"Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude." —Ralph Marston

It's that time of year!
I have not done all the baking I wanted to!
I have decided to go see the kids in the spring, so am saving it for then.
They'll get a really big care package!
I have made some Christmas cards!
I'll show them to you so you can get on with your day!
 I pilfered a Santa image off the internet(Kalen said the internet police will be knocking on my door), because that's what Bryson wanted on his Christmas card!

He loves excavators, so I messaged my friend up in Manning, whose dad does amazing woodwork!
An e-transfer later, it was delivered to Vanessa's work!

Apparently it was a hit with the 'BIG' boys at her work!
Here's the tag I made to go on it.

 Sorry about the hot pink background, but my signs for next summers Family Reunion are done!

 This next card, I made for Kalen.
Then loved them so much I made a bunch of them for my Tai Chi people, and am making Bryson's Valentine card similar!


 Mom's card came out of the box, it's probably been posted a year or two ago!
I forgot to take a picture of Vanessa's, as I was hurrying to get it in the mail.
And it was awesome!
She said she'd take a pic & send it!

This is Bryson & I watching the Grinch last time we Face timed!

This picture is right up there with the story telling picture, and the ride I got on his truck in this post!
He's so proud!
The angle I was at I could only see pixels, but did recognize Cindy Lou Who!
Still picking up branches in the yard from Windsday
I found this in the flower bed!

Made me smile!

I had another piece of stitchery done!
The kids' initials, my friend Helen made, 2 lifetimes ago, when I sent her a picture!

 
I am trying to figure out where to hang it!
It WILL go up somewhere!
 
It will be a quiet Christmas.
We might even just go out!
My brother & his son will be here on the 26th, I'll cook then!
That's all I got.
If I don't get back on here before Christmas, please have a great one!
With too much food, laughter, family & friends!
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!

Hi!
Super cute Father Christmas here Gail..Loving this embossed background too.
This woodwork is just AWESOME so much detail ...
LOve this Snowman too...Great idea this I might just store for another time lol.
Bryson is so cute! They live in a different world than we did lol...I didn't even see a TV until I was at least seven! Wouldn't have even been a word as 'face time'.
Natures Wonderful! This little Viola is such a pretty thing.
Me? I could do with extra walls putting up to hang pictures! I have them propped up against wall lol..Haven't the heart to pull existing ones down! as each one tells it's own story.
Have a great Christmas Gail...

Ha! Can't believe I never commented when I read it... love your Christmas yards, the snowman in particular! Hope you've had a wonderful Christmas, even without all the cookies you had planned :-) My guests left at about noon today and I'm catching up with just about everything! Talk to you next year!
