Night before Christmas

Was the Night before Christmas and the soldier was watching to see if Santa would arrive. I am sure Sophie and Grace are wondering as they are so far from home.  But Grandma has assured them that Santa knows they are here.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas,  drive safe during this busy time. This is the time we celebrate the birth of Jesus, remember this is the reason for the season...

Needed gift certificates

Needed some certificates so managed to get these made.  I really hope I can get with the program so to speak with the coming of the new year.  I do apologize to those regular followers I have been really terrible this month.

I Got New Toys

First let me let me say how sorry I am to all my followers that I have not posted as regularly as I usually do.  My only excuse is life, it gets in the way a bit.  I have some new products from the upcoming Spring and Summer catalog as well as the Sale a Bration flyer.  So now just find some time to play...
We got a lot of snow last night so those in our area remember to drive safe there is so much more busy traffic with the Christmas season .

Pages to do

Every year at Christmas I make four calenders and I still need to complete five more pages.  So with December around the corner I have lots of work ahead of me BUT it will get done.  Yes it will if I keep telling my self that I will make it come true..

No Peeking

It seems life is in the way of my stamping lately so here are some tags I made earlier in the year.  Using No Peeking (126290) I feel in love with this set when the 2012-2013 catalog was released.  I have used punches, markers, dies and ribbons to do these.

Craft Sale Purchase

I bought this centerpiece for my table..  Time to start   thinking about decorating for Christmas.  We have had a little more snow and to go with it a little more ice...  So remember to drive safely everyone.
