Saturday Quote......good advice :)

A totally free day.  Hmmmm......how did that happen?  (I hope I'm not forgetting something important!)   I think I'll spend some time in the stamp room to start.  Then who knows.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - I stamped the trees in the background and then embossed the entire panel.  The larger trees are die cut.  The 'noel' is die cut letters attached to a piece of vellum.  

Not sure what I'm doing today.  Need to make more peanut brittle and wrap some gifts, but not sure that's quite what I'm in the mood for!  We'll see.  Tonight I'm having dinner with a friend.   

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - a pillow I just finished -  the only handmade Christmas gift I made this year.

Don't really have a plan for today.  Maybe just an r & r day.  A Christmas movie, a nap or a book - or maybe all three!

Have a wonderful day!

Saturday Quote........lol - would have been true for me this year, as usual, but my friends and I decided to do 'presence' instead of 'presents'  this year.  

Nothing to do today - what???    The Christmas cards have been mailed and  my shopping is done......now what?   I really have no plan - guess I'll see what I can think of when the sun comes up and I've had a bit more caffeine  :)   

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a super simple on.  The strip on the left side is just a piece of card stock that I embossed and added to the background.  The pine stem is die cut with an added bow.  Sentiment is stamped directly on the background piece.  So easy!

A few odds and ends to finish up today.  The Christmas cards are ready to mail as soon as the postage stamps get here and the class stuff is ready for next week!  I'm feeling pretty on top of things!  LOL - that will change when I realize how much more there is to do.  

Have a wonderful day!
