More Guests!

Good Morning All!
It's another cold windy day! Makes me want to stay close to the fire with a good book, or a movie.
Last night some "crafty" buddies came over for a "get-together" - of course, there was lots of food and laughs, and a nice relaxing time was had by all!

Here is a Christmas card from,Cindy. You go girl! Love how she used the DSP here... This is a box of homemade candy (UMMMMMM) from Debra - she is the "Queen" of boxes and tags! I was so eager to get into it I forgot to take a pic of it all tied up in a bow! Hope you can imagine how pretty it was!

Debbie brought each gal a little gift ... a cup filled with goodies and her special cider packets! How cool is that?

Stay warm and safe!

Only 7 more sleeps!

Whoa!

Is that right??????

Yah!

7 more... oh my - hope you're ready!

A Guest; and "Zentangle"

Wow!
This was a COOOOOOOLD one wasn't it?
And windy!!!
It feels good to be inside with the wood keeping me warm!
Here is a Christmas card we received today - clean and simple ... love this angel and babe embossed in gold!
Thanks Gary & Myra!
Have you ever heard of a Zentangle? [zen = relaxation; tangle = doodle] Don't recall how I happened upon this the other day but it has captured my attention ... I love to doodle. I cannot draw - am not an artist ... but "doodle I do"! I watched a few videos about using doodling in scrapbooking and card making, and decided to give this a try. I am making long full-year calendars for people - just a simple thing to add to a gift - can be used as a book mark - instead of covering the back with CS and embellishing I decided to "doodle" on them before I laminate.
I just had a blast doing this one! My first!
You may think I've gone a little around the bend but - hey! that's OK!
Zentangles are an art form and I intend to pursure this over the next few months - I'll keep you informed of my progress - or lack thereof! :)
Here is my first sample ---Hope you enjoyed your peek here today and had a little chuckle in the process! Merry Christmas!

Cards I've rec'd

Hi everyone...
It's another wet day ... sure doesn't look like Christmas around us here in our little part of the world, does it? Thankfully the weather doesn't dictate to us ---- I hope you all have an abundance of Christmas Spirit in your hearts.
Here are some cards I've received lately....
This one is from Coralie -- Nice job, Girl!!!!

This is the front of Bonnie's - every year she does a handmade card with a beautiful note in side... this year she crossed stitched an angel - gorgeous!

Love this one from Gail. Isn't it interesting how we all have a "signature" to our card making style! I love the simple elegance of this card! Thanks, Gail! You rock!

Hope you enjoyed your little peek here today!

I've been slowly working with my new "stuff" - will have more to show you tomorrow!

Stay well!

Blessings and hugs!

Guests today!

Hi everyone...
Yesterday afternoon I had a "play-date" with a friend... we made cards all afternoon... and I forgot my camera, so no pics to show you of our creations! Go figure! It was quite fun playing with someone else's stash of paper and stamps!
I do have a couple pics of some of the cards I rec'd for my birthday! Hope you enjoy! There are lots of talented, creative ladies out there!


Have a great day - may the sun be shining in your heart even tho it's another foggy, gloomy day!
