HEY!

Good morning... Well -
It is morning as I begin to post this but it may be afternoon before I am finished....
I have not been very faithful here this past week ... Hope I'm forgiven! I have been busy with "stuff", made a day trip to the Valley - you know we had to be there when the new Michael's store opened! .... bought some great beads; a MS punch; visited a Santa's Discount Store and purchased Christmas napkins and bags... [You know Christmas is only about 73 days away!!!!]
And had lots of laughs with the girls! In amongst all that I've not felt 100% .... but "the beat goes on."

I plan on getting my craft table cleaned off this afternoon - I have a club to prepare for so I better get in the groove again!

Here is another Christmas swap - last but not least!

ummmmm .... having a little trouble getting to the card... what's up? Someone commented the other day that they were having the same issue .... blogger has made changes ... why do people think they have to keep changing something? "If it ain't broke don't fix it"!!!

Sorry for the rant! :)

This was created by Leena Girsa - This is simple but very elegant... you can check out her blog at http://alacards.blogspot.com/

Have a great day! May the Son be shining in your heart today!

Still More Swaps...

Good Morning.... 

Thanksgiving (in Canada) is just around the corner ... how did that happen?  So for hubby - his mind is totally consumed with getting the turkeys slaughtered (I hate that word - wish there was a nicer way to say it) - but - it is what it is ...

Here's a cartoon that makes me chuckle everytime I see it!!

Here are 2 more Swaps I received from S. Up! demos in Canada - This one is the work of  Laura Wilson in Manitoba...

and this one is by Leena Girsa at http://alacards.blogspot.com/ (you might want to check her blog for some inspiration)...

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great week --- and keep happy thoughts in your heart!

Blessings!

Christmas Swaps #1

Hey all!
Sorry it took me so long to get back here.... Wednesday and today have passed by like a whirlwind!
Here are some of the card front swaps I received the other day... Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

These first 2 have no info on them as to who made them....

 This one was designed by Jenni Daniels in Saskatchewan... she has used the new glass glitter in the middle of the snowflakes .... I like it here!

Thanks for peeking!
I 'll have a couple more for you ... probably on Saturday! Tomorrow [Friday] is a day of retreat for me.... I have some praying & studying to do as well as some reading for pleasure - so I'm turning on the Praise and Worhsip music; making a big pot of coffee; and locking the door... Hubby goes to work at 11 and gets home around 9 p.m. .... so the day is mine!

Blessings!
Ruthie
