The card - stamped image is from SU. Card and mats are all vanilla.  Card mat was embossed after sentiment was samped.

The Christmas shopping is all done - woo hoo!  I have a couple of handmade things to finish and more peanut brittle to make, but that's about it.  So, today I'm taking a break and Judy S and I are going to Delta for lunch and some scrapbook shopping at The Scrappy Moose.  Fun!

Enjoy your day!

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!

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!

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!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  Sentiment is Hero Arts.  Colors are cherry cobbler, kraft, and espresso. 

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!

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!

Not sure what my plan is for the day.  Have to get ready for class tonight but then I'll have to see what I should start on next.

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!

The Christmas card class event went very well last night.  I just have to say that I have the best group of students ever!  They make me laugh and they are always so appreciative.  So, a big thank you to each and every one of them for making it all worth while!!!!

Enjoy your day!
