The card - snowflakes are stamped on the smaller panel.  Circles are die cut from patterned paper and then cut in half.  I attached the top ones first and then lined the bottom halves up with the top.  Sentiment strip is added on top.

'Grandma time' today.  That's all.  (no partying for me tonight:)  

Have a wonderful day!

Circle is die cut and popped up. Background stems are die cut from vellum , pine leaves are die cut from card stock.  Added ribbon and a sentiment.  Easy peasy.

More 'Grandma time' today.  That's all.

Have a great day!

'Grandma time' with both boys today (and the rest of the week! Daycare is closed this week)  Celebrating Sara's birthday tonight - an easy one - pizza and salad!

Starting to put up the winter decorations.  The Christmas decorations are down but not put away yet....actually they're piled all over the classroom.   Getting the mess cleaned up and the Christmas stuff put away is my job today!   (It's way more fun to put it up than it is to take it down :)

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday 

A bit of a different year for Christmas celebrations, but thankful and blessed with a wonderful day with family.  We missed our extended family and friends, but it was a great day and Hudson was so much fun!  Now it's time for me to take down the Christmas decorations and put up the winter stuff.  That's my goal for the weekend!!!

Have a great day!

Wishing you all

Merry 

Christmas!

And 'the hat' is finally finished!!!!Whew - glad that is done.  Not doing cables again anytime soon - 😏

Made sugared peanuts yesterday, making peanut brittle today.   That's it.

Have a wonderful day!

Crafty Saturday - I started this wool applique project way back at the beginning of the shutdown.  Couldn't finish it at the time because all the fabric stores were closed and I needed the material for the border!  I finally got around to finishing it a  couple weeks ago so I was able to give it away for a Christmas gift.  

Almost have 'the hat' done!  I should be able to finish it up today!  Woo hoo!  

Have a great day!

The card - strip at the bottom is patterned paper.  The greenery is stamped behind the bell.  Bell ornament is die cut and popped up with some added ribbon.    An easy one!

'Grandma time' today with Ethan.  A Christmas dinner with a couple of friends tonight!  Sure have missed having my Christmas parties/get togethers this year!  But, better safe than sorry!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - greenery (Hero Arts) is stamped directly on the background panel.  The ornament is a die cut (Memory Box).  Easy peasy!

It's time to do some house cleaning.  Too many dust bunnies have accumulated since I last was motivated to clean!  Looking forward to an evening of stitching with friends tonight (although I will be working on 'the hat', not stitching :)

Have a terrific day!

The card - I attached the piece of silver paper to the card front and then embossed the entire piece.  The sentiment piece is die cut and popped up.  Added a bit of bling.  Pretty darn easy!

I think I have all my Christmas shopping done!  Still have to make more peanut brittle, but I feel like I'm pretty much caught up - except for 'the hat'.  Back to work on that today!  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - circle, snowflakes and stems are all die cut.  Added a bit of bling and a sentiment.  Super easy!

A couple of errands this morning and then it's back to work on 'the hat'!   I would be a little further along if I hadn't had to rip out several rows last night - bummer!  Oh well, that's usually the name of the game when I knit - lol!  

Have a great day!

The card - the poinsettia (SU) is stamped on vellum with versa mark, heat embossed with white, die cut , layered and popped up on the card front. The joy was also heat embossed.

'Grandma time' with Hudson today.  That's all.

Crafty Sunday - wool applique done on toweling.  Made 2 of these pillows for Christmas gifts.

Working on Jeff's hat (that's going to be a daily thing, probably every day until Christmas!). Looking forward to a lunch break with a friend!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - my friend Ann made these cute hats for the boys.  She is awesome!  Thanks so much Ann!  

Have to finish up a wool applique piece today for a Christmas gift.  Then, Jeff liked the boys hats so much he said he wanted one - so.....I'm going to try and make him one.  This could be a real challenge!  But I need to get started on it if I have any chance of finishing it before Christmas!!!

Have a wonderful day!
