The card - super simple - the strip is a border embossing folder Cuttlebug.  Just added a snowflake die cut on top of the strip.  Sentiment is from SU.  Colors are wisteria and concord.

Went to see Mission Impossible yesterday - very entertaining (of course I could be entertained just watching Tom Cuise!)  But it was a fun movie.  Now it's time to actually get some work done I think.  Still have to finish taking down the Christmas decorations and my stamp room is a disaster area all on it's own.  So, those two things are at the top of my list of things to do today.

Enjoy your day!

The card - snowflakes are from Hero Arts.  They are embossed in white on pool party squares.  Colors are pool party and white.

Off to a hair appointment this morning and then a movie with Judy D this afternoon.  Should be a nice relaxing day. 

Have a great day!

The card - a super simple one.  Snowmen are from SU. Sentiment is Hero Arts. 

My original plan today was to get the Chrismas decorations taken down.....but...today is Sara's (my dughter-in-law) birthday and I had given her the choice of going out for dinner or I would cook.   She choose a  home cooked meal (tacos and enchiladas) so that means a trip to the grocery store this morning.  (I was sure she was going to choose going out for dinner ...I guessed wrong!)  So, I will be shopping and cooking today.......maybe I can get a start on the Christmas decorations.....but if not there is always tomorrow.

Have a wonderful day!  

The card - stamped image is from Northwoods Rubber Stamps.  I colored the trees and sky with copics.

It's been too long.......since I've done any stamping that is.  So today is going to be a stamping day and since Judy S will be joining me for part of the day maybe I can stay focused and get a lot done :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - snowman is from Stamps by Judith.  Embossing folder is SU.

I hope everyone had a great day yesterday - I certainly did!    Now it's time to get my house back into some sort of order - whew - pretty much looks like a cyclone went through here.  

Have a great day!

Wishing you

peace,

health

and happiness.

Merry Christmas

Photo Saturday - sunrise Wednesday morning.


The shopping is done, the gifts are wrapped, the last batch of peanut brittle is made......now just a trip to the bakery and grocery for a couple of last minute items and I am good to go!   A little football (Go Broncos!) and then dinner out with Jeff & Sara, Bob & Judy and a drive to look at Christmas lights.  Aw....Life is Good!

Have a wonderful Christmas Eve!

Time to get the presents wrapped and make one more batch of peanut brittle.   (it was going to be 2 batches until I discovered that there appears to be a shortage of raw peanuts and there is none to be had anywhere in town! So I will have to stretch the last batch since I only have one bag of peanuts left :) 

Have a wonderful day!

Stamped images are from SU.  Embossing folder is from Hobby Lobby.  Colors are real red and white.

Photo Saturday - this is another shot of the Ouray Ice Park.  (last week's picture was from the same place)  The ice here is all man-made.  They use sprinklers to make these ice formations and it is a popular spot for ice climbers.  They have a big ice climbing event in January.   Really a beautiful sight to see. 

A crop day today - at least part of the Good Time Girls will be here!  I'm hoping to finish up Jeff & Sara's guest book today.

Have a wonderful day!

Have a wonderful day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - love this funky snowman from Stamps by Judith.  Embossing folder is from Cuttlebug. 

Have to get my utility room cleaned up this morning - I was working on a sewing project last night and made a mess (nothing unusual about that :) but they are delivering my new washer and dryer this morning (I hope!) so I better get it picked up.  Then it's on to the rest of the house since I have a Christmas get-together here tonight. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped tree is from SU.  Circle stamp is from Paper Inspirations.  Colors are artichoke and whie.

Ah, looking a bit more like Christmas this morning - a little dusting of snow on the ground!   Judy S and I are planning a shopping day so I guess I better get out and shovel the snow so I can be ready to go to breakfast and do some Christmas shopping.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  Colors are artichoke and white. 

Most of the Christmas cards are done and ready to mail.  Yay!  I do have a few left that have to be put together, but I ran out of ribbon so I have to borrow some from my friend Deb. 

I had thought that having to buy a new computer so close to Christmas was not the best thing, but at least a new computer is kind of a fun thing!  But having to replace the washing machine ......not so much!  Yep, it sprung a leak yesterday so I had to go buy a new one.  Dang, not good timing!  Oh well, such is life! 

Have some gift things I need to work on today.  So, I'm off to be crafty!

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - this is the Winter class project we did last week. 

Ah ha - I actually made some progress yesterday.  Got my Christmas cards figured out and my Christmas letter done!  Now it's just a matter of stamping, cutting and putting together 80 of the cards.  Guess what I'm doing today!

Enjoy your day.

Photo Saturday - a bit of winter in Ouray, Colorado.

My mission today is to actually figure out what I'm doing for Christmas cards - didn't make any progress yesterday, so it's back to the drawing board today.   

Have a great day!

Having issues with the placement this morning - can't get the picture or the writing where I want it- oh well, guess this works as well. 

Think I will try to work on my Christmas letter today.  Still need to figure out my Christmas card too - and I don't have a clue for either one.  Hopefully inspiration will come!

Enjoy your day!

I was gone for half the day doing errands yesterday, then Jeff came by and was here for a couple of hours and I still managed to make a total mess in half the house in what was left of the day.  Now, how the heck did that happen?   I guess I better get it cleaned up since we have our Shoebox Club tonight. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  Colors are vanilla, kraft and black.

Need to go do errands today - have stuff I need to get before Shoebox tomorrow night.  And it is supposed to be a bit warmer today - thank goodness.  Temperatures in the single digits are just not my cup of tea!

Time to get the basement cleaned up and ready for class tonight.

So this is what my basement/classroom area looks like with 30 people stamping, making cards, eating and chatting.  The card making was pretty much done by this time and most people had moved on to the food.  It was a great night!

Today's goal is to get my class projects cut and bagged for this week's classes.  

Have a wonderful day!

Enjoy your day!
