Thank You and Some Tags

Happy Monday to you!

Before I get started, I want to thank all of you for the wonderful support given for my Moxie Fab post! I was overwhelmed by all the sweet comments I received from so many of you! Thank you very much! :)

I've had another busy weekend, mixed with work and fun. The real craziness begins tomorrow, with working the next five days. As you know, when you work in retail, Christmas week is a very busy one. I work on Christmas Eve, which is actually one of my favorite days to be at the store! Everyone is in a festive mood, smiling and happy. Each year, we also have live music. It consists of three older musicians, playing a cello, a violin and an accordion. They don't sing, they just play Christmas songs, and the customers love it. . . . . .so do I!

Today I have a couple of tags to show you. Very simple design because I'm running out of time to get everything done! I needed 6 more tags for some gifts that will be wrapped in red and white, striped paper. Thought these would work perfectly, and so easy!


I also have a photo to share today. For the last 20 years or so, all the gals in my family have gotten together for our annual ornament exchanging party. It started out years ago with just my sisters and mom, but as my nieces grew older, we wanted to include them too. It was always held at my mom's house, and without her now, for the past two years, it has been held at one of my niece's homes. I have three sisters, two sister-in-laws and eight nieces. Counting me, that's a total of fourteen of us. We have such a great time together, catching up and lots of laughing! Here's a group shot.




Top row, all the way to the right, is me, (in case you can't tell.)

Okay, that's it for now. I'm not sure if I'll have much time to check out blogs or comment on Flickr this week, so just in case my comments get few and far between, I want to wish all of you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!! :)

Pinch Me, I'm Dreaming!

Hi everyone!

I have some REALLY exciting news to share. Unbelievable news, actually. I still don't believe it myself, but it's happening, and it is sooo cool! Are ya ready. . . . . . .? Wait for it. . . . .Wait. . . . . . .Okay, now scroll down . . . . . . . . .











I am the MOXIE FABBER OF THE WEEK!! Is that just crazy, or what!? I couldn't believe it when I received the email from Cath! I was so surprised and totally honored - I mean, come on - ME? She was so sweet when we exchanged emails, and I want to say a special thank you to her for putting my mind at ease and making me feel deserving of the honor. (If you know me well, you know I was a bit nervous about the whole thing.)

It sure has been difficult trying to keep this a secret too! Oh, I wanted to tell so many of you! But the day is FINALLY here, and I would really love it if you could stop over at the Moxie Fab World blog and take a look. Without all of you, and your wonderful inspiration, I wouldn't even be creating cards, so thank you all so much!

One more thing. If you are new to my blog, welcome! I invite you to have a look around and if you like what you see, I'd love it if you'd become a follower. I'm close to 200 now, and when I reach that number, I'm planning on doing a little giveaway to celebrate!

Thanks again everyone! Hugs! :)
