Merry Christmas

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and spent time with their family and friends.  My sister and I had a wonderful Christmas and I am very blessed to have her in my life.  Of course, Howard and Abby were very good kids and Santa Claus was very good to them. I'll post some pictures later, but for now its back to work.  At least its a short week!

Christmas Cards from our Stamp-A-Stack

Jen and I attended a Christmas Card making workshop held by our friend Sariela.  All designs are hers -- I just copied and made the cards -- which I think are beautiful.  Hope you enjoy.

Christmas Trees

I saw these in ScrapbooksEtc magazine and knew I wanted to try to make them.  I think they're adorable and pretty simple to make.

Long time, no posts

I think I can safely say I'm home for the rest of the year -- just in time for the rush of the holidays!

Here are the last pictures from the Shoebox Swap back in October.  I can't believe I didn't have time to post them.  Since then I've also had a weekend scrapbook retreat and a Stamp A Stack of Christmas cards.  I'll try to get pictures and post them this week.


Loved the SU tinsel -- didn't think I would - but it's a MUST have.

Cards from the Shoebox Swap

Wow - I can't believe it's already November.  I've been in Kansas for a week and am back to West Palm Beach next week.  Here are a few more cards from the Shoebox Swap in October.  Again, I didn't design the cards -- I did make them -- but they are beautiful and wanted to share.

Stuck in Palm Beach

So, I'm finishing up a business trip to West Palm Beach, Florida with flight out at 5:25pm today, and what happens -- a severe storm in Atlanta -- right now we're looking at an 8:30 departure.... so far, they're holding my connecting flight to Dayton -- backing it up to 10:46.  Since I'm stuck and tired of working, I thought I'd post a couple more cards made at the Shoe Box Swap.  I didn't design the cards just made them and do not have the name of the creator.

Shoebox Swap Cards

I was finally able to take some pictures of the cards from the Shoebox Swap Jennifer and I attended a couple weekends ago.  I can't find my camera so I'm using hers and I'm not the best with it.  This is one of the cards we designed -- hope you like.
