Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

The big day is only a few days away!  I have to say time got away from me again.  I'm happy that I had most things in order, but did get behind in my baking.  I may do a little this afternoon.  For the above card,  the cardinal die is from SSS and the embossing folder is from Spellbinder's.  This card is for my mother-in-law.

Unfortunately, all last week we had to take care of our dog.  It happened so suddenly for the poor little thing.  We were to the vet every day this past week.  Our sweet Sheila's cancer came back and it was in her lung.  She developed pulmonary hypertension.  She also had Cushing's disease.  We tried everything and by the end of the week her kidneys were failing.  There was nothing more to do for her.  She was one strong sassy little thing.  But, she could also be so loving.  She was my snuggle buddy.  She will be dearly missed!

I have two more cards to share...

I was making tags and thought I'd make a card with the cute images.  The stamps are from Pretty Pink Posh and the sentiment is a wood block stamp from Stampabilities.  I still love some of my old stamps from long ago.  

Next up...

I made this card using a stamp set from MFT.  A simple card, but with a wonderful sentiment!

That's all for now.  We need to scoot to the grocery store for food that we need for Christmas dinner.  It will be fairly simple this year since we are making a ham.  I hope you all have a very blessed Christmas and a happy healthy new year!

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today, take care!

Hugs!

Peace, Love, Joy!

Hi, Friends!

How are you doing on this fine Tuesday afternoon?  I'm still busy making Christmas cards, although I think I have most of them made.  A lot of the wrapping of gifts has been done and some baking.  And, speaking of wrapped gifts, I had one little sneaky animal in the house.  Our cat, Nicky, got into his gift that was wrapped with the other gifts on the table.  Hmmm...maybe he won't get any when his sis, Sheila, opens her gift this Christmas?  Next year I'll have to think of a new hiding place, lol!  I'm entering this card over at Stencil Fun Challenge.      

I did make a similar card to the one above and all die cuts and stencils are from Waffle Flower.  The set was so fun to make in different colors!

Here is the evidence from one little naughty kitty, lol!

Nicky says...I'm being good now!

Nicky loves the little red cardinal!  He has a lot of fun flipping it up in the air and chasing after it!  This is his second cardinal.  We have no idea what happened to the other one.  But. I suppose if he behaves I'll get him another one if I need to, lol!

Ok, that's all for now.  Take care and enjoy the rest of the week!  Thanks so much for dropping by today!

Hugs!

O Holy Night!

Hi, Friends!

Happy December!  Whew, the time is clicking away and it's getting closer to Christmas.  I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!  We went to our son's and he prepared a wonderful meal.  We stayed a few days and managed to get in some black friday Christmas shopping.  We had a great time and now it's time to think about all the Christmas preparations.  I wanted to finish up a couple cards this afternoon since I'll be seeing a couple friends this weekend.  I really do like the angel image and star arch die from Simon Says.  I've already made several of these cards, but in different colors.  I'm entering my card over at A Cut Above Challenge Blog.

Ok, I better scoot.  I told my husband that I'd be ready to set up the Christmas tree after I finish the last card and that was awhile ago.  Take care and thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care, hugs!

Hi, Friends!

I hope all is well your way!  I just wanted to pop in quick to share with you a card that I made for a friend.  I made the above card using dies from Pretty Pink Posh.  The sentiment is from Simon Says.  The embossed panel was gifted to me by my friend, Greta.  Thank you, Greta!  It was perfect for this card!  All dies were colored with copics.  Twine and dots to finish the card.

I had one more birthday celebration with my sisters last Saturday.  My sis, Christina, made a spice cake for me, so yummy!  It was a great time getting together with my sisters.  Yesterday, my hubby and I went to Amish Country.  Berlin, Ohio, where we did some Christmas shopping and ate a delicious lunch.  We visited our favorite bakery and brought home a red raspberry pie and a few tarts.  It's so peaceful and beautiful when we visit the area.  We chose a perfect day with the weather in the 60's.  Thursday we are to have wind and possibly snow flurries.  Brrrr...I am  not ready for winter!

Ok, well, I thank you for stopping by today!  Take care and have a great rest of the week!

Hugs!
