Merry Christmas!


Hi there!

I hope you're having a good start to the weekend!  How's all those Christmas preparations going for you?  This is certainly a very busy time of year for everyone.  The tree is up today as are many decorations.  This evening I made chex mix and made cookie dough to chill in the fridge overnight to bake for tomorrow.  I needed to take a break from the hustle and bustle, so I decided to make a card for City Crafter Challenge.  I knew exactly what stamp to use, which is from Close to My Heart.  The sentiment is from PTI.  The glittery bow is from Crate Paper...love those pretty little bows!  And, here is my card...

 
 
Well, that's all I have for now except to remind you that I'll be drawing names tomorrow regarding my post on 12-2-14 Visions of Sugarplums.  Below is the collection of goodies for one lucky winner...good luck!
 


Thanks so much for dropping by!  Have a great weekend!

Hugs,
Maria
