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 - 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!

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!

The card - the trees are made with SU's pennant stamp set.  Sentiment is from Hero Arts. Background embossing folder is from SU.   Colors are kraft, vanilla, cherry cobbler and artichoke.

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!

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!

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!
