Taking A Break

Hey friends! Happy New Year!
If you've stopped by lately, you've seen that I have not posted for awhile. Life is just too crazy!
I've decided to take a break from "Blog Land" for awhile.
I keep hearing this little small voice telling me to spend more time on HIM---studying His word and really getting to know Him. So that's what I'm going to do!
I'll check in every once in awhile and will post again----sometime.
Hugs and God Bless!

Let It Snow


Merry Christmas Eve!
What a glorious time of the year! Abeit crazy busy, it's still wonderful! Hopefully by now, we are all mostly done with all the "THINGS" that have to be done and we can reflect on Jesus' birth. My family and I are going to the children's service at our church later this afternoon and then to my son's home for Christmas Eve dinner. Christmas Day we'll be going to my daughter's home to watch the grandkids open presents---I can't imagine anything better than to be with family right now! Hope whatever you are doing, I pray you are warm, happy and healthy this Christmas season!
Today I have a card (one of two) that I submitted to Heartfelt Creations sometime back for consideration for their Design Team. Althought I did not make the team, I enjoyed working with their stamps and dies. I don't think this card shows up very well in the photograph, but it's very sparkly and "snowy" in reality.

Merry Christmas!

For a second post today, I have a new image from A Day For Daisies. Every Friday, Tammy comes up with the most adorable new images and this is one from this week's new ones.

ADFD "Wrapping" Up The Tree


Happy Friday! Today I'm actually in New York City with several members of my family celebrating my 60th birthday! I have always hated these "milestone" birthdays but this one I am actually excited about and I've been celebrating since last Sat. nite with a little family dinner at my daughter's house, and Sunday nite, we went to Disney's Mickey's Christmas Party with my two Florida grandchildren---what a wonderful thing to "see" Disney thur the eyes of a child!!!
Anyhoo, today I have a card for A Day For Daisies challenge #7 "Using Wrapping Paper". I took a few liberties with that theme and named mine "Wrapping Up The Tree". Jump on over to the site and play along and also every Friday, Tammy releases new digital images and gives a good discount on that first day.
