The cards - look at this!  These are the cards I made on Sunday.  18 Christmas cards in one day!  Super simple layouts using patterned paper  (49 and Market), rub-ons or a stamped sentiment and sometimes an added die cut border.  I felt very productive!

Today I'm meeting a friend for breakfast and then I need to come home and concentrate on  getting this month's card class stuff done!  That's my goal for today!

Have a wonderful day!

I think the colder weather is here to stay - that means I probably need to dig the warmer clothes out and put the flip flops away :(   Thinking about tackling that job today (so far just thinking, not doing).  The boys will be here later this afternoon to spend the night  - something to look forward to!
