Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!

Well you will have to forgive me for being so long in between posts, but I was away for awhile. In Arizona. Hated to come back to the cold and actually would gladly go back. Our weather has been terrible. Seems like we have had SNOW everyday since I got home from Arizona on December 2. I did get a few cards made but have been so busy since I got home I haven't gotten any mailed. Shame on me. I'm hoping everyone will understand.

My daughter had a tumor on her pituitary gland and had surgery so I stayed with her while she recuperated. I have to admit she did very well - probably did not need my help, but - we did get a lot closer during this time, so that was good too.

Here's sending you all greetings for the holidays and blessings for your merriest Christmas and a Very Happy New Year.

I can’t begin to tell you how long it actually took me to cut out this word!! Opps, sorry, can’t do that!!! I didn’t have to cut a thing except for the Silver Elastic Cord and the cardstock! Woo hoo!!! This card features a new product in the Holiday Mini called the “On Board Trinkets Ornaments Kit” found on page 14. It contains 6 sheets of 9” by 9” chipboard with various words, images and shapes, along with 6 sheets of Designer Series Paper which are die cut to match the chipboard images! I will tell you, when I first saw it, I didn’t realize the Designer Series Paper was die cut, so I was really surprised when I opened my package. Now, while they are designed to be used an ornaments, they can also be used on a card as I have done here, on a scrapbook page, or even a tag for a gift! They are so easy, well, it’s kind of embarrassing – that’s how easy they are to make!

Don’t overlook this new product in the Holiday Mini – it’s a ton of fun for people of all ages!

Hum . . . I wonder what I can create next!
