May your days be filled with love, joy and laughter.

Hello everyone!
The nativity is out!
Out, but not set up!
I'll fit it in!
I'm going out with the GF's tomorrow for supper.
Then to a friends house to put together the bags for Daddy & Me at the library Thursday night!
I tried to find a link, but of course I failed!
The dads bring the kids, and P & I help them write a letter to Santa, that he answers right away!
We print it out, and the dads read it to them!
Mrs. Claus serves cookies & milk, and the librarian reads all sorts of Christmas stories!
Friends of the library originally were the helpers when we started, now it's just me & P!
Makes me laugh...one year a 5 year old girl wanted a mechanical bull! hahahahaha

Yesterday morning the outdoor furnace was out!
Oh bother! I was outside at 6:15 am!
Ray had to go to work!
I was late for work (I texted the boss); Kalen said, "That sucks" later in a text.
I told him; in the book of AWESOME it was 'awesome it wasn't -40'!
I have a theory!
I think Ray places the wood in the stove too neatly.
It's piled up just so, and can't breathe!
I toss my wheelbarrel full in haphazardly, and pack it to the rafters, and as long as it's in, and not in the way of the fan, it's good to go!

I've made some cards for SAS4K's.
Been working on some birthday cards!
Did some for girls.



Then I got these cute Popcorn the Bear 3-D die cuts from Scrap & Stamp and played with them!



It's a 5 X 7 card. I used my new Bow Easy (how do you get your bows tight?), and a new die cut for the sentiment, which I embossed.
I have several more of Popcorn the Bear.
Each sheet makes 4 scenes!
I'm hoping they'll be good for younger boys!

Then I'm going to make some Valentine's cards!
Gotta send my aunt some recipes for Christmas.
Oh, I'll gitter er done!
(In the words of Larry the Cable Guy)
Better go.
Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

I really like your birthday cards. The colors and the bling make them so girly.
I don't have a bow easy, but I make the same kind of bow using either my fingers for larger bows or a jig I made with a couple chop sticks attached to a small piece of wood. I usually don't have trouble getting the bows tight. I jsut keep tugging on the end that I have tied the knot with and keep adjusting until it is as tight as I want it. I love the look of these bows and would never go back to making regular bows. If I am using wide ribbon, I will use a very fine piece of wire and scrunch up the flat background ribbon to make it look like it is actually tied. I use a pop dot to add the bow.
