Merry Christmas everyone I know I have been a real Bah Humbag this year but I just want to say I am grateful for the birth of our Savior. I have been busy with last minute shopping and spending time with my son Brenten who is here for about two weeks. Best present ever. I promise I will do better at keeping in touch next year and since I am taking a little down time from one of my jobs, hopefully be able to spend some time at my fave pastime MAKING CARDS!!!!! Have a great holiday and I will see you in the new year.

Only 10 more days until Christmas. I can't believe it. I am almost done with shopping. Mostly just gift cards and then let the wrapping begins. I never know what to get my older grandchildren so they get gift cards and then they can get what they want. Hopefully I can find time to get my hair cut before I need a dog collar. LOL. It has been quite a while and if I don't do it soon, I will do it myself and that is not a pretty sight. Anyway off to start the day.

Want this badge?

Christmas is only 21 days away. HELP!!!!! I can't believe that Christmas is only 3 weeks away. I feel totally unmotivated. I told myself that I would get Christmas cards made and I am only about half way done. LOL. I guess the best laid plans right? Anyway, last Thursday, my son-in-law called and said he had tickets to the Forgotten Carols, one of my favorite Christmas Musicals. He asked if I wanted to go. Boy did I. Had a great time going to the VIP Reception and than to the play. Second row seats too. Didn't get a lot of sleep but I didn't mind. Trying to get the house cleaned up and everything ready for the holidays.

So here it is, November 19. I spent the morning with my two granddaughters doing projects at Archiver's. I am trying to find the time to make Christmas cards but with two jobs and kids it is hard of hard. I plan to spend Thanksgiving weekend doing what I love. So maybe I will have something to show you. Can't believe Christmas is a little over a month away. WOW!!!!. Not at all ready but oh well.

Fall is coming

Here it is, September 17 and it is starting to feel like Fall. Time to think about Halloween and leaves changing and hot chocolate in the morning. I am going to be busy with work and kids but I will try to write more.

I have been experimenting with copic markers. For those who don't know what they are, copic markers are alcohol based markers that you can blend to get a more textured look to your images. I started using them almost a year ago and I love them. I use them for just about everything. The image is a stamp that I have had for several years. I colored them of course with copic markers and then backed it with blue paper. The background was made with another stamp I have had for a while with clear resist ink and dusted with perfect pearl dust in sky blue. The cords are Mizuhiki cord. I like the look of this card. I found it be very soothing. I hope you enjoy
