My Favorite Gift and Some Cards

Happy Sunday!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! My hubby gave me some awesome gifts this year! I got a gift card from Archiver's. . .YAY! My oldest son gave me one too, so I see a fun shopping trip coming in my near future! :) I also got a big, hard-cover book, filled with card ideas. . .Love it!


But my favorite gift that my hubby gave me is this:

I have always wanted one of these and it is so cool! He picked it out all by himself. The size, what it says and the font too. I think he did a pretty good job! Thank you, honey! :)



I had the chance to play a bit this past weekend too, and made a card for a friend.

I used the new Leaf Cluster cling from Hero Arts and lots of glittery Stickles.



I also made a couple of thank you cards for the Hero Arts challenge this month. This one is with the new Hand Drawn Flower, stamped on patterned paper. Very simple card.




And for this one I used the new Flower Bird Garden stamp. I decided to do the embossed, layered resist technique and I really like the way it turned out.




I have five more days of work, then I have nine days off! Not traveling anywhere, just time away from work. My favorite kind of vacation! Have a good start to the week and thanks for stopping by! :)

Merry Christmas!

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

I am working all day today (Thursday) and will be doing the same tomorrow (Christmas Eve) until 4:00pm. We will then head over to my sister's house to have a fabulous dinner, open gifts, talk, laugh and simply enjoy each other! Christmas day will be spent at home with my boys and hubby. A nice quiet day to relax and do NOTHING! Can't wait! It's been a crazy, busy couple of weeks!


I'm missing my mom quite a lot these days and am so grateful to have family and friends, both here at home and all over the world because of this wonderful, shared hobby of ours! I feel very blessed to have met so many amazing, generous, kind and fun people like all of you! Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such wonderful comments! I appreciate your kindness!

Love and hugs to everyone and Merry, Merry Christmas! :)
