It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas...

... Everywhere [ I ] go

There is absolutely no escaping it, christmas is once again upon us. Yes, yes, I know it's only the middle of November but stores EVERYWHERE are all decked up for the holidays. Can you believe people have already bought all their christmas gifts?!? I haven't and to be totally honest, I love the busy malls and crazy shopping experience that December is. People who complain about it have clearly forgotten what christmas is (granted it's not about gifts at all). I walk into a mall see the thousands of people shopping and smile because it's fun! Any-who I've been in the christmas spirit and working on some card ideas. These cards are NOT the ones I am mailing to everyone so I can safely post them.wink. wink. 

  

Have a good weekend everyone!! And if you are watching the UFC...lets go GSP!!!

Remember...

November 11, 2012...Today is a special day. Today we remember all those who have fought for us, died for us, and continue to fight for us. Today we remember the war of 1812, a war fought 100 years ago. Today we remember families that have lost loved ones. Today we remember those who are less fortunate then us. Today we share moments of silence. Today we are grateful. Today we do not forget. Today we simply remember.

It's That Time of Year Again...

Well, it's that time of year again where crafters a like start planning and creating their x-mas cards. I usually send my cards out first week of December so I like to have them completed before hand. Not to mention that it usually takes me a while to get motivated and I have excellent intentions of sending cards out to everyone, but the time, effort, and pain of hunting everyone's address usually equals me only making a handful of cards. Sorry to my family and friends who have not gotten cards and are reading this. I promise to make it up to you this year because I have gotten a huge head start on the card making. Plus, I'm keeping them simple this year and following the principle "less is more"; so far less really is more.

I was going to post a picture of my card so far, but I've changed my mind. I am going to keep it a secret until I mail them out :) I will leave you with this teaser for now...

Excuse the blurry picture. It's dark in my craft room and I was too lazy to get out my tripod :)
