Dear Friends, Merry Christmas!

 
 

Dear Friends, Merry Christmas!

Are you putting the finishing touches on your
Christmas preparations?  I thought I'd take a
little break this morning and look over at my
my favorite challenge site, The Shabby Tea Room!
What a fun challenge that is going on this week!
You are to choose your favorite project for this past
year that was entered on that challenge site! 


This card has a lot of my favorite items!  I used to have
fun doing cross stitching(before card making:-), so
it has aida cloth with some stitching.  There is text
background, doilies from Amish country, seam
binding.  Some more favs of mine are buttons, gems,
and gorgeous Prima flowers!  What is your favorite
card of the year?  I just love looking in blog land
and revisiting favorite cards of the year!

OK, I better scoot and make the pies and cranberry
salad.  My baking is done except for the pies. 
Yesterday, after my husband and son returned
home from seeing a movie, they saw some
scruptious candies of buckeyes, chocolate
covered pretzels, chocolate haystacks, and Russian
tea cakes..mmmmm!  I thank you so much for
dropping by today!  May you have a wonderful
blessed Christmas and joyous New Year, hugs!

  16. So beautiful, Maria. I used to do some cross stitch, too, and remember the Aida cloth. Then, went to needlepoint. Unfortunately, I can't do that anymore for making cards. LOL

    Have a wonderful New Year filled with happiness and good health.
