be available. Thank you for sharing all your projects.
