One Layer Christmas

Hi All! :)

I'm so glad you stopped by my poor little, neglected blog today! I promise you when this move is over with, I'll get back to "business" ;)
We have found a new house! We have it planned to close the same day as the one we're currently living in. That's going to be a challenge getting out of this house and having all our belongings in a UHaul truck, going and closing on both houses, then going to unload the UHaul at the new house!!!! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STRESSED!!!!!
I have been getting major migraines. I'm a worrier though so it shouldn't be a surprise to me that I'm feeling yucky, stressed, overwhelmed, weepy, etc, etc..... Oh Well, it'll all be over in 2 weeks...................I hope.

Anyway, getting to the craftiness......

Today, over on the SU-Only Challenge Blog, we're making Clean and Simple Christmas cards! Come join us! We would love to see you there!!!!

My card is really, really, simple. I added some SU pearls to the middles of my snowflakes and used my paper cutter to score 2 lines at the bottom under my sentiment.

Each year I make around 75 Christmas cards. So, I make really simple Christmas cards. I don't know if I'll use this layout for all of them but I will use this card for some that I send.

Again, thanks for hanging with me through my "life events"! You are the BEST!!!!

Until next time...
Blessings...

I'm Here! So Sorry to be Gone so Long!

Hey ladies!

I can't believe it's been 3 weeks since I last posted! I'm so sorry!
Lots and lots of things have gotten in the way of blog"y"land...
We're selling our house! The closing is next month. The first people that looked at it, made an offer!!!! WOW! It's been a whirlwind to say the least, because now.......WE GOTTA FIND SOMEWHERE TO LIVE HELLO!!!!!! Oh my goodness I do not know how people that flip houses and live there then sell and buy another house to flip and live there then sell do it! This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Stressful!!!

Anyway, I've got all my craft stuff stored away and I'm feeling sad about that. SUO Challenge blog this week is to make a Thanksgiving table setting or something to go on your table for Thanksgiving. Pretty cool challenge huh?! So, for this challenge I dug out some Fall stamps, ink and card stock. Here's what I did...


I love candles and I love making wraps for them!
I hope you like them...

Thanks for visiting me today!

Until next time...
Blessings...
